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.

Kathy Threlfall received two offers from a group of ultra-wealthy Silicon Valley investors to buy her Solano County farm and a two-story farmhouse built by her great-grandparents that’s “a little cocky-wobble” with age. The would-be buyers, a who’s-who of Silicon Valley billionaires, are snapping up farmland and suing neighbors to construct their vision of utopia north of Antioch and east of Vallejo.Threlfall, 75, is retired from cattle ranching, but still takes comfort in the rolling hills and farms surrounding her 240-acre property about three miles northwest of the Sacramento River. The landscape, green in winter and spring and golden now, fills her with a sense of home, community and “belonging somewhere.”Now, the uber-rich folk from out of town, operating under a secretive company, Flannery Associates, and its just revealed parent, California Forever, are bringing change, stress and turmoil, Threlfall said.She said no deal to the investors sh...Santa Clara County: Use of tear gas, pepper spray on mentally ill inmates raises concerns

A new report condoning the use of tear gas and pepper spray in Santa Clara County jails is raising concerns among criminal justice reform advocates who argue the county’s correctional officers shouldn’t be using chemical agents on mentally ill inmates.“This population of folks should not be in a county jail,” Silicon Valley DeBug community organizer Jose Valle said. “We should not be incarcerating mental illness. For the amount of money that’s being invested in military chemical weapons such as tear gas or tasers or anything of the like, that money could be reinvested into actual non-carceral treatment for these folks.”The report was commissioned earlier this year by the Board of Supervisors who asked the county’s office of correction and law enforcement monitoring to assess the use of tear gas and pepper spray in the jail and determine whether other alternatives could be used to gain inmate compliance and if current policies could be improv...18-year-old charged with second-degree murder in Sterling shooting

(CNN) — Cuando el huracán Idalia azotó Florida el miércoles por la mañana, se convirtió en el octavo huracán importante que azotó la costa del golfo en los últimos seis años. Y puede que no sea el último; la temporada de huracanes en el Atlántico aún no ha alcanzado su punto máximo y el golfo de México ha sido históricamente cálido: más energía para alimentar más tormentas mortales.Pero a medida que comienza el trabajo incansable de reconstrucción en lugares como el condado de Pasco, el más afectado, la llegada de Idalia renueva la pregunta de si es apropiado reconstruir en algunas áreas, dijeron los expertos a CNN, y dónde hacerlo.El cambio climático provocado por el hombre está causando estragos en la costa del golfo, que ya está experimentando uno de los aumentos del nivel del mar más rápidos del mundo. A medida que el océano se traga la costa, los impactos de las marejadas ciclónicas y las inundaciones son más peligrosos para las comunidades de estas zonas bajas.Para empeo...Duke and coach Mike Elko sees big opportunity in opener vs. No. 9 Clemson, the ACC’s perennial power

But it’s also a huge challenge.” Elko understands the Tigers, 11-3 last season, have skilled, capable players on both sides of the ball. Will Shipley is an all-ACC tailback while Cade Klubnik, who rallied the Tigers to their seventh ACC crown in eight year, opens his first full season as starting quarterback.The defense features potential All-Americans like Jeremia...Italy, Latvia clinch spots in Basketball World Cup quarterfinals
