Every young boy with an imagination dreams of blowing shit up. What can we say? As a former young boy (though my ex-girlfriends would disagree on the “former” part), we can’t help ourselves. Thanks to the Make-A-Wish foundation, one young boy got to live out his fantasy.
The Make-A-Wish is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, providing light and joy to kids and their families during their tough times. Twelve-year-old Declan was diagnosed with leukemia in 2015, but is now in remission. To lighten his recovery, Make-A-Wish and the Australian Federal Police granted his simple request.
“My name is Declan, I’m 12, and my wish was to blow something up,” he told Sky News.
Declan traveled to AFP’s Specialist Response Group at its Majura headquarters in Canberra, spending the day at one of their training villages. There he ran through several police scenarios, and detonated several explosive charges.
“He’s got an aptitude,” Sergeant Peter Murphy said. “I’m not sure what he actually expected, but once he started functioning a couple … he was getting into it.”
Declan’s family was very thankful for the AFP and Make-A-Wish foundation in helping his explosive dreams come true. Much to his and his family’s surprise, Declan also went to Australia’s Parliament house, where he met Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove. It’s likely a day the young boy will never forget.
It was beyond our expectation.” Declan’s mother Belinda said. “He wanted to just blow something up and he did that. Which is awesome.”
Kanye West was recently released from the UCLA Medical Center, where he spent nine days undergoing treatment. West was reportedly suffering from severe sleep deprivation and exhaustion, though an official diagnosis has yet to be announced.
While Kanye was released the hospital, it doesn’t mean he will be returning to his Calabasas home. People magazine is reporting that Kanye is living apart from wife Kim Kardashian and his two children, as he continues treatment for undisclosed mental illnesses.
“He is receiving outpatient care else with a medical team,” a source told People. “Kim still seems concerned but is supportive. They don’t know for how long Kanye will need outpatient care.”
However People also reported that Kanye’s children, North and Saint, did not accompany Kim to visit their father while he was in the hospital. As the insider told them, “She is very worried about the kids being around Kanye.”
Reports indicate that Kanye West was sent to the hospital by his personal physician, following a week of erratic behavior and comments. This included unexpected criticisms of Jay Z and Beyoncé, which was met with swift backlash.
It led to Kanye cutting his Sacramento concert short following an outburst of his political views and canceling the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo tour. When it was announced that Kanye was in the hospital, many celebrities and supporters expressed their best wishes for Kanye, hoping he heals soon.
Live game shows have always been the perfect medium for wonderful unscripted moments. No shows are better for such highlights than Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. Both feature regular people unused to being on television competing for cash, which of course makes them nervous, giddy, and more likely to shout out something they otherwise would never dream of saying, and both are hosted by quick-witted men who have seen it all and occasionally can’t stop themselves from letting loose a too-easy insult about one of the contestants. Below are five of the best moments from the two shows this year.
Alex Trebek Raps “Jumpman”
One of Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek’s greatest strengths is his deadpan delivery, and at no time is that more evident than when he’s reciting rap lyrics, as he did in October when he recited “Jumpman, jumpman, jumpman, them boys up to something’/ Uh, uh, uh, I think I need some Robitussin” from Drake’s 2015 collaboration with Future.

Wheel of Fortune Contestant Incorrectly Guesses “Professional Gynecologist”
Earlier this week, two contestants named Britney and Rhonda tried to guess a two-word occupation, the first word of which is clearly “Professional” and the second word has a 11 letters and begins with a “G” and ends with a “T.” The duo guessed “Professional Gynecologist,” which doesn’t even fit. “I knew that was coming,” host Pat Sajak responded dryly. The correct answer, in case you were wondering, was “Professional Genealogist.”
It’s always fun when smaller musical acts get a shout-out on such a big show, so it was nice to see the legendary Pacific northwest indie group Sleater-Kinney on Jeopardy! earlier this year.
In October, contestant Susan Cole explained on-air to Trebek her love of nerdcore rap, which she said was one of her favorite hobbies. “I think it’s very fun,” she said. “It’s called nerdcore hip-hop. It’s people who identify as nerdy rapping about the things they love: video games, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners. It’s really catchy and fun.”
Wheel of Fortune Contestant Solves Puzzles With Only One Letter On the Board
In March, Wheel of Fortune contestant Robert Santoli somehow solved “Port & Starboard” with only one letter–the “D”–on the board. Later, he solved “Oh What a Night” with only three letters on the board, and “Don’t Let the Cat Out of the Bag” with only Ts, Es, and Hs on the board. Impressive. Watch it here.
Teen’s Replies With Meme to Final Jeopardy! Answer
During the 2016 Teen Tournament on Jeopardy!, a young contestant named Sabrina didn’t know the answer to the Final Jeopardy! clue (the answer was the Great Barrier Reef), so she wrote down, “What are those?” which is of course a reference to one of the greatest videos of the past decade. Hearing Trebek read the answer in his trademark deadpan made it even better.
Regarding Oregon’s marijuana industry, cannabis industry economist Beau Whitney of Whitney Economics and the Oregon Cannabis Business Council jointly released the results of a survey conducted this November that predicts a $10 million drop in fourth-quarter state tax revenue, a $187.5 million uptick in black-market sales, and layoffs and dispensary closures statewide due to Oregon Health Authority (OHA)’s new testing rules.
“October was a defining, if not catastrophic, month for Oregon’s cannabis industry, which, until then, was growing at a very fast rate,” Whitney said. “OHA’s new testing rules, which very few existing operations can presently comply with, virtually crippled the supply chain of adult-use and medical cannabis, from grower to retailer.”
Deployed on October 1, a change in Oregon Health Authority (OHA)’s testing certification, test limits and enhancement of a banned substances list for Oregon cannabis products resulted in longer test throughput times, a lack of available supply of cannabis products in both the medical and adult use markets, job losses and economic hardship.
The Whitney Economics/OCBC survey, conducted from November 14 to November 30 among 683 Oregon cannabis businesses, indicates:
Supply constraints due to the changes in testing protocol in Oregon have significantly impacted the Oregon Cannabis industry
On an annualized basis, black market activities have increased a projected $187.5 million due to a combination of higher prices and lower supply
Oregon tax revenues are projected to decrease by a minimum of $10.0M in Q4. This is conservative and is likely closer to $15 million – $20 million, as OLCC-licensed outlets are allowed to sell more product to an individual than is currently allowed in medical dispensaries. This was poised to increase sales by 2x to 4x current levels. The OHA rules constrain the industry at a time where there should be exponential growth
22 percent of survey respondents indicated they are going out of business, and a large majority of survey participants plan to lay off employees for one to three months starting in fourth quarter 2016
Per survey results, as the new testing rules went into effect, very few laboratories were fully certified by the state regulatory bodies, so thus every medical and adult use business was required to use the certified labs to bring post-October 1 product to market. This created a bottleneck in the supply chain and, as a result, product availability was constrained. Test throughput, originally modeled by regulatory policy analysts to average five days, ended up in the range of 14-21 days, making products scarce. To make matters worse, the expanded testing criteria resulted in more failed tests. Product that was compliant on September 30 was now failing in large numbers for pesticides and other banned substances, as the thresholds for failure were tightened significantly.
Although official failure percentages are not available today, based on inputs from the laboratories themselves, data indicates between 40-60 percent of all submissions failed the enhanced testing standards (although government officials claim it is closer to 20-30 percent).
Given the perfect storm of a bottleneck at test, increased throughput times and a high percentage of test failures, the legal Oregon cannabis market is highly constrained for supply, Whitney said.
“Immediate action by the regulatory body, the OHA, and the Governor’s Office must take place now, before it is too late,” Whitney said. “The industry strongly supports public safety policies, but some reform must be made now that gradually increases standards rather than implementing them retroactively. Otherwise it will create an even larger public policy issue via a massive spike in illicit market sales, which will in turn increase access via black market channels to our youth.”
Ireland will soon be the latest nation to legalize cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Irish legislators passed a bill to make legalize medical marijuana after the government agreed that it would not stand in the way.
Gino Kenny, the sponsor of the bill said that it would give doctors the authority to decide if patients would benefit from the herb. The bill was passed Ireland’s lower house without a vote. The measure now goes to committee for scientific and regulatory review.
The landmark decision will allow Irish citizens suffering serious illnesses such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia the option of using cannabis as a treatment. Those suffering from chronic pain will also be covered in the legislation.
What is most interesting about this development is an Irish physician is credited with bringing cannabis to the Western world more than 175 years ago.
In 1839, Dr. William O’Shaughnessy brought cannabis into Europe from India. While in India,O’Shaughnessy witnessed the beneficial effects the herb had on relieving pain. O’Shaughnessy, who wrote countless reports on the drug, began using it on his patients in Europe.
Cannabis remained in the pharmacopoeia of Western medicine until the 193os, when the United States began its campaign to criminalize and demonize cannabis.
Kelly, the legislation’s sponsor, believes the Irish government will not stand in the way of progress.
“There is also increasing evidence that when patients use cannabis-based products more toxic alternatives such as opiate painkillers and sedatives are reduced and more serious side effects and deaths on these drugs are reduced,” he told the Irish Times. “Over the past five decades the cannabis plant has been stigmatised, criminalised and demonised by governments and corporations with their own vested interests. The war on drugs has been a miserable failure all over the world and governments are now picking up the pieces.”
Cannabis for medicinal use is permitted in the Netherlands, Croatia, Malta, the Czech Republic, Australia, Canada and a number of in 29 U.S. states.
How bad was the food your folks cooked for you when you were growing up? Did your mom burn the hell out of a grilled cheese? Did grandma feed you stew made from expired condiments? Did dad fail you when he made you his famous breadless PB&J “sandwich?” If nothing comes to mind, you’re in way better shape that the commenters who answered a reddit string asking users to recall their worst culinary nightmares when they still lived at home. Here are 8 “best of the worst” stories that will make you cherish the days when you thought the absence of dessert was the worst thing that could happen to a meal.
The Alaska state treasury has received its first-ever revenue from legal marijuana taxes. And while the one-month total appears small, big things are expected.
Four cannabis growers forked over $10,400 to the state after one month of the legal program. The first retail store in the state opened its doors for business on Oct. 29.
One of the first retail stores, Greatland Ganja, gladly paid $5,600 in taxes in its first month of operation.
“We’re proud to be able to come in and pay our first marijuana tax. It’s something that we’ve been we’ve been working toward for between two and three years now so it’s nice to finally reach this day,” Leif Abel, co-owner and co-founder of Greatland Ganja in Kasilof, said. “It’s kind of as big of a day as our first sale was to us.”
It as a big day for Ken Alper, division director for the Alaska Department of Revenue’s Tax Division, too.
“This was the first delivery to the first couple of stores that happened to be open during the month of October,” Alper said. “We’re going to obviously see an upward trend.”
How Upward Is The Trend?
The Alaska Department of Revenue estimates that it will receive $6 million in 2017 and $12 million in 2018 from marijuana sales. That is a huge jump from the an earlier projection of between $3.7 million and $7 million a year.
But it’s not just the tax revenue that is filling the coffers in Alaska. Manufacturers and growers paid $341,512.50 in fees between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016. From July 1 through Nov. 1 this year, they paid another $428,144, according to the Peninsula Clarion.
According to the Tax Foundation, an independent tax policy research organization:
Alaska’s Measure 2 set a $50 per ounce tax on marijuana, paid by the marijuana cultivator when marijuana is transferred to a retail store or product marketing facility. At current going prices of $250 per ounce in Anchorage, this would be a 20 percent effective tax rate. (However, legislators have explored alternative taxation options.)
In the first month alone, growers paid taxes on about 13 pounds of marijuana.
There is no denying Whistler. British Columbia is a premier winter destination with world class slopes (did you know every Blackcomb run was designed on a computer so there would be less flat spots for snowboarders?), extensive cross country ski trails, and now even an ice rink.

Unfortunately, Whistler gets a bad rap from hardcore food enthusiasts, but there are gems out there if you look beyond the KFC and the Savage Beagle.
This is the second of a three-part series on Whistler eats: On a tight budget, get ‘er done in 25 loonies or less, and I don’t mind throwing down some bones.
On A Tight Budget
Just because you don’t drive up to Whistler in a Mercedes Gelandewagen and you would rather put your moolah towards lift tickets and gear, doesn’t mean you have to live off a loaf of discounted white bread and a six-pack of Natty Light. Here are some tasty options.
Horstman Hut
Located at the top of the 7th Heaven lift on Blackcomb mountain, this European-themed hut is the most charming mid-mountain option. Forget that generic chili in a breadbowl when you can choose from a selection of cured meats and cheeses, meat pies, warm danishes and crostatas, all washed down with some LowenbrauGerman beer.
Horstman is a cute refueling station and has one of the most stunning vistas of the Coast Mountain range. Everyone crowds indoors to get some relief from the cold, but I always take my lunch out to one of the tables outside so I can soak in the beauty. One small downside – The Hut is “rustic,” meaning: If composting toilets aren’t for you, then you will need to make another pit stop.
When you see a constant flow of hungry college-aged lads huddled around this cozy down home cooking joint, you know that probably means large heaps of food served quickly as to not deter from valuable time on the mountain and at a reasonable price. In close quarters, the staff at Ingrid’s promptly cranks out North American-styled bagel sandwiches, wraps, meatloaf, and turkey burgers. But where I think it gets interesting is when they go global with their scrumptious falafel sandwiches, chicken schnitzel and curry wraps. Prices are generally in the $6-$8 range. There are a few outdoor and indoor tables and it is carryout friendly.
Samurai is no Iron Chef and is probably the antithesis from the luxuries at Vancouver’s legendary sushi master’s Tojo restaurant, but this is the place to go when you are looking for a quick healthy pick-me-up that will satiate your voracious appetite after hitting it hard on the mountain; all the while not messing with your small collection of loonies. Situated at both ends of Whistler with outposts at Creekside and Nesters (which is located just outside the main village), the menu options are vast.
The way it works: Place your order at the counter, pay and then wait for the sushi elves in the back to churn out your sushi. The nice staff will bring you out your order when it is done. The low wait times considering the mad rush of people are impressive.

Samurai does a fair share of carryout orders, but they have a few booths and seats if you want to chow down on the spot. I recently ordered four rolls and a miso soup for $20 (including tax and tip). Oh, and I can never seem to find the bathroom at the Nester location so if you figure it out, let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Pizza, something I still generally associate with fraternity guys, late night eating and Pizza Hut (shame on me), I know deserves more respect. Creekbread’s fresh flatbread artisan pizza made on wood-fired clay oven is the perfect reminder of that. Clientele ranging from hip young families to silver foxes dart to this joint around 7pm as they know they are in for a treat. I could go on and on about the coolness of Creekbread, but here are a few snippets: Creekbread only uses fire to cook, they ground up tomatoes and herbs to make their sauce (no canned tomatoes at this dojo), and they source from local suppliers up in Pemberton who share their commitment to sustainable agriculture and farm practices as much as possible. Their crust is made from 100% organic Candadian wheat, milled into white flour with the wheat germ restored.
My routine generally involves starting with the No Boundaries salad which comes with a piling heap of romaine and at least eight other fun ingredients such as sulfate-free organic sundried tomatoes, BC grown mushrooms, Evergreen Farm rosemary, Maui grown pineapple, arame seaweed, and Pemberton roasted potatoes to name a few. Then, I move onto the 12 inch homemade sausage pizza with housemade nitrate-free maple-fennel sausage, caramelized organic onions and BC grown mushrooms baked on organic bread dough with housemade garlic oil. The aforementioned items can generously feed two healthy appetites, but I am a glutton.
With mega high ceilings and wooden frame, I feel like I am eating in a mountain lodge. Oh, and the owners are representin’ the good ol’ US of A as as they are from the East Coast. These people could give Seattle’s local favorite pizza joint Delancey a run for their money.
This 2010 structure constructed for the 2010 Olympics always seems to bail me out when I am in dire need of a smoothie or a warm cookie after cross country skiing or mountain biking in the Lost Lake trail system. Check out bike races from this spot in the summer or catch a rest from cross country skiing while drinking some hot cocoa. While you are there, take a gander at the interior’s unique architecture.
Crystal Hut
Waffles on the mountain? Hells ya. This rustic hut also serves your typical fare of soups and sandwiches, but in looking around the cabin, it is clear everyone is here for the fluffy fully loaded waffles topped with strawberries, raspberries, mini chocolate chips, maple syrup, and whipped cream.

Like your typical hole-in-the-wall burrito joint, Dups looks like it has been around for a million years but also like a lot of hole in the walls, the food is satisfying and cheap. The food is all-around decent, but Dups’ differentiator and the reason they made my list is because of their chicken burrito and the friendly service. Equipped with a chicken rotisserie, the chicken always tastes like it just came out of my mom’s oven. $9.50 gets you a healthy serving of the chicken goodness, along with beans, lettuce, rice, cheese and salsa. They get bonus points because they have a KEXP sticker prominently displayed behind the counter.
If you are feeling mega hungry, you can try your hand at a Phatty which is a burrito four times the size of a normal already plump burrito. If you successfully eat the Phatty, you get your picture on the Wall of Fame, which lines the back wall of Dups.

Tip: Go for lunch when the rotisserie is up and running. Otherwise, you get the leftovers at night. Still decent, but not quite as good.

Your eleventh birthday isn’t supposed to be special. It isn’t a milestone of any kind. You reached double-digits the previous year and you still can’t drink or drive. You don’t even yet know drinking and driving is such a condemnable act. No large importance weighs upon the event except that you are a child and day-in, day-out monotony hasn’t yet ruined your sense of fresh wonder. So turning 11 is special in that sense: You still treat a birthday as a cause to be celebrated instead of mourned, drowned in drinks, wondering how you lost another year.
Yet many 10-year-olds across the world believe their upcoming birthday will be a magical one. That is because they suspect they will receive an invitation to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. If not Hogwarts, then Durmstrang Institute or Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. Not ideal, but those or any other wizardry school would suffice.
As an adult reading this, you (probably) recognize this will not happen. Perhaps you too waited up late your 11th birthday, long past your bedtime, knowing, just knowing your invitation should arrive any minute now. This did not transpire. The day passed. You’re not a witch or a wizard, you realized, clutching a Harry Potter book. Then you wept.
Being a sorcerer wasn’t what you really wanted, if we’re being honest here. No, your wishes were more specific. Through just Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, J.K. Rowling unraveled a tapestry with textures so rich and detailed, you could lose weeks daydreaming what it’d be like to walk among them. There you were enjoying a butterbeer pint at Hogsmeade, mixing potions in class, perusing the shops of Diagon Alley with friends. Watching or playing football, in its American or European versions, felt prosaic when a sport like Quidditch existed. And what house would the Sorting Hat place you in? Obviously Gryffindor.

That’s the place you wished to escape: Harry’s wondrous world. Casting spells was the bonus. As Rowling unspooled the yarn further with successive HP novels, you sunk deeper into the fantasy. You imagined this was your story, too, which explains why you re-read those novels several or 10 or 30 times. No one re-reads the Harry Potter series to re-live the narrative. Defeating Voldemort was just an excuse to materialize that flourishing world. Its characters, too, though as time passed, as you were on your 12th run-through of reading, their glittering pheromones wafted away. Your primary reasoning for returning was simple: To step inside that world and feel enchanted once again.
The trick of successive HP novels is how it expands a previously clouded area or feature of the story, expounding your vision for just how big this universe can be. The Chamber of Secrets digs beneath the school. The Goblet of Fire invites other schools (you mean there’s other schools, too!) into the fray. The Deathly Hallows reveals the world beyond the microcosm of Hogwarts and so on.
It creates this illusion that Harry’s world—screw that, it’s your world too—spread infinitely in all directions. There was always more to uncover. J.K. Rowling doesn’t stoke those embers; she douses you with lighter fluid so you’re literally consumed within those fires. Unleashing eight films, the digital portal Pottermore, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in two dang Orlando theme parks, publishing supplementary books like Quidditch Through The Ages and The Tales of Beedle The Bard (albeit for charity), a stage play-as-“eighth book”, and her George Lucas-esque but-reallycorrections of the storyover the years feels like a (forbidden) forest fire.
Which brings us to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The Eddie Redmayne-starring vehicle re-imagines your wondrous world for the big screen once again. Inspired by the book of the same name, we follow Newt Scamander, an eccentric outcast chasing loose magical beasts around 1920s New York City, his odd, endearing mishaps leading him into a story bigger than his own. The background narrative will be familiar to you: Gellert Grindelwald, a powerful dark wizard, is attempting to instigate a war between wizards and Muggle worlds.
Watching it you can’t help getting sucked in. Exploring Newt’s suitcase containing gorgeous, mythical creatures and hearing American wizards calling Muggle “No-Majs” and seeing spells and visiting a speakeasy ran by goblin gangsters. The feeling reminds you of visiting home for the holidays and drifting to sleep with your old Teddy Bear, an artifact inspiring both memories and imagination.
That is J.K. Rowling’s gift as a storyteller—she taps into that childish suspicion a vibrant, marvelous world hides beneath our pre-conceived reality. Does she exploit your cravings to reside within those glamourous crevices? Of course, but so does every storyteller to some degree. Every interesting narrative romanticizes the drab colors of our existence, enriching our dumb lives into something meaningful.
Though Rowling and the movie isn’t without fault. The Fantastic Beast screenplay is a five-installment series written by her, another extension to the Harry Potter universe. While it carries a tight three acts, the plot’s pretty thin. Rowling repeats herself in that third-act character switcheroo (Scabbers is really Peter Pettigrew; Mad-Eye Moody is really Barty Crouch Jr., etc.). It’s so obvious you finish her punchline before she tells the joke.

Katherine Waterson tries about four squawky New Yawk accents as Tina and none of them work. Colin Farrell unleashed a subtle and devastating performance in The Lobster—one of the year’s best films—but appears in scenes as if he’s just woken from a nap. Redmayne contorts his body oddly and talks out the side of his mouth. An oversell for the part, but Redmayne’s an Oscar Actor; not expecting his weird acting choices is kind of your fault.
Do these misfires matter in the long run? Not really. Harry Potter was never about these standard measuring qualities. It’s about the world, the world, the magical world. Rowling, it appears, will spin that fantastical tapestry until her fingers are pulverized; she’ll probably settle for her toes even then. While some fans cherish this world too preciously, absurdly refusing to leave its safety net for any reason, there’s nothing wrong wanting to revisit every so often.
This may depress some serious-minded people. But forget them. Their eleventh birthdays were likely a blandly joyous event. They probably didn’t even cry.
It can heal dry skin, reduce inflammation, and kick cellulite to the curb. That’s why cannabis is the star of each one of these new lotions, body butters, bubble baths, and lip balms that will have everyone saying, High Gorgeous!
With packaging that looks perfect on big beauty chains’ shelves, and names like High-Biscus, Plain Jane and Sugar High, the infused-product line is taking the canna-world by storm. The decadent creations are the latest from the all-women team at Yummi Karma, who rocked the edibles scene with their award-winning infused potato chips, popcorn, and tinctures.
“We want to normalize cannabis,” says Yummi Karma CEO Krystal Kitahara. “Gone are the days of boring topicals with medicinal packaging. California voters have spoken, and it’s time to get excited about the future of cannabis products.”
The biggest question people have is, will I get high from using them? Probably not. THC does not enter your bloodstream when you apply it topically. The High Gorgeous line has between 25 to 200 milligrams of THC in each product.
“While you won’t feel the psychoactive effects from the THC, you will feel very relaxed,” says Alysia Sofios, marketing director of Yummi Karma. “The bubble bath, especially, is a life-saver. It makes all the stresses of the day disappear. There’s something magical about these topicals.”
Cannabis can also help with pain and inflammation. Infused topicals are a favorite of professional and amateur athletes alike, as well as anyone with neck or back soreness. Arthritis sufferers have also found comfort in applying cannabis creams.
“It’s the best of both worlds,” says Kitahara. “They have all the medicinal benefits, while smelling amazing and making your skin soft and smooth. I can’t wait for everyone to try them. I know they’ll love them as much as we do!”
While Yummi Karma mainly targets women, the team has been surprised by how many men are looking forward to testing out the topicals.
There is also an option for those who do not have a medical marijuana recommendation, or those with very sensitive skin. Plain Jane is a fragrance-free lotion with no THC and 100 milligrams of CBD. Cannabidiol (CBD) is used to treat a variety of skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, allergic reactions, and even skin cancer.
The complete High Gorgeous line will hit dispensary shelves early next year, and already has a waiting list.
