These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2023

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies.

Calgary Flames Trade Talks: Influencing Stanley Cup Contenders

The Flames probably aren’t going to qualify for the NHL playoffs this season, but may have a say about who wins the Stanley Cup.

The Flames have already traded center Elias Lindholm and defenseman Nikita Zadorov to Vancouver, and are expected to move defensemen Noah Hanifin and Chris Tanev. They would like to move veteran goalie Jacob Markstrom, and rumors are circulating that Rasmus Andersson could also be moved.
