For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.

And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…

Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.

Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.

Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.

It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.

Tip of the day

This short video demonstrates the proper technique for executing the backhand flick volley, an attacking shot used at the kitchen line to lift balls that are below the level of the net.

The key to successful execution is getting into a low, athletic position, which is non-negotiable for hitting this shot effectively.

The player must fully bend their knees into a deep squat, simultaneously extending their paddle arm with the paddle tip pointed down.

This low position ensures the paddle gets under the ball, allowing for a necessary low-to-high swing path.

The upward swing motion must apply topspin, which is crucial for getting the ball to rise over the net and then quickly dip back down onto the opponent's side, ideally at their feet.

The final element of the technique involves extending the right arm while releasing the wrist at contact and pulling the non-dominant (left) arm back for balance and extra reach.

Key Points:

  • The backhand flick volley is used to attack balls hit below the net.

  • You must get into a full squat to position the paddle below the ball.

  • The swing must be low-to-high to apply necessary topspin.

  • Releasing the wrist and pulling the non-dominant arm back adds reach and balance.
