Michelle Obama Posts Inspirational Gym Photo; Miley Cyrus Implies Liam Hemsworth Is Not A Good Person On Instagram Video

The former First Lady of the United States took to Instagram on Sunday to give her followers peek into her fitness routine and encouraged all 33 million of them to practice self-care.

“It doesn’t always feel good in the moment. But after the fact, I’m always glad I hit the gym,” Obama captioned a photo of herself wearing a two-piece black workout set and hat while lifting a medicine ball over her head. “How did you all take care of yourself on this #SelfCareSunday?”

Her followers flooded the comments with words of encouragement and told her that she inspired them to also get moving.

“That’s what a woman should look like, nothing fake and inflated!” one person declared, while others told her to “keep up the good work” and deemed her a “beautiful example” for all.

Obama has long been an advocate for living healthy and staying fit, launching the Let’s Move campaign, an initiative aimed at raising a “healthier generation of kids” during her husband, Barack’s, two terms as president.

During her time living in the White House and traveling on campaign trails with her husband, the 55-year-old “Becoming” author also became a style icon, with her toned arms generating envy across the country and inspiring women to try to emulate her physique.

“THE arms have taken on a life of their own. They have provoked controversy, envy, a bit of backlash, even bad puns about the right to bare them,” the New York Times wrote in 2009. “In recent months, the first lady has bared her toned biceps, triceps and shoulders at the Inaugural Ball, on the covers of Vogue and People, at her husband’s first televised address to Congress and in her official White House photograph. She does not have Madonna’s sinewy muscles popping out of paper-thin skin. Nor, with her solid 5-foot-11 frame, does Mrs. Obama, who is 45, have a typical runway model body. That makes her image even more admirable to many women, and perhaps even attainable.”

It doesn’t seem like Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth parted on good terms after all.

The “Malibu” musician held a Q&A with fans on her Instagram Stories Sunday night (October 20) with new “boo thing” Cody Simpson, and she had some interesting things to say about her experiences with men and how it influenced her sexuality. In the clip, she tells Smilers: “There are good men out there, guys, don’t give up. You don’t have to be gay, there are good people with d—ks out there, you’ve just got to find them. You’ve got to find a d—k that’s not a d—k, you know.”

Cyrus, who openly identifies as pansexual, then added: “I always thought I had to be gay, because I thought all guys were evil, but it’s not true. There are good people out there that just happen to have d—ks. I’ve only ever met one, and he’s on this live.”

While the “Don’t Call Me Angel” songbird doesn’t name-drop anybody specific, it was evident to most fans that she was implying, in so many words, estranged husband Hemsworth wasn’t really a good person.

As fans know, Cyrus and Hemsworth are currently going through a divorce, as the Australian actor filed paperwork to end his marriage shortly after the couple separated in August. The pair had been together for 10 years before tying the knot in December 2018, and lasted only eight months before deciding to pull the plug on their union over “irreconcilable differences.”

Cyrus quickly rebounded with reality star Kaitlynn Carter for a little over a month before they stars split in September. These days, the recording artist has casually claimed Simpson as her new boyfriend. Hemsworth, on the other hand, has been seeing actress Maddison Brown, with whom the Hunger Games alum was spotted holding hands a few weeks ago.

4 Ways To Make The Internet Less Depressing

The internet can be a time consuming and stressful place. Here are some tips that can help you make it better.

There’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, which makes the internet less escapist and fun than it used to. Stressful politics, global warming, fake news and having constant access to other people’s lives can make the whole experience a bit stressful and sad.

Although the internet and the development of technology is constantly changing and reshaping the way we see the world, there’s still a lot of great stuff online, it’s just much harder to find nowadays. Here are four things you can do to make your internet experience a more positive one:

Update your following list

Most of our social media profiles have been around for years now, evolving in look and software, but kind of staying the same in how we use it. If you’re not the type of person who regularly checks who they follow, this means that you could still follow accounts that no longer matter or provide you with anything important. Go through the accounts you follow and get rid of any that don’t inform you or make you happy.

Have a local POV

The internet is completely global, something that is amazing and makes the world feel smaller, like we’re all closer together. Still, sometimes it’s cool to focus on the area you live in. This local point of view is also helpful if you’re feeling overwhelmed. While it’s great to remain informed about the happenings of the world, sometimes we just need a break. Go take a photo of that neighborhood bistro you love so much. Promoting your local businesses helps them in the long run, too!

Enjoy it in moderation

As with everything, the internet is best enjoyed in moderation. Give yourself time to disconnect and to avoid your email and social media notifications. Gaining some distance and perspective might reboot your relationship with the internet and allow you to enjoy everything more.

Why Marijuana Is Still Illegal In Russia And Ukraine

Why Marijuana Is Still Illegal In Russia And Ukraine

Given the prevalence of alcohol in both Russia and Ukraine, marijuana is still taboo and very illegal in both countries. Here’s why.

Russians, along with other Eastern Europeans such as Ukrainians, have a global reputation for being heavy drinkers. Russia is also known as the birthplace of a flesh-eating drug known as krokodil (“crocodile), or desomorphine, a synthetic opiate more powerful than heroin. Given the prevalence of alcohol and opiates, it may be surprising that marijuana still remains taboo and illegal in Mother Russia.

Ukraine was poised to begin a medical marijuana program, but the process now appears to have hit a wall, with the newly elected president and former comedian Volodymyr Zelenskyy now suggesting the cannabis plant be studied further and implementation delayed.

Cannabis possession of under 6 grams of cannabis is a minor infraction in Russia, while penalties for distribution or for possession of amounts greater than 6 grams carry prison terms. Marijuana is more difficult to find than in nearby Western Europe, but “spice,” or synthetic cannabis, is more widespread in the country, and it’s cheaper. Anecdotal stories of dealers selling shake laced with spice exist online, but the veracity is difficult to confirm, and marijuana consumption continues to be a taboo subject of discussion.

Small personal amounts of cannabis, up to 5 grams, is a minor offense subject to a small fine in Ukraine. Cannabis is generally seen as a bad drug, but its popularity is growing among young people. Cannabis users caught by the police with cannabis frequently bribe officers an amount similar to the fine to avoid the legal system, according to personal accounts from locals, ex-pats, and tourists.

Ukraine had appeared to be ready to legalize cannabis for medicinal purposes, with support from Parliament and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as recently as this summer. However, Zelenskyy has stated that the country has other priorities, the risks need to be better understood, and that supporters of medical cannabis “will put up with waiting.”

Among former members of the Soviet Union, Georgia is the only nation that has legalized marijuana consumption, although cultivation and distribution remain illegal. Former Soviet Republics adjacent to Western Europe, such as Estonia and Latvia, have relaxed penalties for possession in small amounts. Cannabis remains illegal throughout most of Central Asia. In nations such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan cannabis grows wild, and has long ties in the region’s cultures, often used for medicine or hemp fiber, and marijuana laws are largely unenforced.

Study: Patients Stopped Using Benzodiazepines Once They Began Consuming Medical Cannabis

New study continues to support medical marijuana as a healthier option over other types of addictive medications.

A new study found that nearly half of patients using benzodiazepines stopped once they started taking medical marijuana. Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed to treat anxiety, epilepsy and other diseases, and are known for producing some long term side effects and increasing the risk of addiction.

These findings were conducted by researchers in Canada and published in the journal of Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research. These scientists conducted a thorough retrospective analysis of data from patients from the Canabo Medical Clinic. Here they found records of 146 patients who regularly consumed benzodiazepines prior to their cannabis treatment.

“Within a cohort of 146 patients initiated on medical cannabis therapy, 45.2% patients successfully discontinued their pre-existing benzodiazepine therapy,” the study found. “This observation merits further investigation into the risks and benefits of the therapeutic use of medical cannabis and its role relating to benzodiazepine use.”

The study reveals that 30% of patients stopped using benzodiazepines after their first follow-up visit with their medical cannabis provider. More followed until, by the end of the review, 66 patients had stopped taking benzodiazepines, replacing the medication with a medical form of cannabis.

While the study continues to add more support for the marijuana plant as a possible replacement for other drugs, there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered. The findings make no distinction between CBD, THC, or the strain that was used in patients, making it tough for people to apply these findings in a real world setting.

“We are advising the public to observe caution,” said lead author Chad Purcell. “The results do not suggest that cannabis should be used an alternative to conventional therapies. Our purpose is inspiring others to advance current cannabis understanding as we collect stronger efficacy and safety data that will lead to responsible policy and recommended practices for use.”

First Year Hemp Growers Struggle To Reach Profitability

First Year Hemp Growers Struggle To Reach Profitability

For the first time in more than eight decades, farmers in most parts of the country have the freedom to make hemp part of their plow and pick repertoire.

It has been said for years that the legalization of industrial hemp production in the United States would breathe new life into agriculture, giving the American farmer the benefit of a genuine cash crop. Well, the 2018 Farm Bill, which was signed late last year by President Trump, came out of nowhere to do just that.

Now, for the first time in more than eight decades, farmers in most parts of the country have the freedom to make hemp part of their plow and pick repertoire. It is a business sector that is predicted to reach well over $2 billion within the next two years. However, there is a learning curve involved that is making it difficult for hemp growers to find profitability right out of the gate.

In the Midwest, where hemp farmers are harvesting this crop for the first time since World War II, delayed planting efforts and heavy spring rain has created a situation where the harvest is a bit lackluster, to say the least. Indiana farmer Mark Boyer, who planted 50 acres of hemp to be used for high-quality food oil, told the South Bend Tribune that late planting caused a variety of issues, including puny yields.

“The plants didn’t get as tall,” he said, “they never canopied and that created weed problems.”

Another major difficulty that many hemp farmers are facing is theft. Perhaps thinking that they are stealing its intoxicating cousin marijuana, thieves are sneaking into hemp fields and taking tens of thousands of dollars of product. And while theft might sound like the price of doing business, it is a problem that could cripple those farmers that have entered the hemp game to keep afloat. Because these heists are not just happening on occasion, it is something that goes down regularly.

“You feel violated that people come here and steal from you when you’re trying to help a new industry get started that can help a lot of people,” New York hemp farmer Dale Weed told The Times of Wayne County. “It’s alarming, the fact with no theft in 17 years, and now I’m being robbed every night.”

Ramping up security and increasing foot patrols is just another expense that hemp farmers must endure. But for Weed and other farmers who cannot afford to drop beaucoup bucks on round the clock watchdogs it is up to family and friends to make up the shifts when there are no hired guns available.

“We’ve been trying to hire employees and outside people,” Weed said. “My family has spent quite a few nights here watching the property. I’ve spent nights here where I’m sleep deprived. It’s a big problem for us.”

There is hope that these growing pains will subside in time. And if they do, it will surely be worth the initial hassle. A recent study shows that hemp farmers stand to earn in upwards of $50,000 per acre from hemp. In contrast, an acre of corn brings right around $1,000 per acre. But farmers are going to have to work for that money. In addition to poor growing conditions and theft, farmers still do not have the proper tools to handle industrial hemp throughout the entire growing process. For many, this means trying to grow without approved pesticides and harvesting by hand.

Duchess Kate Shares Personal Message For First Time On Instagram; Jenna Dewan Learned Of Channing Tatum & Jessie J Relationship Online

Kate Middleton takes to Instagram to write a personal note regarding a charity she and Prince William visited during their trip to Pakistan; Jenna Dewan said she felt “blindsided” by news that Tatum had started a new relationship.

Kate Middleton Shares a Personal Message for the First Time on Instagram

Via People:

Kate Middleton shared a personal note on the official Kensington Palace Instagram for the very first time on Saturday — informing followers about the work of a special charity she and Prince William visited during their trip to Pakistan.

“The community at the SOS Village is built around family — and the best possible family you could imagine — where everyone comes together to nurture, love and protect the children in their care,” Kate, 37, wrote. “These vulnerable children, many who have come through traumatic circumstances, are nurtured in this caring environment and are able to form these quality relationships that they so desperately need to thrive.”

The royal then signed off with a simple “Catherine.”

Jenna Dewan Found Out About Channing Tatum & Jessie J With The Rest Of Us

Via iHeart Radio:

In her new book, Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day, Jenna Dewan finally opened up about her split from Channing Tatum and was candid about the moment she found out he was dating Jessie J.

As it turns out, the 38-year-old learned about the new couple along with the rest of us as it was being reported online. “I was learning things about my ex most people wouldn’t have to face – and over the Internet, as it was happening,” she wrote. “There I was, on a plane, alone, finding out about his new relationship.”

The actress and dancer admitted that she felt “blindsided” by the news that Tatum had started a new relationship with the singer. “Choosing grace as I learned everything about my personal situation along with the rest of the world was really difficult.”

Dewan and Tatum split in April 2018 and she posted a note to her fans on Instagram explaining they would be separating after nine years of marriage. That October, the pair filed for divorce. It was that same month that Tatum and Jessie J began going public with their relationship and Dewan went public with her new beau, Steve Kazee.

Thankfully, Dewan has moved on from her previous marriage and doing phenomenal. Just this September announced the incredible news that she is expecting her first child with Kazee! Their bundle of joy will join Dewan’s six-year-old daughter Everly, whom she shares with Tatum. “As soon as she found out, she started crying, like, ‘This is the best day of my life,’” Dewan said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Dewan’s book is out Tuesday, October 22.

The Skinny On The Weed Vans

Vacationers looking to get high, even where cannabis is legal, should expect buying marijuana to be a bit more involved than a curbside transaction outside some tourist trap.

For the past several years, curiously decorated trucks, vans, and RVs, adorned with marijuana leaves and red-eyed cartoon characters have been popping up in touristy areas of big cities, such as NYC, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. These trucks sell baked goods, leading buyers to assume they contain THC, or sometimes CBD. In nearly all cases, neither compound is prevalent. These trucks operate in a nexus of indifference, free speech, and naive out-of-towners.

Many of these vehicles belong to Weed World Candies, a company started in New York City in 1999, and whose aim, according to their website, is marijuana and hemp legalization advocacy. Officially, the company says that their confections and baked goods do not contain THC and complies with all laws. Nowhere on the website does it say their products contain CBD, although customers have reported being told otherwise, and in at least one instance, a spokesperson for the company said their products contain CBD.

Under most circumstances, selling fake drugs is also a crime, but policing tourist areas means looking out for a multitude of crimes, and stopping a van from selling bunk edibles to gullible tourists is likely far down the list of offenses given priority.

How is the fake edible business lucrative enough to endure 20 years? Likely for the same reasons all hustles aimed at tourists still thrive: Many travelers are looking for new experiences and are more likely to take chances. The fake edibles are priced from $5 to $20, a paltry sum compared to what many tourists spend a day on some vacations. Alcohol might also play a factor, giving tipsy tourists enough nerve to buy a pot brownie should the opportunity present itself.

Vacationers looking to get high, even where cannabis is legal, should expect buying marijuana to be a bit more involved than a curbside transaction outside some tourist trap. Tokers on a trip should at a minimum do some research on how to purchase legal weed at their destination, or enlist friendly locals. Finally, if something sounds too good to be true, like being able to buy magic brownies out of a van, then it probably is.

Can Marijuana Ease Motion Sickness?

Side effects and personal choice give marijuana the ability to offer a unique solution, especially with hemp-related CBD oil.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine states that not only is motion sickness prevalent, but that 1 in 3 individuals could be susceptible to the nausea and dizziness that comes with a long car ride or intense rollercoaster.

Understanding motion sickness

Often described as feeling “unwell” and accompanied by nausea and dizziness, individuals who experience motion sickness often describe “feeling out of breath” as well as having sweaty palms or a “clammy” sensation to their skin or appearance. Often triggered by intense motion such as rollercoasters or rides, motion sickness can also happen while merely being a passenger in a car, leaving the individual disorientated.

Marijuana as an anti-nausea agent

We know that cannabis has been studied extensively for its effects on nausea. In fact, Harold Kalant, MD, Ph.D., and Amy J. Porath-Waller, found the following in a 2012 report:

“There is sound evidence from animal experiments and well-designed clinical trials involving humans that cannabis and cannabinoids are effective for the relief of nausea/vomiting and certain types of pain, as well as for the stimulation of appetite.”

The report goes on to explain that as with any pharmaceutical solution, side effects and personal choice give marijuana the ability to offer a unique solution, especially with hemp-related CBD oil. We know CBD activates cannabinoid receptors and can lessen nausea by reducing the chemical that triggers nausea from being released.

In fact, the National Cancer Institute cites that medications with cannabinoids are FDA-approved for nausea and vomiting.

So, how can you prepare for a road trip (or rollercoaster) with CBD? It’s important to understand that while CBD isn’t yet legal in all fifty states, many manufacturers are pushing it as a solution for many ailments, causing confusion. While CBD has been studied to have positive effects on nausea, current regulations make it difficult for specific studies of CBD on motion sickness to be approved. It’s best to discuss troublesome motion sickness with your care team, bringing up CBD to see what they think. Being an advocate for your health is one of your most powerful assets- in any vehicle.

Op-Ed: California’s Thriving Illicit Market Leading To More Crime

When it comes to participating in the legal market, many are willing to trade in the peace and love of the plant for criminal activity and potentially life-threatening situations.

Guest opinion piece by Todd Kleperis, CEO of Hardcar.

Many people within the cannabis industry operate on the assumption that it’s safe to move cannabis products and cash within states; after all, peace and love are all that the plant is about, right?

As an established cannabis security professional who has been operating in California since before legalization with my cannabis security company, HARDCAR, I can confidently confirm that when it comes to participating in the legal market, many are willing to trade in the peace and love of the plant for criminal activity and potentially life-threatening situations.

I hate to say it, but the California cannabis industry is slowly killing itself and has the potential to literally endanger lives as a result of this loss of a promised regulated system that intended to keep cannabis clean of criminal activities.

Pushing Cannabis Back into the Shadows

With a recent contraction of hundreds of cannabis licenses, California could be getting itself into is a situation that threatens the security and safety of those moving cannabis, and cannabis cash, across the state.

Last month, it was announced that there had been a significant license contraction for cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers in the state. There was a 48% drop in active cultivation permits and a 29% drop in licensed manufacturers, according to statistics offered by Marijuana Business Daily. This loss in licenses for cannabis was because those who had been approved for temporary licenses for cannabis-related operations (that expired earlier this year) couldn’t meet the regulatory requirements for obtaining provisional and annual permits.

More importantly, there is a significant barrier to entry, both financially, and in terms of compliance, to the legal cannabis market in the state that once held such promise for cannabis. Those who once had a hope of moving from grey to legal are left to consider going back into the shadows, rigorously pursuing the investors needed to build capital for licensing, or give up altogether.

The Bureau of Cannabis Control has done what it can to regulate a ferociously growing market, yet the job just proved to be too tremendous to regulate cannabis on such a large scale. No matter who is at fault for where we’re finding ourselves now, the State of California has deprived good human beings of the ability to provide reliable and convenient products to their established clients with these barriers for entry that make participating in the legal market a no-go.

Is Cannabis in California Safe at All?

Those who operate in the grey market of cannabis are forced to do business within the shadows, but unfortunately many aren’t taking the necessary precautions to protect their safety while moving cannabis and cannabis cash. We’ve heard of, and even seen, cars with cannabis leaves peaking out of the trunk in an effort to transport the crop. People are transporting thousands of dollars of cannabis cash across cities, even the state, with no protection or precautions to protect the employee against being robbed.

Licensed growers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are even putting themselves at risk with a lack of security on cash, product, and people. Despite the ideals that cannabis-related crime would begin to fall with the legalization of cannabis, people are still facing gun-related violence in California over cannabis. “People are getting shot over this plant,” said Ben Filippini, a deputy sheriff in Humboldt County said to The Atlantic, “All legalization did here was to create a safe haven for criminals.” In Humboldt County, the largest cannabis-producing region of the United States, 717 per 1 million people go missing each year.

Across the state, delivery drivers, who can carry up to $10,000 in cash, are being robbed by criminals eager to take what the legal market has. To carry cannabis and cash without protection is just sheer lunacy. Shame on anyone involved in cannabis who will willingly put their people in harm’s way for a profit.

Despite efforts to keep gangs and drug cartels out of the legal markets, it is speculated that those involved in organized crime are heading from prohibitionist states in the east to west to use California’s legal cannabis to feed illicit markets.

While the headlines may feed us contradictory statements on the connection between cannabis and crime rates, we can’t deny that crime within cannabis still exists and persists. People want what licensed cannabis can provide and produce, and are willing to go to any lengths to get it.

Simply put, the California cannabis industry is killing itself and endangering what’s left of it by its own lack of foresight towards its own regulations towards safety and security right after they got out of the gates.

Whether they like it or not cannabis will continue to be bought and sold in the Golden State and regulators will just lose their hold on a large portion of what could have been a tremendously large regulated market.

Protecting What We Have Together

The regulated cannabis market in California has come too far to endanger what we’ve built.

HARDCAR was built from the ground up to protect the cash, product, and most importantly the people of cannabis to ensure the safety of California’s legal cannabis while setting a standard for the state to strive to as far as enforced safety and security compliance.

Our efforts have come from recognizing that cannabis can be dangerous and will continue to be if we don’t get the safety of cannabis under check now before more lives are unnecessarily lost.

California and other states can work to develop the intelligence to recognize cannabis crime and put in the security measures to ensure it no longer persists. Just recently, we have uncovered one firm out of Colorado that carries up to half a million dollars in cash at a time, without any protection, and as expected, they have a target on their head. As a community around cannabis, we need to work together to intervene in these criminal activities before they have a chance of coming to fruition.

Catching the cannabis industry before it becomes victim to crime starts with lessening the barriers to entry to receiving a cannabis license to allow people to operate legally, while also taking the proper security measures to ensure that cannabis product, cash, and people are safe.

Dogs Of Instagram: The Poodle

While often stereotyped as a “sissy”, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Poodles are amazingly smart, easily trained and incredibly athletic.

Comedian Rita Rudner once pondered if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult. That’s because they’re often groomed spectacularly eccentric. If not in a cult, these poodles are surely doing something different, especially those in the dog shows groomed with what is called the “Continental Clip“.

The poodle comes in three varieties: Toy poodles are the smallest, followed by miniature poodles and standard poodles, which are the tallest. While often stereotyped as a “sissy”, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Poodles are amazingly smart, easily trained and incredibly athletic. There is nothing cowardly about this breed.

Here, we play into the stereotype with five of the most eccentric poodles of Instagram.
