Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:10:13 GMT

Interest in hemp-derived delta-8 THC is almost on par with CBD oil. Indeed, if you’ve recently visited a CBD shop, hemp dispensary, or CBD website, you’ve probably noticed delta-8 items. It seems like American consumers can’t get enough of the psychoactive cannabinoid in e-juices, gummies, and tinctures.Although delta-8 has become increasingly prevalent in the US market, that doesn’t mean it’s an ideal supplement for everyone. Since delta-8 THC is such a new substance, there are a lot of questions surrounding its safety profile. Although many people report good results using high-quality delta-8 products, there are some concerns people should know about before diving into delta-8 extracts.Can Every Healthy Adult Safely Take Delta-8 Products?According to most university-backed surveys, delta-8 THC produces a slightly less intense experience than delta-9 THC.

California craft beer: What the helles is that clean, crisp beer?

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:10:13 GMT

Now that summer is officially upon us, I started thinking about that perfect hot weather beer. You may be tempted to reach for a low-calorie light beer when the temperature rises, but resist that impulse. A lighter-bodied beer with full flavor is what you really want when it’s hot, something that really satisfies your thirst, not just a watery resemblance of beer.I was in Munich, Germany recently, pondering perfect summer beers. Pilsner may be the most popular brew throughout Germany and the rest of the world, but not in Munich. In the capital of Bavaria and the home of Oktoberfest, helles is the most popular beer.Because of its slightly profane name, at least to our American sensibilities, helles is not nearly as well known here, although it is imported and brewed everywhere. You just have to know what to look for — and why you should.In German, “helles” isn’t blasphemous. It simply means bright, light, pale or even blond. When applied to beer, a helles (or ...

Which California cities have the best mountain views? (It’s not the Bay)

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 09:10:13 GMT

Which California city has the best mountain views?Well, it’s certainly not San Jose or San Francisco – those have only C- and D-tier mountain views, several rungs below the S- and A-tier mountainscapes of Pasadena and Palm Springs or Weed up near the Oregon border. At least so says this new visualization of “California Cities by Impressiveness of Mountain Backdrop,” which applies hard science to a pastime Californians know and love – gazing lovingly into the distance at mountaintops. (You’ll find the tiered city ranking and a letter grade explainer at the bottom.)The visualization is the work of Bay Area native Kai Xu, a student-researcher at Yale University, who’s studying new ways to measure mountains on Earth, other planets and asteroids. He’s also the creator of PeakJut.com, a website that quantitatively ranks mountains by their awesomeness. Let’s just say, the guy likes mountains.Kai Xu, a student-researcher at Yale University who lives near San Ma...

By Josh Eidelson | BloombergApple Inc. “coercively interrogated” retail employees about their pro-union sympathies and restricted the circulation of union flyers, a US labor board judge ruled, marking a victory for labor organizers at the world’s most valuable company.In a Tuesday decision, a National Labor Relations Board judge wrote that Apple violated the rights of employees at its World Trade Center store in New York City, one of several around the country where workers waged union campaigns last year.The judge wrote that Apple should be required to “cease and desist” from coercively interrogating workers about their legally protected labor activism.
