YOUR GUIDE TO THE 14 BEST CBD & DELTA-8 BRANDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2023

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 01:42:53 GMT

Along with the legalization of THC in many US states, CBD has become a multi-billion dollar business. Hemp-derived CBD and Delta-8 products are legal in most states, and as Marijuana’s “little sisters,” CBD and the minor cannabinoids are not as psychoactively potent but still produce many of the other effects of weed. CBD is used to reap the benefits of cannabis for everything from pain relief to skin issues, while hemp-derived delta-8 has about two-thirds to one-half the psychoactive potency of traditional delta-9 THC but may produce similar pain relief and relaxation levels.The move toward cannabis normalization has provided the consumer with many choices for consumption. CBD can now be found in just about any form you might want – topical, edible, smokable. Delta-8 can also be consumed in multiple ways – even applied to hemp flower for traditional smoking. We weeded through the offerings to find the best. Here are our Spring 2023 picks for CBD and Delta-8 brands.#1 PLAIN JA...

Parents divided over swastikas’ removal from ‘Sound of Music’ at California elementary school

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 01:42:53 GMT

When Rolling Hills Elementary sixth-graders perform “The Sound of Music” this week, Nazi imagery will be omitted from the play.The decision to amend parts of the iconic musical set in 1938 Austria, Fullerton School District officials said, was because “the juxtaposition of powerful and destructive symbols with innocent children has the potential not only to spark controversy but also to attract individuals or groups with ill intent.”After a Rolling Hills parent expressed their concern about having their sixth grader wear a swastika in the musical, the FSD board decided to remove any Nazi images as well as the “Heil Hitler” salute from the performance, said Superintendent Bob Pletka. Swastikas are ancient symbols appropriated by Nazis that continue to represent hatred of Jews.“This was all about a safety issue,” Pletka said. “That is why we responded.”The move has garnered mixed reactions. While some parents and staff members support the decision, others worry that it’s censorship.“T...

DUNEDIN — The parents of the man who would be president live in a tidy, single-story ranch house in a Gulf Coast suburb of Florida.The three-bedroom, two-bath, concrete block house with a brick facade is the childhood home of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who announced his run for the White House on Wednesday night.The home’s landscaping is well-maintained, though with a browning lawn likely due to Florida’s recent drought. A gold Jeep Patriot and a black Toyota Prius are parked in the driveway. The Prius has an  “FSU Dad” bumper sticker and a Ron DeSantis campaign sticker.A welcome mat with an FSU logo is a second reminder of the other child, their daughter and DeSantis’ only sibling who died unexpectedly eight years ago. The governor has rarely spoken about her.A slender, elderly man in glasses and a dark T-shirt answers. He apologizes as he fends off a reporter’s attempts to find out more about his son’s evolution into an ambitious politician and conservative firebrand.“I’m afraid I’m not g...

Published Sat, 08 Feb 2025 01:42:53 GMT

Our realignment lesson for this month has become clear with a week to spare.Wait long enough to finalize a media rights agreement, allow the process to cross two calendar years, drag across 11 months, wade through a swamp of speculation and destabilization efforts and — presto! — permission structures appear on the horizon.Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported ESPN is being transformed into a streaming service, a momentous change in sports broadcasting that could increase the Pac-12’s comfort level with including a streaming component in its media rights package.This week, the ACC presidents approved a change in the league’s revenue model that rewards postseason performance. Schools that qualify for the College Football Playoff and thrive in the NCAA Tournament will receive a larger share of the postseason cash.Will the Pac-12 presidents do the same as they work through a new media rights contract?
