Write in what number voter you were, at what ward and what time

As you are probably aware, there are 3 candidates running for Gloucester Mayor. As a result, a preliminary election is scheduled for today to narrow that down to 2 candidates so go to your polling place from 7 AM – 8 PM today to vote for your choice. Here’s link for more election info if needed. (PS that’s why no school today). I’ll be manning a table at Ward 1! (*totally stole this meme so kudos to creator**)

Meet Kicker! This adorable little lady is only two years old and as loving as can be. She loves head scratches and will melt into a puddle and purr when you scratch behind her ears. She also loves her toys and has plenty of energy to make playtime lots of fun! She has lived in a home previously, and during that time she’s shown us that she would much prefer to be an only pet. Kicker gets stressed out when she has other animals around, so she would absolutely love to be an only child–no children or other pets please! You may wonder why she has no hair around one of her eyes- Kicker needed to have surgery on her eyelids because her eyelashes were growing inward. She is considered a special needs adoption because she will need to be monitored in the future to make sure no additional surgeries are required. Kicker certainly doesn’t let her special needs drag her down, and we think her unique eyes only add to her charm and originality!

If you are interested in adopting Kicker, submit an application at capeannanimalaid.org/catapp

Need Better Sleep? CBD and CBN may help with their remarkable sleep promoting properties!

When it comes to sleep, not all cannabinoids are created equal. However, here are three cannabinoids that may influence your sleep patterns:

CBD
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound popular for its potential therapeutic benefits. One of its well-studied properties is its anti-inflammatory effect. It also possesses remarkable sleep-promoting properties due to its ability to calm the mind and body.

CBD also doesn’t make you high. Instead, it helps you relax and unwind, which could prove beneficial if you struggle with falling and staying asleep. Research suggests that CBD may help reduce anxiety, which can be a major barrier to falling asleep.

CBN
CBN (cannabinol), on the other hand, is a mildly psychoactive compound that forms when THC breaks down. It is known as the “sleepy cannabinoid in old weed” because users claim it induces sedation, which helps them to sleep.

Like CBD, CBN is often touted for its potential sedative effects. Some users report that CBN helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. However, research on CBN’s sleep-promoting effects is limited, and more studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.

THC
THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It can induce feelings of sleepiness and help you fall asleep faster. However, long-term, heavy use of THC may have drawbacks.

While it might help you fall asleep initially, it can alter your sleep cycles over time. Indeed, studies suggest that regular heavy THC use may reduce the duration of REM sleep, which is vital for memory consolidation and cognitive function.

If you’re considering using cannabinoids for sleep, it’s worth exploring products that combine different compounds. After all, researchers think when cannabis compounds work together, they enhance their overall therapeutic value due to the entourage effect.

While research is ongoing, many users report positive effects on their sleep patterns when using CBN.

CBN may reduce sleep disturbance and nighttime awakening, helping you fall asleep faster. This can be particularly beneficial if you struggle with racing thoughts or anxiety at bedtime.

Sleep duration is another area where CBN might offer benefits. It might improve overall sleep quality by increasing the time spent in deep, restorative sleep stages, which are crucial for physical recovery and cognitive function.

Our CBD Sleep Gummies combine CBN (5mg) with CBD (30mg) to enhance sleep-promotion. They are also melatonin-free, so they don’t disrupt your body’s natural production of the hormone.

Instead, they work naturally with your system to help regulate your circadian rhythm. We recommend that you take them consistently to enjoy high-quality sleep from now on.⃰

How Does CBN Work as a Sleep Aid?
CBN primarily binds to CB1 receptors in the brain and central nervous system. This interaction is thought to be behind CBN’s ability to promote sleep.

This cannabinoid may also offer pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits, indirectly improving sleep quality. Chronic pain and inflammation often disrupt sleep patterns, so addressing these issues may lead to more restful nights.

Furthermore, by reducing anxiety—a common barrier to quality sleep—CBN could help you relax and fall asleep more easily. Anxiety is a known sleep disruptor, so keeping it in check undoubtedly enables you to sleep more easily.

Our CBD Gummies offer a blend of cannabinoids that may synergistically promote relaxation and better sleep. They are formulated to melt away feelings of worry, irritability, and negative outlooks.

Our industry-leading formula in these Gummies features ultra-calming cannabinoids CBG and CBN and a specially formulated de-stress blend of botanicals, including St. John’s Wort and chamomile to support mind and body relaxation and target feelings of anxiety for overall mood support. ⃰

Many users report positive experiences with CBN-infused products for sleep. However, everyone’s endocannabinoid system is unique, so you may need to experiment to find the right dosage for your needs.

If you have any interest in the Civil War or Gloucester history, I recommend you go downstairs at City Hall the next time you stop by. There’s a small but powerful exhibit demonstrating some of Gloucester’s role in Civil Ware history mounted along the hallways you will find fascinating. Thank you Archives Committee!
