Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient

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.

The Secret Behind Ben Johns’ Insanely Fast Hands by Enhance Pickleball

This video breaks down the technical and tactical secrets behind Ben Johns' exceptional hand speed, focusing on the optimal ready position and anticipation patterns used in fast hands exchanges at the kitchen line.

The first key is the ready position, which is lower than that of most players, keeping the paddle just above net height to prepare for low, hard-driven shots.

His paddle is held slightly in front of his stomach, providing a compact backswing for quick reaction while still allowing a full extension for a powerful counterattack.

Another crucial technique is keeping the head still during rapid exchanges; this stability improves timing and makes it easier to hit a clean, accurate return on a fast ball.

In terms of anticipation, the video highlights the Triangle Effect, where hitting a speed-up cross-body significantly increases the likelihood of the opponent countering to the same side of your body (e.g., hitting a forehand cross-body makes the backhand counter more likely).

Because opponents often hit late when rushed, shots down the line or directly at the opponent tend to come straight back, which is another useful anticipation pattern.

When defending, players should always expect a speed-up rather than a dink, and can use defensive patterns such as favoring their backhand against a cross-court attacker to cover more of their body.

As a fast-hands exchange progresses, players should aim to take control by hitting harder and harder at the opponent's feet to prevent them from staying in the rally.

Key Points:

Ready Position: Hold the paddle low, just above net height, with the elbow slightly in front of the stomach for quick, powerful counters.
Stability: Keep your head completely still during fast exchanges to improve timing and accuracy.
Triangle Effect: Hitting a speed-up cross-court makes the counter-attack to the same side of your body highly predictable.
Defensive Mindset: Always expect a speed-up to ensure you are ready to counterattack.
Winning Strategy: Gain control in the rally by aiming counters low and hard at the opponent's feet.
