Bedtime snacks are a controversial topic. Here’s what experts have to say on the matter.

It seems there is always trouble about being in bed, sleeping, oversleeping, intimacy issues and food in bed. Another big issue are screens. As the evening winds down, it can be tempting to reach for something as you stream, read, or roam around your place. Iturns out 93% of adults have an after-dinner snack at least once a week. But is a bedtime snack a bad idea?

Although experts do not recommend large meals before bedtime, a light snack can have several benefits. Key word being something small. A snack before bed could help prevent prevent low blood sugar. Certain snacks before bedtime can provide sleep benefits such as falling asleep faster. If you take insulin or other diabetes medications, you may sometimes need to snack before bedtime to treat or prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) during the night.

But, late-night snacks can add extra calories, which can lead to weight gain.

A key factor in determining weight gain is regular habits. While in theory, eating before bed shouldn’t cause weight gain, it’s a habit encouraging other bad habits. These snacks usually don’t count as a meal, meaning that they’re extra calories. They’re also occurring at the time of the day when people are the hungriest, meaning snacking can quickly transform into eating enough calories to throw off your daily caloric intake. The most popular night snacks among survey respondents were chips, crackers, and pretzels, with 53.1% choosing those foods as a go-to. They were No. 1 among men and women. Sugary snacks are also favored, with 43.4% choosing ice cream, 42.8% having cake or cookies, and 37.7% grabbing candy. Healthier options include sugar-free frozen pop, one light cheese stick, a tablespoon of peanut butter (15 grams) with celery, a hard-boiled egg, rice baby carrots or 3/4 cup light popcorn.

A key point is a snack and not a big feast. Experts generally recommend waiting at least a half hour after drinking fluids and at least 2–3 hours after having a full meal before lying down to go to sleep. This will help avoid indigestion to weight gain and even possible circadian rhythm disruptions.

Some research says for people who get very hungry at night, one snack after dinner could help them control urges for eating more. With the majority of people doing it at least once a week, it isn’t should you but what do you have? This help determine your sleep and you waist line the following days.

Want to wake up to an extra special breakfast? Try this marijuana breakfast treat!

During the 1985 holiday season, food history was made with the first Cinnabon^® Bakery in the SeaTac Mall in Seattle, Washington. Thousands of eager customers waited to try the original Cinnabon^® cinnamon roll and it became instant obsession. A father and son took the sugar, sticky breakfast treat and put it out for the world. This was the second big change for the bun, the canned cinnamon rolls premiered in 1956, changing weekend mornings for millions of households. The marriage of breakfast and dessert is a great way to start a special morning, but if you want something extra special, enjoy these cannabis cinnamon buns this weekend!

This recipe give you a chance to spices since you don’t have to use strictly cinnamon; adding other zippy spices to the mix like ginger, clove, lemon, and cardamom make things more interesting. Copious amounts of butter and sugar and THC are all supporting roles for some of the best buns around.

Canna-Cinnamon Buns

Smitten Kitchen 2009, with amendments
Makes 15 buns, 4mg THC per bun estimated

Dough

¼ cup half and half
¾ cup warm water
3 Tablespoons cannabutter*
3 ½ cups flour
½ cup sugar
1 large egg
2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt

Filling

¾ cup demerara sugar
½ stick unsalted butter, softened
3 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon clove
½ teaspoon cardamom
½ teaspoon nutmeg
Pinch of salt

To create the dough, mix in a stand mixer or bread machine until you have a very wet looking blob. A bread machine will do the rising for you, but if you’re not taking that approach, dispense into a well oiled bowl and cover with oiled plastic wrap, allow to rise for at least an hour. It should triple in size and now be a giant fluffy cloud of goodness.

Plop the dough on a floured surface and roll into a sheet. Spread room temperature butter over the sheet, then add all of your delicious spices and sugar.

Roll this sheet into a log, then cut it with a sharp or serrated knife into about 15 slices. Arrange the slices in a square metal or glass baking dish that has been generously greased, then allow to rise again for 45 minutes to an hour.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees when you’re ⅔ of the way through the second rise.

Pop in your pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, keeping close watch.

They will bake up rather quickly so if your oven runs hot drop the temp to 350 degrees. Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before digging in.

*Cannabutter

Decarboxylate 3.5g of finely ground cannabis at 225 degrees for 20 minutes in a tightly sealed, oven-safe container. Put cannabis in lidded mason jar or vacuum sealed bag with cannabis and one stick of butter. Heat in water bath just under boiling for at least 1 hour. Strain and chill to use in recipes.

Now for the fun part: spices like cinnamon and cardamom can actually help you get more high from a single dose of THC. The same flavors in those spices are the terpenes that make a cannabis strain have different effects, like myrcene. Play with the ratios and you can change the effects, but it’s all still going to taste like that yummy cinnamon that makes firm memories every time you fill up the house with their delightful presence. Try sealing some up individually and freezing, then you can have a single serving, medicated breakfast anytime!

Positive Signs For NY Legal Marijuana

The cannabis industry is on edge right now – but New York is showing some positive signs.

The cannabis industry is on edge as it waits to see how the federal government acts. On one side is the slow moving Biden/Harris administration and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) slow walking rescheduling. The DEA is having to wade through overwhelming positive support for fellow agencies and the general public. On the other side, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has allowed groups from his party to protest and try to stop the process and issuing statements on the dangers of marijuana. Coupled with a mess in California and a significant drop in investment in the industry as everyone waits the outcome, things are tough. But there are positive signs for NY legal marijuana.

New York was one track to be the biggest single market perhaps in the word in the when they approved recreational marijuana. But a last minute major overhaul of the process a few weeks before it rolled out ended in a massive chaos. January 2023 launch the first legal store, but at year end there were roughly 25 legal dispensaries and ultimately 2,800 illicit ones in the Empire State. While consumers may or may not have known or cared about the legality of where they shopped, they should. The products in the stores are unregulated, which is a strong health issue as ingredients and dosage could vary significantly.

Wana Brands is the largest gummy company in the industry. They are in 20 states, Canada and Puerto Rico and are backed by Canopy and the alcohol giant Constellation Brands. Highly respected, they are the most mainstream major product company in the industry. Entering the New York Market, is a sign things are starting to normalize. NY has closed over 800 illicit stores and is working toward 200 legal ones.

Joe Hodas, President of Wana shared “Wana’s entry in the New York market has been a move that’s been in the works for quite some time. We’ve already established a strong presence in over 20 stores, including The Travel Agency and Housing Works. Orders are rolling in and more locations will be coming online soon. While our initial focus is on the New York City area, we’re working on expansion into upstate as well. We believe New York will be one of the most important states on the map for us and we are excited to get more products into the hands of New Yorkers and all those who visit from around the world.”

When asked about why enter the NY market now, Hodas responded.

“Entering the New York market for us was all about timing. In the past, the prevalence of illicit stores in the city made it a challenging environment for a brand like ours. But during my recent visits, I noticed a shift—there’s now a more robust network of regulated, legal stores. We felt it was finally the right moment for Wana Brands to bring our products to New Yorkers. We couldn’t have made this move without our partner, urbanXtracts. Their state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and shared commitment to quality have made this launch possible and we’re excited to see what the future will bring.”

“The Travel Agency is thrilled to partner with Wana in this vibrant New York cannabis market, that we’ve helped grow since its launch. Wana is also one of this industry’s pioneers, building their business through consistent products and the exploration of new formats and flavors. We look forward to collaborating with Wana in providing New Yorkers with safe, high-quality cannabis experience.” stated Paul Yau, The Travel Agency, Co-Founder and CEO. One of the larger, legal dispensary brand in NYC.

Online Dating, Gen Z, Marijuana And More

Online Dating, Gen Z, Marijuana And More

Online dating is still a thing, but it is changing all the time…and being 4/20 friendly has an additional look.

Online dating is here to stay, sort of, maybe. A significant portion of both the US and Canada use online dating with success. And like most mass media things, it has involved with the culture. Grinder, long known as the gay hook up site paved the pathway for Tinder, known as a straight hook up site. Match.com, the largest dating app, has few filters and allows people to date who they want – gay, straight, different states, ethnicities and streaming habits.

But for all the benefits, Gen Z is upending it again. Gen Z is moving away from dating apps and meeting people in real life. And learning it definitely different meeting someone face to face instead of gram to gram. Studies show the most popular user of dating apps are between the ages of 30 and 49, mostly millennial, make up 61% of dating app users, whereas Gen-Z comes in at only 26%.

This generation are into grandma’s china, vinyl, home cooking and vintage clothes. But they are also inclusive with 41% wanting clothing retailers to offer more inclusive sizes a range of body types in advertising. And they have a whole different take on marijuana.

Boomers tend to see marijuana in a skeptical eye. While more are starting to be open to it, it is more of a novel than say beer, wine or gardening. Gen Z sees marijuana as a better option than booze. They have started drifting away from alcohol and embracing weed. Especially in smaller groups. With vapes and gummies being more on the go, minimum odor and more discreet, it is the sound solution. A portion of Gen Z helped make California Sober a thing, which is when you just use marijuana and give up alcohol.

Match.com was the first dating site to add 4/20 friendly in November of 2019. Now it is on most mainstream sites and Gen Z sees it more like asking if you like craft cocktails. They are also are more open to a wider variety of people for short and longer term relationships.

As Gen-Z open their minds and heart with in-person dating, they are experiencing what previous generations have long endured. They cite fear of rejection and being cringe amongst their top concerns for being online. Older generations have more experience with the discomfort of dating rejection both online and in person. Experience helps frame the rejection and rebound more easily after an awkward encounter, rather than internalizing it as “cringe” which can’t be overcome.

What Is A Situationship Relationship

Relationships really started changing in the 70s. So what is a situationship and are you in one?

The dating world started changing in the 1970s with free love, open relationships and everything else. Unlike Europe, most American have been more prudish and defining on how people connect. While more hard driving than their across the pond counterparts, Americans clam up when it comes to personal matters. Now a new thing has popped up, what is a situationship relationship and are you in one?

The last 20 years have been a wild ride for dating. Online dating, open relationships, Ashley Madison, gay marriage, group dating in school, and more. At least on the coasts you can meet people who have broken up at least a couple of times with each gender. Online dating has become the norm with over 17 percent of the population online dating services in 2023. Which means almost 60 million people are looking for something. Also, their is still a fear of being single which may be due in part to stigma of culture with people viewing single adults more negatively. As the become more of a melting pot, Indians, Asians and other cultures put big pressure on early traditional marriages. People who fear being single are more likely to settle for less in their relationship and trade one problem for another.

Situationships are characterized by a lack of obligation or exclusivity, but thel hallmark is a lack of clear boundaries or labels. There are elements of friendship and romance, but they exist without defining the relationship. So, essentially, you have many of the benefits of a traditional relationship without having to make a commitment. Friends know something is going on and you might spend key moments together, birthday, holidays, when one is sick. But it is not clearly defined.

Situationships provides a sense of connection experienced in a standard-issue relationship coupled with the the independence with being single. But the downside, since you are in a grey area, it makes it harder to move forward or call it over. Ambiguity takes a toll on your mental health, especially when looking at the future.

Signs you may be in a situationship include:

You don’t put a label on your relationship
You don’t make long-term plans
You aren’t exclusive

Around 3 in 5 have been in this type of relationship at one point as it can fill needs of the moment. But long term, it can take a toll on the chance for a more satisfying relationship.

Governor Tim Walz And Marijuana

The Governor will have an impact on federal cannabis policy – so where does he stand?

Minnesota Governor Walz leapt into the national spotlight today to be the Vice Presidential candidate in the race toward Election Day. With the Democratic Party upended by the stepping aside of Biden, Walz will be the new vice president contender and a leader in policy decisions. He has a warm, folksy attitude, but what about Governor Tim Walz and marijuana?

The cannabis industry is eagerly awaiting the outcome of rescheduling. It will be a key federal change for the industry. While consumers are embracing marijuana for both medical and recreational use, the industry is struggling. The mainly mom and pop businesses have had to fight the black market a variety of types of difficult regulations and zero tax benefits. The federal government is close to rescheduling and the new president will oversee the next steps with cannabis.

Minnesota state legislature voted to legalize weed and Walz was a supporter. As usual, there was significant back and forth and concessions made, but recreational passed in the summer of 2023. But, as usual, the process of implementation takes longer and the first dispensaries are open. Currently, the state has 17 open and continues to expand.

Walz spent 24 years in the Army National Guard, retiring as a command sergeant major. He was the highest-ranking enlisted soldier to serve in Congress when he joined the House in 2007. This should make him an ally of medical marijuana treatment for Veterans, especially around the treatment of PTSD.

There has been one hiccup, Walz appointed a hemp shop owner to be the state’s top cannabis regulator. The next day, they had to step down from the role after the Star Tribune reported the dispensary had sold illegal products and had federal tax liens and judgments against her. Minnesota’s nonpartisan government watchdog the Office of the Legislative Auditor later found the governor’s office missed some standard background check steps before the appointment.

Walz also seems to have some appeal for younger voters, which is critical for cannabis since Gen Z is drifting from alcohol and embracing marijuana more.
