With zero alcohol, zero calories, and 5 MGs of hemp-derived THC, these seltzers are the newest way for Cheech & Chong to achieve their mission of providing responsible access to the plant for all adults. They’re perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a “buzz” without the hangover.

Brandon Harshbarger, President, Cheech and Chong’s Global Holding Company, revealed, “This initial rollout in Boston has been incredible. And that all comes down to the team at Atlantic Beverage. They are the ‘Kings of Craft Beer in Boston’ for a reason. Looking at their history in the adult beverage space, there was no better partner. We’re proud to have them on board the Cheech & Chong team.” 

To celebrate, Cheech & Chong are bringing the party to The Bay State. They’ll be toasting to the new beverages at the Liquor Junction in Reading, Massachusetts, on Nov. 10. 

Meet the iconic duo and join the beverage revolution at 1 General Way, Reading, MA 01867, from 5-7 p.m. It’s the “Boston T-HC party” you won’t want to miss.

Cheech & Chong Join Forces With Toroverde for the Debut of Cheech & Chong’s DispensoriasTM 

But the Cheech & Chong revolution in Massachusetts doesn’t end with the beverage line. The duo have always been about more than just cannabis; they’re about celebrating the vibrant culture and sense of community that surrounds it. That’s why they’ve partnered with dispensary operator Toroverde to launch Cheech & Chong’s Dispensorias, a line of cannabis dispensaries in Massachusetts.

Cheech & Chong’s Dispensorias are not just places to purchase cannabis; they’re a destination for laughter, connection, and unforgettable experiences. Cheech Marin, one-half of the legendary duo, put it best, saying, “Legalization is great, but the industry lost some of the fun along the way. We wanted to bring back the fun and excitement and laughter with the Dispensorias. We wanted to do it different than anyone else — almost like another ‘cannabis revolution.’ And we figured, what better place to start a revolution than Massachusetts?”

With three Dispensorias opening in November, including locations in Whately, Greenfield, and Northampton, residents across Massachusetts will now have a place to purchase premium cannabis at affordable prices, while enjoying the unique world of Cheech & Chong.

Jonathan Gonzalez, Market Manager, Toroverde, said, “We’ve taken all the best parts of a dispensary: safe, legal access to premium cannabis, expert budtenders, and top-notch customer service, and tossed all the boring, corporate parts. When you apply that ‘Cheech & Chong’ feel to a dispensary, all of a sudden, everyone is just having a lot more fun.”

Jonathan Black, CEO of Cheech and Chong’s Global Holding Company, stated, “We’ve worked hard to ensure that our Dispensorias are designed to break down barriers, foster a sense of community, and give every cannabis consumer, regardless of experience level, access to a safe, responsible, and reputable cannabis experience, boosted by the connection of two legends in the space.”

But that’s not all. Cheech & Chong will also be throwing a Dispensoria Grand Opening Party on Nov. 11. Join the guys in person at 424 State Rd., Whately, MA 01373 from 2-6 p.m., with a Cheech & Chong Meet-and-Greet from 3-5 p.m.

While there will be no cannabis consumption on site, fans 21 years of age and older are encouraged to come down and enjoy the experience to see the Dispensoria difference for themselves. This is not just a party; it’s a chance to hang out with Cheech and Tommy and christen the Dispensorias in true Cheech & Chong style.

Protect Skin from the Sun: 3 simple tips for summer skin care

Published

on

skin care (Family Features) Taking good care of your skin all year long is essential, but even more so in the summer when the power of the sun is at its strongest. Healthy skin doesn’t require fancy moisturizers or expensive skin care products. You just need to adopt a few healthy habits. For example, keeping your skin healthy and glowing starts from the inside out by eating and drinking healthy foods and beverages that nourish your body’s largest organ and promote healthy skin cells. Additionally, studies show certain foods, such as fresh, juicy grapes, may help protect healthy skin even when exposed to UV light, which is known to damage skin cells. A study published in the journal “Antioxidants,” in which people consumed 2 1/4 cups of grapes every day for two weeks, showed increased resistance to sunburn and reduced markers of UV damage at the cellular level. This study reinforced previous and similar findings published in the “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.” Grapes are also a hydrating food with 82% water content; hydration is essential to healthy skin. Along with snacking on fresh, delicious California grapes, consider these everyday ways you can keep your skin safe from the sun’s rays. Seek Shade Most experts recommend avoiding the sun at the height of the day, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when its rays are at full strength. That doesn’t mean you can’t be outside – just seek shade as often as possible while enjoying the warm summer air. Prioritize Hydration Drinking water and staying hydrated is important year-round, but especially when it’s hot and you’re more likely to lose water content through sweat. Keep your body full of moisture with simple and delicious Grape-Infused Waters. For a zesty kick, try Grape, Ginger and Lime that combines the sweetness of grapes with the zing of ginger and lime, or Grape, Lemon and Mint, offering a bright and invigorating blend of citrus and mint. Enter your Zen state with a mellow, spa-like sip from Grape, Cucumber and Mint. For a cool, hydrating snack, try freezing grapes. Simply rinse, pat dry, remove from the stems and freeze for 2 hours in a single layer on a sheet pan. You can even enjoy them as flavorful ice cube replacements in these easy-to-prepare, flavorful beverages. Layer Up While you’re enjoying the sunshine, layer up with a generous application of 30 SPF or higher sunscreen every 1-2 hours. Wear lightweight, long-sleeve shirts; wide-brimmed hats; sunglasses; and other protective clothing to reduce sun exposure, which can lead to wrinkles, age spots and other health problems, including an increased risk of skin cancer.

A Beginners Guide to Pruning Flowering Plants

Published

on

17533 Pruning detail intro image

(Family Features) Pruning, or the practice of removing dead or diseased branches from flowering plants – including certain herbs, vegetables, shrubs, trees and flowers – allows them to focus their energy on new growth and blossoms, which can result in a more robust and abundant flowering season.

While the optimal time to prune is largely dependent on the type of plant and its blooming cycle, in general completing the chore shortly after first bloom can help shape plants, ensuring they grow in a desirable manner, and improve air circulation and light penetration, which help prevent fungal diseases.

Start by gathering the necessary tools, including sharp bypass pruners, loppers, a pruning saw and hedge shears, then consider these simple steps to begin pruning your plants:

  1. Inspect your plants and remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches.
  2. Find branches that cross or rub against each other and remove one of the crossing branches to allow the other to grow freely.
  3. Thin out the plant by removing any overcrowded branches.
  4. Shape the plant as desired, maintaining its natural form and structure.

Be APOL1 Aware and Understand How Genes Impact Kidney Health

Published

on

APOL1 (Family Features) Senior year of high school is a time for big changes for most people, but for Emani McConnell-Brent, she did not expect it would include changes to her health. After being rushed to the emergency room with severe stomach pain, McConnell-Brent learned the problem was her kidneys and she was diagnosed with a kidney disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). After her diagnosis, McConnell-Brent struggled to get the right medicines to treat her disease. She was encouraged to undergo a genetic test and discovered her FSGS was the result of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD), a rapidly progressive genetic kidney disease that can cause kidney failure. The diagnosis brought McConnell-Brent some relief, both physically and emotionally. “Knowing it’s genetic and knowing I’m taking care of myself makes a big difference in my mental state,” said McConnell-Brent, now 21 and an ambassador for the American Kidney Fund. 17428 detail image embed1Everyone has two copies of the apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene – one from each parent – but Black Americans of West and Central African ancestry are more likely to have changes (variants or mutations) in their APOL1 gene that cause AMKD. This genetic form of kidney disease can develop even at a young age, in otherwise healthy people, and can advance faster than other kidney diseases. An estimated 13% of Black Americans have the two APOL1 gene variants that are associated with AMKD. Those who have variants in both copies of the APOL1 gene have a 1 in 5 chance of developing kidney disease. “A lot of people don’t even know about how prevalent the APOL1 gene is in the African American community,” McConnell-Brent said. Early diagnosis of AMKD can keep your kidneys working longer, delaying the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant. If you have kidney damage, symptoms may not occur until your kidneys are close to failing. As kidney damage worsens, one or more of these symptoms may occur:
  • Protein in urine
  • Swelling in legs or weight gain
  • Feeling weak or tired
  • High blood pressure
The only way to get an official diagnosis for AMKD is through a genetic test. You can find more information about the risks and benefits of genetic testing online. “If you got genetic testing, you would have the facts of what your genes are telling you,” McConnell-Brent said. “Your genes are telling you a story of what did happen, is happening and could happen.” This AMKD Awareness Day, on April 29, become APOL1 Aware by learning how your genes impact your kidney health and help build awareness in your community by visiting KidneyFund.org/APOL1Aware.   collect?v=1&tid=UA 482330 7&cid=1955551e 1975 5e52 0cdb 8516071094cd&sc=start&t=pageview&dl=http%3A%2F%2Ftrack.familyfeatures SOURCE: American Kidney Fund
