Is CBD Safe On College Campuses?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:12:24 GMT

View the original article about CBD on College Campuses  at Real Tested CBD.It’s no secret that cannabis has always been around “underground” on college campuses. Watch any film that chronicles college life from the 1960s onward, and you’ll find plenty of references to pot. However, just because cannabis circulated on many American campuses, that never meant it was legal in dorms. Quite the contrary.For most of the 20th century, every US state outlawed pot. Even though some territories have lifted their bans on cannabis, THC remains a federally illegal substance. Plus, the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (DFSCA) enforces all US colleges to put forward preventive info on alcohol and drugs if they want to receive federal funding.While cannabis is a no-no in US colleges, does that mean CBD is also off-limits in college? After all, the 2018 US Farm Bill legalized hemp-derived items like CBD. Also, since CBD is non-psychoactive, it doesn’t carry the “high-inducing” reputation of de...

Somni Weighs In with Gravity

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:12:24 GMT

Somni Weighs In with Gravity: Somni is the solo project of UK-born, L.A.-based artist Leo Shulman. He first got interested in electronic music when he was in high school.“I’d already been recording my guitar ideas for a few years in an old version of Logic Pro that my dad had on his computer, but started really realizing the possibilities of music software and sampling when I heard stuff like Portishead, Amon Tobin, and then later Flying Lotus with his album Los Angeles,” he says. “I remember it blowing my mind that one person could create such weird, complex music by themselves just on a computer. So I started trying to get weirder with it, using different types of FX, reversing and chopping up different types of samples and it just went from there – I was obsessed.”Somni describes his sound as a blend between the L.A. beat scene sounds that inspired him to start producing seriously (“stuff like Flying Lotus, Shlohmo, Teebs etc”), mixed wit...

How ‘hero’ Chris Paul set up Steph Curry for Warriors’ wild game-sealing shot

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:12:24 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Before there could be a game-winning moonshot from Stephen Curry, there had to be a rocket thrown to him.Chris Paul, the 12-time All-Star, can still launch them. Even as he’s past his prime and even when he’s not feeling 100%, either.When Paul corralled a loose ball along the baseline with the game clock dwindling under 13 seconds, he didn’t panic. Of course he didn’t; the 38-year-old has been in every game situation throughout his 19-year career.Paul collected the 50-50 ball and glanced up at the shot clock in one motion. The Warriors were up 127-126 in overtime, so a 3 would essentially ice out Boston. He locked eyes across the court with Curry, who flashed both hands above his head and relocated from the corner to the wing, creating a sliver of a passing lane for Paul. The point guard took one dribble towards the paint, left his feet and fired a pass right at the letters on Curry’s jersey.There Paul was, creating the shot that won Tuesday night’s game — a vi...

His death was declared a homicide this month after the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office finalized a report showing the infant suffered from “combined effects of blunt force injuries of head, severe malnourishment and dehydration,” according to the boy’s death certificate.Yan also is suspected of assault on a child with force likely to produce great bodily injury resulting in death, a felony, court records show.Investigators suspect Yan was the only person to have cared for the infant from March 23 until April 4 — a nearly two-week stretch that ended with Yan texting the boy’s father a request to buy cold medicine for the chi...

Community opposition shuts down Santa Rita Jail expansion project indefinitely

A contentious plan to build a new mental health facility at the Santa Rita Jail has been tabled indefinitely, prompting celebration from community advocates who successfully lobbied against the project and sending Alameda County back to the drawing board.The expansion would have added more than 40,000 square feet to the Dublin jail complex — already one of the largest in the nation — by constructing a new stand-alone building for mental health services.
