The topical technology took a step forward as Colorado-based Mary’s Medicinals received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for their cannabis-infused gel, used in the company’s Mary’s Medicinals Transdermal Pen…

Smith’s offerings are among the most diverse in the sector, focused on a wide variety of cannabinoids and delivery methods, including the now-patented gel. The transdermal patches, which are currently patent pending, are 2-inch squares and can be worn under clothing, aimed at consumers looking for a discreet method of uptake…

Sorkin also touts a recent deal with distributor The Green Pet Shop for their Mary’s Pets CBD Gel Pen, which he calls a “customer favorite.” The concept of medical marijuana for pets isn’t new; A Nevada senator actually introduced a bill in 2015 to cover animals who could benefit from cannabis…

What do I see? Take a walk with me…

Can’t help but smile back at this real-world emoji.

Perhaps we’re really moving backwards in time, back to the 1960s?

I can park however I want because I own a truck.

I’m going to assume that the owner of this Jeep is a man.

My unfriendly neighbor.

I can leave trash on my front porch because I own a gun. (Slob.)

I met the young artist of this drawing and she told me it’s an alien. I was thinking, maybe, a bad hair day.

Just barely caught a hummingbird with my camera. They are tiny, like a big bug.

Energy shake? Yuck. If you’re going to have a shake, do it right, with real ice cream.

Blue agave sounds so refreshing, doesn’t it? Go home, bottle, you’re drunk. And according to some map I saw recently, there are a lot of New Mexicans who drink, probably because it’s cheap and legal.

Ah, young love, inspiring, yet a little sad at the same time.

My furry neighbors:

This dog loves to give people kisses, so I had a hard time getting her to sit still for a photo.

I didn’t get very close to this kitty before she ran away.

This cat is wondering when humans will become pets.

Selfie of the day.

Thanks for taking a walk with me. Now, go have some chocolate.

Alicia Keys is tired of society’s bullsh*t, unspoken makeup requirements, and she’s not gonna take it anymore. In a recent essay published for Lena Dunham’s feminist website/newsletter Lenny, Keys got personal about her choice to turn to a #nomakeup lifestyle…

This realization came to light when she began work on her upcoming album. “Before I started my new album, I wrote a list of all the things that I was sick of,” she writes. “And one was how much women are brainwashed into feeling like we have to be skinny, or sexy, or desirable, or perfect.”
