The network shows leaped on a second anonymous woman claiming Herschel Walker paid for her abortion. It's a weird take, since they love abortions and don't think they're scandalous, unless a Republican pays for one. The media simply hate minority Republicans, who can't truly be minorities unless they're fully Democrat.

Chapter NineThe sun came through the mists above but only in brief bursts as Tappert, wrapping himself in a nice thick Wickshire scarf he'd acquired the previous year for just a few coin, ran down the steep hill from the Old Abbey grounds that were Saltblocke Farm atop the hill and under the great oak. But the clearing mist and bursts of wan early spring sunshine were only due to the fact that the hill was a slightly higher elevation than the surrounding countryside and so quickly, before Tappert reached the twisting roads and bottoms of the lands, he was once again running off through the thick mist, suddenly enveloped in the dense quiet it always made at this time of the morning, hearing nothing but the strike of his boots, the crunch of the road rock, and the gasping of his breath as he tried to keep his coffee and bacon down.“Bother,” he gasped, and burped since no one was around. “This is no way to start a proper morning of breakfasting.”Which was a very bobbin thing to say as breakfasting had sort of an event level statues to itTappert rushed on through the gloom and pushed away thoughts of frying eggs sizzling in rich butter, more perfectly cooked bacon, and perhaps even a dense and sweet lavender scone with one nice full pot of black coffee to see it all along and call proper breakfasting done and done. But none of this was going to happen and so he ran toward the crossroads, intent on the desperate errand he was about and perhaps bargaining that some sort of emergency breakfast could still be had if things went off quicker than they were looking.But it never does go that way,does it?And yet, despite all this, there were other darker thoughts to push away as Tappert ran for the wise man, Sorley Barters, who made his small residence in an underhill along the small hamlet all Littles called the Acres.Things… moved… out there in the swirling mists.Morning mist, even on one so fine,or so the morning promising seemed, still clutched at the shadows of the night out there in its grasp. And it was easy, after the events of last night, for Tappert to darkly imagine that near the edges of his vision, among the mists and fogs clinging to the dense bushes and deeper growth of the oaks and other trees between the fields and small hills of the district, in the shadows below the tall draping trees, that there were unnatural dark shadows out there. And it was easy, after the events of last night, for Tappert to darkly imagine that near the edges of his vision, among the mists and fogs clinging to the dense bushes and deeper growth of the oaks and other trees between the fields and small hills of the district, in the shadows below the tall draping trees, that there were unnatural dark shadows out there. Goblin small and seeming, and off, moving, and always there at the next twist or turn heading toward the crossroads, only to disappear as Tappert continued closer.And hadn't the strange man said something about being beset upon by goblins?Just then something moved too quickly near one of those dark shapes beneath the tall oaks and Tappert stopped suddenly, wishing he'd brought along his sturdy walking stick, as he studied the land. Perhaps if it were a beast, he could drive it off, he thought.But, Tappert had that peculiar sense this was not just some beast out too late after morning rise. Some natural predators out too late hunting, or just one of the stray dogs that plagued the flocks throughout the day. Or p'raps even a wolf come down out of the high places to hunt little children playing beyond the call and care of their parents and good dogs. No, this was not those natural things. There, standing stock still and watching the swirling mists off to the side of the road, Tappert had the distinct impression he was dealing with something out there in the mists, following parallel to his course, other than just a beast out hunting.Of course, despite their stature, bobbin are quite adept in dealing with beasts. So Tappert was not afraid but not curious. Just… cautious.This… was different. Felt different. Was… different.Other perhaps.We shall, if we continue this tale, need to discuss the meaning of other. Especially with respect to the little known yet very remarkable bobbin. But now is not the time for meanings and a deep discussion of Other. So, please remind me if I forget.Tappert began to walk slowly now, reasoning that if it were a beast of some sort then it was best to move slowly as a predator would perceive prey as running and try to take it from behind.And that would not do the stabbed man a bit of good at this dire moment.Bobbin have a thing about strangers of the road dying in their halls and care. And so, Tappert was intent on avoiding that whole mess.In the mist and fog, all Tappert could hear out there were the sounds of his own boots against the rough rock of the well-maintained road. Nothing else. Not even his breathing which he'd made very quiet. He was nearing the crossroads where he would turn and take the road up to the Acres and Sorely Barters, when his heart stopped and he saw, ahead on the road, some type of looming… skeleton, or even a pit demon perhaps, it was so tall, maybe even a giant and drooling warewoof come in to feed.Bobbin hate warewoofs and are convinced these creatures lie at the source of all their troubles. Their fireside tales will, invariably, involve the accusations of a warewoofbeing involved.But it was not this, or any of those things, and especially most of all a warewoof thankfully. It was in fact, merely the crossroads lamppost still lit in the dense fog, and what Tappert had taken for the two burning eyes of the hungry warewoof were merely the last two candles burning down and turned fiery orange by the early day's misty light.Tappert suddenly heard movement a'near'off, a bobbin way of saying over there, but whatever it was it was going away now, rustling off through the brush and none too clever by half or so it, whatever it was, must have been thinking to itself that it was about.For again, bobbin are remarkable creatures alone and in the wood and field. And if a bobbin is so of a mind, they can move through a forest at a dead run and never leave a trace. Especially if they've turned to taking off their boots, which they prefer for work and styling, and even the elves of Indolién come to have boots done in Leatherby, for bobbin boots are the finest workmanship, so all agree. But without boots, and wearing their walking mocs, as they call them, soft leather hide shoes their long-ago bobbin ancestors made, then a bobbin cannot be found having moved through an area no matter how recently, and at what reckless speed they did so.But not with fine boots on, as Tappert was so beshod this morning. Next to fine maps and well-kept books, Tappert MaCrow's other passion was well made clothing and leather boots. The sounds of his crunched on the hard rock, and just before the lamppost burning its twin evil eyes in the morning mist, the Little listened to whatever it was that had been trailing him, running alongside the road, take itself off and into the brush, heading off toward Quiet Stream a bit farther over. Which is how bobbin mean a'near'off but farther away.No less than a league.“P'raps it was a beast,” whispered Tappert to himself in the lonely morning gloom. “Needin' a drink before the day's sleep. That's all.”When it was gone and everything was silent once more, Tappert turned back to the lamppost and was just about to run again when standing there in front of him was Old Malrond himself.The elven wizard who often came from Indolién to share news and tales and magics of telling and show.Puffing his pipe and watching the Little through the morning gloom, the wizard stood stone still.“Well, Helloo there,” muttered the elven wizard, musing his beard as he blew smoke rings into the mist. “And what would little Tappert MaCrow be out doing at this time of the morning. Shouldn't you be making one of your fine breakfasts and ready for the day's work of curing olives and barreling oils for the markets of fair Indolién itself?”Startled, Tappert backed up suddenly and stared skyward at the tall wizard looming over him in the misty gloom beneath the lampposts. The two glaring candles turned hellish orange by the strange light of an almost surreal, and even magical morning.Then again, Tappert thought, calming himself even as he did so. It has been a strange and long night. Seeing warewoofs in the mist can do that to a one.“Hullo there Master Malrond,” said Tappert softly.Now, Tappert had never liked Malrond and had kept his dealings exclusively short with the wizard, purposely affecting an air he already possessed, but exaggeratedly so with this elf in particular.And it had been on more than a few evenings, Tappert's eyes aching from studying the maps and books of his tower, that he had found himself wondering exactly why he'd behaved so particularly with this particularelf.Perhaps, Tappert reasoned, it was because the elf was not just any elf, and yes elves were fascinating and wonderful, but that this one was a wizard. Which is a rare thing. And it was rumored he was very old and had accumulated much power.That had definitely been a perhaps in Tappert's thinking regarding his reactions to Malrond.But really the reason Tappert always seemed so standoffish around the wizard, busy and shy but not really so much as he appeared, but as has been stated, overexaggerating the mannerism if only to be clear of the wizard's presence, had always been curious to Tappert himself. Again, he actually knew the source of all this,and that his behaviour had come from and been the direct result of his uncle Guthbert.His very eccentric uncle Guthbert.Though he, Tappert, had inherited everything from his eccentric and oft gone a'wanderin' uncle, Tappert had also inherited many long lectures that were actually quite endlessly fascinating on what lay beyond, and even sometimes within, the Little Lands, or what the maps called The Gentle Lands. But… Tappert had come to question the things his uncle had said, since the old daft's passing these five years now.Many times, with the things Tappert experienced, and especially in the Underhall areas of SaltBlockHall, Tappert had been forced to develop a maxim he now, five years later, had come to rely on in all manner of things and not just with his daft old uncle's tales and dangerous curiosities.Tappert would say, at times, “How do you know this?” Or, “How do you know that?”Because… he wanted to make sure there was a sensible reason that added it up, instead of just taking something for granted as told to him. He had a small scar across the top of his left hand because of something his uncle had told him that had quite been true.And the scar never healed.But when Tappert asked, as he did often now, of other bobbin when they were on about something, “How do you know this?” or, “How do you know that?” this particularly annoyed those other bobbin, especially when they were so certain of some fact or idea and he would, good naturedly and fully intent on actually finding out the heart of a matter, ask this same thing of them.“How do you know this?” Or, “How do you know that?”And at that point it would drive other bobbin nuts and cause much Flusteration as they called it. There is no such word as Flusteration. But when you think about it, there really should be, shouldn't there.And why did it cause this… Flusteration?Well, by Tappert honestly asking them, “How do you know this?” or, “How do you know that?” it forced them to actually ask themselves how they really did know the thing they were so certain of. And, as it is with most people, bobbin, elf, human, you or even me, it made them realize they did not actually know this thing they were so certain about, and instead, they were taking, as a fact, arguing as gospel some thing or happening they only had secondhand knowledge of, gossip really, at best.But Tappert considered knowing why, or how, or what… more important than one'sone's certainty. In fact, he had come to depend on it on a number of occasions. He was not merely satisfied with gossip. Hencethe books and maps.For knowledge was survival, and Tappert had already almost died twice in his life. He was very worried about that third time which would come along shortly.There were, and this is just between you and meI and Tappert for the rest of this part of the tale, many dangerous things down there in the Underhall beneath Saltblocke. Strange and dangerous things. Uncle Guthbert, plucky and adventury, had gone far and wide, far-er and wider than anyone thought, and he had come home to his hall with many strange… curiosities… in his far and wide travels. Some, down there in the underhalls were, in fact, quite verydangerous. And so, Tappert had taken to approaching all things in such manner and it had bled over into his daily interactions, and as you can guess, among the bobbin, it had caused much… Flusteration when he asked how a thing were known.Flusteration.Truly, it's a wonderful word. Enjoy using it.Now, to Malrond and the gloomy crossroads on a morning when it was most inconvenient for Tappert to be meeting up suddenly with the strangely friendly, yet rather pushy, thought Tapper oftentimes before, elven wizard from Indolién.And then there was what he'd been told in darkest confidence on a night tradition said secrets were told.Uncle Guthbert had one thing to say regarding the enigmatic wizard, and he'd said this in the dark of Windy Winternight, or what the Little's call Whistle Eve, when bBobbin believe things that should not be said, or rather things that should not be heard aloud, are best said quietly with the cover of wind and storm to secret their telling. Uncle Guthbert near the main hall fire that Whistle Eve the two of them listening to the storm beyond the halls and having a great tawny port and some fine cheese, smoked nuts of course too, Tappert's daft uncle had leaned forward at the height of the storm and croaked softly, “That one…” he looked around solemnly, watching the shadows shift as the wind came screaming down the chimney and tossing the fire this way and that as it searched the shadows of the room, “is not to be trusted, Tappert. Not by half, says I.”And this was in reply to Tappert having said, “And what of the elf wizard Malrond, Uncle?. He comes round to the inn, and I do not care for his manners. He stares and seems to see the things you wish not to be seen. He makes me cold inside.”His uncle leaned closer when the wind was howling its most now. Making shutters throughout the vast hall under the hill slam and rattle like all the ghosts of Whistle Eve were out that night and trying to gain access to the hall.“Never let him into the Underhall, Tap Tap. He will try. Bet on it, my bobbin. But be polite. Be firm. Always carry a pocketknife because perhaps there will be cheese and cake. But never, Tappert. Never ever, little Tappert, let him into my underhall. I know… He desires greatly to see what I found down there.”And after that, even when Tappert would ask for more info or further clarification, his old uncle, losing his marbles day by day in those last wonderful fun years, would only look around cautiously, spying the shadows like some old corsair from Far Havens, and say nothing more on the subject, giving only a wary look, and an unspoken warning nothing further would be said. And that what had been said… was to be obeyed.Now, in the mist and gloom of what would soon be a fine morning, the wizard stared down at the young bobbin at the crossroads, musing his pipe, casting slithering smoke rings into the soft fog. The last of the melting twin candles in the lamppost burning like a demon dreaming just above and behind the sorcerer.“Now what, Tappert MaCrow,” slowly intoned the wizard in that grand voice of his. “Are you rushing off to do that is so, so, so very important this morning.” This is a public episode.

However, anticoagulant activities of curcumin have not been studied.  The anticoagulant properties of curcumin and its derivative (bisdemethoxycurcumin, BDMC) were determined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT) as well as cell-based thrombin and activated factor X (FXa) generation activities.  Data showed that curcumin and BDMC prolonged aPTT and PT significantly and inhibited thrombin and FXa activities. They inhibited the generation of thrombin or FXa. In accordance with these anticoagulant activities, curcumin and BDMC showed anticoagulant effect in vivo.  Surprisingly, these anticoagulant effects of curcumin were better than those of BDMC indicating that methoxy group in curcumin positively regulated anticoagulant function of curcumin. Therefore, these results suggest that curcumin and BDMC possess antithrombotic activities and daily consumption of the curry spice turmeric might help maintain anticoagulant status.   Probiotics may prevent breast cancer: Study Western University (Ontario), June 27, 2022   A new study has found probiotics may prove to be a critical factor in preventing breast cancer.   Dr Gregor Reid, the professor of microbiology, immunology and surgery at the Western University in Ontario, Canada, said the bacteria having the potential to abet breast cancer are present in the breasts of cancer patients, while beneficial bacteria are more abundant in healthy breasts.   In the study, Reid's PhD student Camilla Urbaniak obtained breast tissues from 58 women, who were undergoing lumpectomies or mastectomies for either benign (13 women) or cancerous (45 women) tumors as well as from 23 healthy women, who had undergone breast reductions or enhancements. Researchers found that women with breast cancer had elevated levels of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis, two bacteria known to induce double-stranded breaks in DNA in HeLa cells, which are cultured human cells. They say the breaks are prone to errors, which can cause cancer to develop.   Health-promoting bacteria Lactobacillus and Streptococcus (lactic acid bacteria) were more abundant in women with healthy breasts, both are anti-carcinogenic.     'Mystical' psychedelic compound found in normal brains University of Michigan, June 27, 2022 In the past few years, thrill-seekers from Hollywood, Silicon Valley and beyond have been travelling to South America to take part in so-called Ayahuasca retreats. Their goal: to partake in a brewed concoction made from a vine plant Banisteriopsis caapi, traditionally used by indigenous people for sacred religious ceremonies. Drinkers of Ayahuasca experience short-term hallucinogenic episodes many describe as life-changing. The active ingredient responsible for these psychedelic visions is a molecule called dimethyltryptamine (DMT). For the first time, a team led by Michigan Medicine has discovered the widespread presence of naturally-occurring DMT in the mammalian brain. The finding is the first step toward studying DMT-- and figuring out its role -- within the brains of humans. "DMT is not just in plants, but also can be detected in mammals," says Jimo Borjigin, Ph.D., of the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Her interest in DMT came about accidentally. Before studying the psychedelic, her research focused on melatonin production in the pineal gland. In the seventeenth century, the philosopher Rene Descartes claimed that the pineal gland, a small pinecone-shaped organ located deep in the center of the brain, was the seat of the soul. Since its discovery, the pineal gland, known by some as the third eye, has been shrouded in mystery. Scientists now know it controls the production of melatonin, playing an important role in modulating circadian rhythms, or the body's internal clock.  The core idea seems to come from a documentary featuring the work of researcher Rick Strassman, Ph.D. with the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. In the mid-1990s, he conducted an experiment in which human subjects were given DMT by IV injection and interviewed after its effects wore off. In a documentary about the experiment, Strassman claims that he believed the pineal gland makes and secretes DMT. Borjigin sought to discover how and where DMT was synthesized.  They found DMT in other parts of the brain, including the neocortex and hippocampus that are important for higher-order brain functions including learning and memory." A paper published in 2018 by researchers in the U.K. purported that DMT simulates the near death experience, wherein people report the sensation of transcending their bodies and entering another realm.    Puffing curcumin may blast Alzheimer's Vanderbilt University, Jun 22, 2022   The new delivery method may be more effective than others in getting the compound past the blood-brain barrier and into the brain, where it can fight the plaque that leads to Alzheimer's.   Deep breaths of curcumin may be key to fighting Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study from Vanderbilt University. Curcumin, a compound in the spice turmeric, has a demonstrated ability to smash the plaques in the brain that lead to the neuron loss that causes Alzheimer's, according to the study's senior author,Wellington Pham, Ph.D The challenge, however, has been getting the curcumin into the brain. Pham and colleagues at Shiga University of Medical Science in Otsu, Japan, developed a new delivery strategy. They created a curcumin moleculte that could be tracked with an MRI, to be administered as an aerosol through a nebulizer. This method delivers the dose more directly to the brain than taking the compound orally and digesting it. After tests in mice, the team found that “delivery to the cortex and hippocampal areas is more efficient using aerosolized curcumin than intervenous injection in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease,” said Pham.   Anti-anxiety medication limits empathetic behavior in rats University of Chicago, June 27, 2022   Rats given midazolam, an anti-anxiety medication, were less likely to free trapped companions because the drug lessened their empathy, according to a new study by University of Chicago neuroscientists.   The research, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, validates studies that show rats are emotionally motivated to help other rats in distress. In the latest study, rats treated with midazolam did not open the door to a restrainer device containing a trapped rat, although control rats routinely freed their trapped companions. Midazolam did not interfere with the rats' physical ability to open the restrainer door, however. In fact, when the restrainer device contained chocolate instead of a trapped rat, the test rats routinely opened the door. The findings show that the act of helping others depends on emotional reactions, which are dampened by the anti-anxiety medication.   "The rats help each other because they care," said Peggy Mason, PhD, professor of neurobiology at the University of Chicago. "They need to share the affect of the trapped rat in order to help, and that's a fundamental finding that tells us something about how we operate, because we're mammals like rats too."       7 Simple Ways to Unclog Your Arteries Naturally GreenMedInfo, June 23, 2022   Statistically, atherosclerosis (the progressive clogging of the arteries) is the #1 killer on the planet.  A complex process, involving autoimmunity, infection, dietary incompatibilities, and many known and unknown factors, it is – despite conventional medical opinion – entirely preventable, and in some cases reversible.   Here is the peer-reviewed, published research proving the fact: B Vitamins – yes, something as simple as adding a source of B-complex to your regimen can prevent the juggernaut of heart disease from taking your life prematurely. A doubled-blind, randomized study, published in 2005, in the journal Atherosclerosis found that a simple intervention using 2.5 mg folic acid, 25 mg Vitamin B6, and 0.5mg Vitamin B12 for 1 year, resulted in significant reductions in arterial thickness (as measured by intima media thickeness).[1] Even niacin ]or folic acid  alone has been show to have this effect in patients. [Note: Always opt for natural sources of the B-group vitamins, including probiotic supplementation (which produce the entire complement for you), or a whole food extract, versus synthetic or semi-synthetic vitamins which, sadly, predominate on the market today]. Garlic – as we have documented extensively previously, garlic can save your life. It has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries, among many other potentially life-saving health benefits.  Pomegranate – this super healing fruit has been found to regress plaque buildup in the arteries, as well as being demonstrated to provide dozens of validated health benefits, including replacing the function of the mammalian ovary! Fermented Cabbage – Kimchi, a Korean recipe, which includes fermented cabbage, hot pepper, and various other ingredients, including fermented fish, appears to stall the atherosclerotic process in the animal model.  Additionally, strains of good bacteria in kimchi have been found capable of degrading toxic chemicals that can additional bodily harm. L-Arginine: This amino acid is capable of preventing arterial thickening – up to 24% reduction! -- in the animal model. We have done an extensive literature review on arginine supplementation and have found that in over 30 studies demonstrating this fact addition to 150 known health benefits, it is capable of addressing the underlying dysfunction associated with cardiovascular disease: endothelial dysfunction, with no less than 20 studies proving this fact. Curcumin: the primary polyphenol in the Indian spice turmeric known as curcumin has been found to be an excellent cardioprotective, with over 30 studies demonstrating this fact. One study found that curcumin prevented damage to the arteries associated with blockage (neointima formation).  Sesame Seed: probably one of the most underappreciated super foods on the planet, sesame seed, which we have shown is as effective as Tylenol for arthritic pain, may be an excellent cardioprotective substance, ideally suited for preventing the progression of atherosclerosis. One animal study found it was capable of preventing atherosclerosis lesion formation.

How are you today? I hope it's well on this terrific Tuesday, this is Elliot lane, host of cannabis daily, as always accompanied by the marvelous Aaron Thomas, who produces the show and Benzinga for the platform. Thanks as always just to give you a little introduction for those that may be introduced to this for the first time, we are a cannabis investing news show focused on the cannabis industry.We do touch on cannabis stocks, but also cannabis news. Hopefully this helps your day ahead. If you're looking at cannabis companies to. In let's dive right in jive or dive both Tilray T L R Y on the NASDAQ expands their medical cannabis product portfolio in Australia. They do this with a 15 gram medical cannabis, whole flour product.Subsequently. They also have launched an online medical cannabis education platform for healthcare professionals in Australia and New Zealand. Are they offering more resources and more products to be consumed, also increasing their bottom line. They also are. Providing more resources for doctors to prescribe their products and get more of their products to the patients directly.So props and absolute well done until Ray on that front, a incredibly smart way to attack that market are those markets in Australia. Balance company V L N S on the NASDAQ launches, two new products, one value, and one ultra-premium. The expansion of the product portfolio is part of a multi-step plan to lift balance to being one of the top performers in the Canadian adult rec market.Obviously every Canadian adult rec company wants to be the top performer in the market, but balanced, continually making steps and has been pretty aggressive with their news flow of late. So I would definitely keep an eye on the L N. Interesting north American study from a lab stat international and the blink group lab stat is a third-party cannabis testing company.And blink group is a leading manufacturer of anciliary vape products been around forever. They worked on a study entitled. Puffing regimes found that cannabis consumption through vape devices is vastly different than nicotine and varies vastly across borders from country to country. And I would imagine state to state province to province more than 2000 adult use cannabis users across north America participated in the study.Colorado meets their goal of 16.8% of cannabis businesses being minority owned. That's awesome. I believe they hit 17% to be precise. That being said, the data shows there is ways to go before cannabis business ownership is on par with the state's population demographics. However, it is good to see that moving in the right direction as social actors.He's not always moving in the right direction in an emerging market in general. So now to the more explosive news of the day, if you have not been following the med men and a sin wellness story madness. Is looking to quote unquote wriggle out of their deal that were taken directly from the New York post article.We'll touch on shortly from an, a transaction definitive agreement with us and wellness to sell their New York assets to them. Med men files a counterfeit. Against a sin wellness who filed a suit, of course accusing them of political influencing med men or in F on the OTC claims, ascend wellness, CEO, Abner curtain used political influence with New York governor Kathy and was shortly after able to obtain the email in favor of a sin.So New York post publishes the story claiming coach will push for the $75 million sale of Madmen New York assets to ascend to help them because they are a campaign donor days before Madmen was set to here we go. Quote, unquote, wriggle out of the deal and days after a attended a fundraiser for hotel, I believe that was a sense, president Andrew Brown.So the story is getting jucier in juicy area. I do think Madmen wants out of the deal because given the government. Progress of moving cannabis, legalization forward and recreational use forward madman's assets are more, should be worth more than the transactional deal that they agreed to. With ascend, that being said, there is a definitive agreement in place on a sense side.So is this lobbying or is it political? Temporary? That question, we will pose to you all and not get too political here, but that being said, we will keep an eye on this for you with two major OTC listed MSOE in F N a w H New York doctors can now recommend medical marijuana to all patients who can benefit from it per the New York office of cannabis management or the OCM.When I think of this, I definitely think. Sites to companies like med men but more so to companies like Columbia care, CCH, WF, and New York doctors can now recommend medical marijuana to all patients who can benefit from it per the New York office of cannabis management MTR SSF. As in that tri-state area, those companies are going to benefit first and foremost, this is Elliot lane with cannabis daily. Hope.
