CBD: MG, ML, %'s ...huh?

The standards for understanding what you are getting concerning CBD can be confusing. You may see 150mg, 20mg, 12ml, 7% and prices from $10 to $200 for what seems like the same product. What does it all mean?   Think of alcohol and "proofs" and you will begin to understand more. You can purchase a pint of grain alcohol that's "100 Proof" for $10 or a pint of wine that is "7 Proof" for $100. Why?! The alcohol content is much greater in the grain... why isn't it more?

Attitude Towards Pets

One of my most favorite features of the US is the attitude towards pets. Ethical attitude to dogs owners and the respectful attitude of dogs owners to others, the hospitality of street cafes to guests with dogs, the abundance of playgrounds for dogs, the culture of keeping the cleanliness during the walks with dogs. This is what I see every day on the streets of our town in Florida. And I've never seen a homeless dog ​​here. In Russia, unfortunately, it's a different situation. We talked here with a lady of venerable age in the store. She was holding so cute half-breed poodle, and I wondered how she got it. I confess I I hoped to hear that she had taken him to...
