Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:25 GMT

Read the original article about Age Requirements for Buying Delta-8 THC at Real Tested CBD.Delta-8 is in a weird legal situation. Even though a US federal court said hemp-derived delta-8 is legal in America, some states don’t recognize a difference between delta-9 and delta-8 products. There are also no laws on how old customers should be to order delta-8 THC.Due to the lack of scientific evidence on delta-8’s effects, it’s unknown at what age this cannabinoid is “safe” to use. However, most states and hemp shops have agreed to only sell delta-8 THC products to adults over 21. While this age restriction isn’t written in the 2018 US Farm Bill, it’s widely accepted in the current hemp industry.Explaining Age Restrictions On Delta-8 THC ProductsIf territories allow delta-8 THC, they will probably require hemp vendors to sell delta-8 products to adults over 21. This age requirement matches the laws every legal weed state has for delta-9 THC prod...

DA Stern has a Green Day

DA Stern has a Green Day: L.A. indie-pop artist D.A. Stern told us about his Green Day experience.D.A. Stern: I was concerned with only a handful of things in 1997: fulfilling every achievement in Nintendo 64’s GoldenEye, studying for my—just a year away—Haftara, and Green Day.  I was in seventh grade. Word had spread in my Jewish day school that Green Day would be performing a concert and signing their new CD, Nimrod, at Tower Records in Manhattan, only 45 minutes and a universe away from my suburban New Jersey upbringing.  I had never been to a concert and couldn’t imagine getting to go to this one, so I was ecstatic when I got the call from two of the coolest kids in the school—EIGHTH GRADERS—that my rabid Green Day fandom had earned me a spot.  Why were these kids cool?  Well they had their own band, a real one called The Fizz.  They even had a song called “Last Week’s Lunch” that I had seen them play at the Purim festival.  The drummer, Daniel Ovadia, played the same instrument...

Upzoning overhaul near UC Berkeley campus aims to alleviate housing crisis on the Southside

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:25 GMT

BERKELEY — Roughly three years ago, Councilmember Rigel Robinson and his team conceptualized a vision to legalize 1,000 new residential housing units in the city’s Southside.“But I didn’t think that that met the severity of the housing crisis or the urgency of the moment,” Rigel said, reflecting on how he wagered that his policy staff could successfully develop even more ambitious zoning changes for his district, which encompasses UC Berkeley’s campus. “And they said, ‘Bet.’”On Tuesday, the Berkeley City Council approved the subsequent planning overhaul, which may allow an additional 2,650 residential units to be built near Telegraph Avenue — known for decades as the bustling, spiritual hub of Berkeley.This upzoning plan allows developers to construct up to 12 or more stories in one of the Southside’s busiest, densest neighborhoods — bounded by Bancroft Way, Prospect Street, Dwight Way and Fulton Street.Building heights along some portions of those streets were cap...

In Maryland, the Prince George’s County Council couldn’t agree on tightening the rules for cannabis dispensaries on Wednesday.A bill was in front of the council that would have limited where cannabis dispensaries could be located in the county to industrial areas and business parks.The bill needed six votes to pass, but only got five. One council member voted against it and two council members abstained.The majority of the residents who spoke at the meeting were in favor of the bill.“Think of the youth and teenagers, the effect on their brain functioning,” said resident Julia Baltimore. “Cannabis is destroying our youth and teenagers.”“The locations that will be most effected in our county are not the neighborhoods with sprawling one acre and half acre lots,” Abdullah Hijazi said. “But it will be in our more dense and low income communities inside the beltway, in commercial centers, closer to our homes where we already have a pro...

(CNN) — Back in September, the Miami Dolphins put up a historic scoreline. The franchise that Don Shula and Dan Marino built racked up 70 points, only three shy of the all-time NFL record, as it annihilated the Denver Broncos, the very same team that Miami head coach Mike McDaniel got his start at.The Dolphins scoring spree resulted in a franchise record for points, as well as an NFL record for total yards in a game at 726, as they became the highest-scoring team in a single game since Washington in 1966.Miami has become one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the league thanks to its high-flying offense and is often labelled as the ‘neutral’s favorite.’After years of being known as a defensive squad, the appointment of McDaniel has seen a marked improvement for the ‘Fins on the more glamorous side of the ball.“The Dolphins offense has underperformed and been in the shadow of the clubs’ defense for decades,” Joe Schad, a Dolphins journalist for the Palm Beach Post, ...
