Audio is not supported in your browser America’s housing market is failing to meet the needs of most Americans. Rents have skyrocketed, homeownership is slipping out of grasp for young and other first-time homebuyers, and policymakers have struggled to meet the moment. But we’re not alone. The UK is also facing a dire housing shortage, one that is leading to skyrocketing rents and home prices. Usually, the solution to this problem is pushing higher levels of government to step in where local government has failed, but today’s guest, John Myers, the co-founder of London YIMBY, thinks his country should go in the opposite direction: more local.

Audio is not supported in your browser Dylan, German, and Jerusalem get together to discuss one of the world’s least likely but most interesting utopian ideas: open borders. They discuss the moral and economic logic for making it easy to move to and work in different countries, and the political constraints that make such an idea anathema in most rich countries. Also, they discuss a new paper about how housing regulation is making it hard for Americans to move to where they’d get the best jobs.

Delta 8 THC gummies are one of the most sought-after delta 8 products right now. They contain the same delicious gummy base as CBD gummies, but they also offer an extra kick of adulthood thanks to a healthy dose of delta 8 THC in each gummy. Delta 8 THC is theoretically legal on a federal level because it can be extracted from hemp. It also offers a smoother cognitive experience on top of a lower incidence of triggering mental discomfort. The above features have made it a desired alternative for those cannabis users who don’t respond well to the trippy effects of delta 9 THC. But, since the delta 8 THC space is unregulated, it can be difficult to distinguish between high-quality companies and shady vendors who just want to cash in on a booming market. In today’s article, we blow the doors wide open when it comes to buying delta 8 THC gummies online. We cover the best products from the most reputable vendors in this market and provide you with tips on how to ensure you always make a...

However, today’s delta 8 THC market is similar to where the CBD segment was not that long ago. Many great companies are offering high-quality products.

Adderall and marijuana are two of the most well-known substances in the biohacker community. Adderall is highly popular outside of its prescribed protocol for ADHD and narcolepsy. It’s used by college students looking to gain an extra edge on their study efforts by boosting their focus and productivity. This prescription amphetamine is sometimes combined with other substances, like marijuana. Many users claim it reduces the negative side effects of the drug, while others suggest it makes them worse. Some even use marijuana as a replacement for Adderall due to the similarity in their effects on focus and creativity. Adderall & Weed What are people using Adderall and marijuana for? Is this a safe and effective practice? Should I be interested in combining weed and Adderall? Adderall: Uses and Effects Adderall is a common prescription amphetamine. It’s manufactured by the Irish company Shire Pharmaceuticals—with generic versions available from the Israeli company, Teva Pharmaceu...

Despite being illegal in many countries, cannabis is smoked all over the world. The United States is the second biggest smoking population in the world, with 16.3% of Americans admitting to regularly use weed . Perhaps,  almost 9 million Americans smoke marijuana almost every day , be it for medical and recreational purposes. And how many times have you asked yourself:  “Should you smoke weed every day?”  If you’re a  recreational user, then you probably don’t need to use marijuana on a daily basis, but then again, why shouldn’t you do it? Well, while many high-profile entities recommend that we smoke weed every day, it would be wise to take a while and consider if the pros outweigh the cons. In this article, we’re going to shed light on both the advantages and disadvantages of smoking weed every day. But before we dig deeper into it, let’s see what both the U.S. Government and science have to tell about the effects of cannabis on human health. Of Course, the Government Believes I...

If you live in California, you may consider yourself a lucky person, because the Global Weed Metropoly, as many people like to call Cali, has some of the most laid-back laws in regards to cannabis. The  medical use of marijuana was legalized in California in 1996  when Prop 215 came into force. Moreover, the recreational use of cannabis is legal here since 2016, and people can finally purchase legal marijuana from dispensaries since January 2018. Wherever you look, marijuana is legal in California. But let’s say you still want to obtain a doctor’s medical marijuana card online. Perhaps you want to try it for the first time and you qualify for the MMJ program, or your medical card is about to expire and you need renewal. Whichever reason it is, this article is for you, because we’re going to discuss the 3 best ways to get a medical marijuana card online in California. Nevertheless, before we elaborate on that part, let’s analyze the whole process of applying for a medical marijuana c...
