December is often framed as a season of joy — but neurologically, it’s one of the most demanding months of the year. Shorter days, heightened social obligations, end-of-year deadlines, financial pressure, and constant stimulation can push the nervous system into a prolonged state of alert. Slowness isn’t indulgent. It’s biological maintenance. Modern neuroscience shows that […]
It’s harvest season – a moment to gather what’s grown, let go of what’s not, and step into the darker months with purpose.
Creativity has often been portrayed as chaotic. The all-nighter, bursts of genius, the messy muse. But what if creativity is actually a state of presence, a type of rhythm we can return to when our mind, body, and energy align.
The hemp industry is facing the most significant federal threat since the 2018 Farm Bill. In late 2025, Congress passed — and the President signed — a federal funding bill (H.R. 5371) that rewrites the definition of hemp nationwide.
It’s harvest season – a moment to gather what’s grown, let go of what’s not, and step into the darker months with purpose.
There’s a quiet revolution happening at happy hour, and it’s not about ordering another round. More than ever, people are questioning their relationship with alcohol. Whether it’s about health, anxiety, productivity, sleep, or simply not loving the morning-after regret, the “sober curious” movement is growing rapidly. But here’s the thing: going alcohol-free doesn’t mean giving […]
Minnesotans are seeing green, and the new law legalizing pot has made an immediate impact on the accessibility and popularity of beverages with THC, the key ingredient from hemp and cannabis that gets someone high.
The earliest Egyptian references to the healing properties of the plant are found in the fragments of an almost 4000 year old scroll of medical instructions, known to scholars as the Papyrus Ramesseum III.
1300 years ago, the seafaring raiders, traders and explorers from Denmark, Norway and Sweden collectively known as Vikings began to sweep across Europe, the Mediterranean, North America and even the Middle East. This period of furious activity is known as “the Viking age”.
We never use synthetic alternatives like chemically-modified Delta-8-THC. Accept no substitutes for nature!
THC is the primary psychoactive compound that the plant produces. It is not yet known how the cannabis plant managed to so perfectly mimic and exploit our internal chemistry. Some researchers refer to the synergy between humans and THC as a “happy accident” (with an emphasis on “happy”).
In fact, one of these places where cannabinoids can be found is in a whole different form of life from humans and plants– a fungus, and in this case the black truffle.
These compounds are generally known as terpenes, and they are found throughout the plant kingdom.
This idea was first put forward by Dr. Richard Evans Schultes, who called the plant, “one of [humanity’s] oldest domesticates, dating back back nearly to the beginning of agriculture.”
