CBD and Quitting Smoking!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Angel Wings Wellness's avatarCape Ann Wellness

Do you or someone you know want to quit smoking cigarettes? An effective alternative to transition off of smoking is replacing cigarettes with Hemp Flower! We have Organically Grown Artisan Hemp Flower. Vermont Grown! We have helped several clients become former smokers! Oh and by the way, smoking hemp makes u happy too!

Hemp is a type of very, very low THC Cannabis that is used to make CBD products.
Hemp flower from Northeast Kingdom Hemp is organically grown, is less harsh than a cigarette, I suggest it is less dangerous than a cigarette and most importantly, still provides the ‘smoking experience’ that’s become habitual and smokers have come to enjoy. If you’ve ‘tried everything else…..’give it a try!

Lion’s Mane Jellyfish from Dan Connell

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

My wife Debbie Hird and I found this lion’s mane jellyfish just off Wingaersheek Beach this morning (Sunday) when we got out of our kayaks. In our 25 years here, we’ve never seen one in these waters. Climate change?

GMG Classic From 2011: Video- The Crew Of The Degelyse Sets Out To Catch Liberated Buddhist Lobsters And Radio Interview After The Whole Thing Blows Up

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This was back in 2011 when these Bhuddist monks would come to Gloucester to buy 500 lobsters and release them back to the ocean symbolic for good karma.

This is the post from 2011:

To make clear the following is only satire and I’ll take responsibility for people not from Gloucester or the the waterfront misunderstanding.
I was wrong to assume that because I predominantly write our hyperlocal blog for our Cape Ann residents that people would understand how preposterous the notion that you could have time to move all the lobster gear even if they knew where the lobsters were released and to set it and for those lobsters which were probably miles away from that location would ever get caught.

 

What I am happy for is that the releasing of the lobster story which would have been a simple story largely forgotten by now has gotten huge legs and all the positives of Buddhism are highlighted. For that I am grateful.

Receiving the coordinates of where the lobsters were released by Buddhist monks, the boys went out yesterday and hauled the lobster traps they set all over that ocean bottom and caught exactly 534 lobsters, the precise number the monks released.

The story from Reuters here
