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

The transition zone, the area between the baseline and the kitchen, is where most points are won or lost at the 3.5 level and below.

Players are extremely vulnerable to attacks in this area, specifically when the ball is hit to their feet.

To dominate this zone, the primary goal is to hit low-flying resets and quickly advance to the kitchen line.

Players must avoid the "Jack in the Box" mistake, which involves popping up after hitting a low reset.

Instead, when hitting a low ball, the player must stay low and keep the paddle out front with a soft grip.

Use your legs to push through the shot, letting your opponent's pace do the work, and then close the remaining distance to the non-volley zone line.

Key Points:

  • The transition zone is the most vulnerable area on the court.

  • The goal in this zone is to hit low resets and move forward.

  • Avoid the "Jack in the Box" mistake of standing up after a low shot.

  • Maintain a light grip and use your legs to generate power for the reset.

  • Only close the distance to the kitchen after executing a successful low ball.
