This cannabis startup pioneered ā€œrapid onsetā€ gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isnā€™t an option if youā€™re at work or in public.

Thatā€™s why we were so excited when we found out about Moodā€™s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know youā€™re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

Did You Know? šŸ¦‰šŸ¦‰šŸ¦‰

A group of owls is called a parliament.

Pretty fitting, eh?

Wouldnā€™t you know those nocturnal fluffballs of wisdom don't just hang out in flocks or herds? No, no. When owls gather, itā€™s in parliaments, because of course it is. After all, they're classy, mysterious, and probably know more about ancient philosophy than the rest of us combined.

You might have guessed that owls earned their group name due to their long association with wisdom. Apparently, the word ā€œparliamentā€ brought to mind a council of intelligent beings making important decisions. Never mind that actual human parliaments often look more like a flock of geese squabbling over breadcrumbs. Owls, by comparison, seem even more dignified and composed, even when they're awkwardly spinning their heads 270 degrees.

Sadly, in real life, owls don't form parliaments all that often. Most species are solitary and would rather sit on a tree branch alone, staring into the distance like brooding poets. Unless theyā€™re plotting together to steal a beloved pet. (Hey, I didnā€™t say owls were all awesome.) The idea of them gathering in a group is about as rare as a politician keeping all their campaign promises.

But when owls do group up, like during nesting season or when there's a particularly good hunting spot, the term parliament applies. And isn't that just delightful?

SPECIAL ARTWORK THAT GIVES BACK

Transform your love into art with our personalized trees. Our custom artwork is perfect for weddings, anniversaries, engagements & more. But thatā€™s not all! With each piece sold, we donate a portion of the proceeds to plant trees. So, your purchase doesn't just celebrate love, it gives back, contributing to the regrowth and preservation of our forests.

Around the Valley (and LA) āœŒšŸæšŸ™

Here are some things Around the Valley we think might be of interest -

Peace Week āœŒšŸæ

Next Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and there are a couple of things youā€™re going to want to know about. But one of them is an immediate sort of thing.

Thereā€™s a Peace Week Celebration at Doolittle Active Adult Center on Sunday (January 19), but you have to call to RSVP by today (702-229-6125). So, if you want to be part of the celebration, get on that thing.

This is from the official listing:

Enjoy this community celebration of Peace Week as we honor the life, legacy and contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In the spirit of Dr. King, we will honor several inspiring leaders who are making positive changes in our community. The event will feature performances of music by saxophonist Kiana Oliver, inspirational dance by Trinity West and guest speaker Cassandra Cotton. A light brunch will be served. The event is free and open to the public.
