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

Beating hard-hitting "bangers" is a major hurdle for players aiming for the advanced level. The key strategy against them is to consistently aim for low targets at their feet and sides to keep them pinned back.

The process begins with the Return of Serve.

Against hard, deep serves, stand a few feet behind the baseline to maintain forward momentum after hitting the return.

The return must have good depth to make the opponent's third shot difficult and give you more time to react.

Upon moving forward, execute a split step just before the opponent hits the third shot.

Maintain a wide, athletic base with the paddle held just above net height, slightly favored toward the backhand.

For hard shots, use a firm, compact "punch" technique with a tight grip and minimal wrist movement, using the opponent's power against them.

Key Points:

  • Aim volleys low at the banger's feet and out to their sides.

  • Stand back on the return of serve to maintain forward momentum.

  • Always execute a split step before the opponent hits the third shot.

  • Use a firm, compact "punch" technique against hard-hit drives.

  • If a banger gives you a high drive, redirect the ball toward the open court.
