You Can't Spell Healthcare without THC
Mary-Jane is my favourite name. I'm not ashamed in saying I LOVE smoking cannabis, but not for recreational purposes. I live in England, so it is completely illegal. Nevertheless, as of 2018, the medical use of cannabis through the NHS was legalised. The smell of cannabis in England is not an uncommon one. 98% of cannabis in Britain is homegrown, and we now have more cannabis in our country than in The Netherlands. When they announced the changes and started selling CBD oil in shops, for people like me (disabled) this was hope that one day we wouldn't have to separate ourselves and feel bad for wanting to be out of pain just to go about our day.

Tips to Follow Before Buying a Cannabis Product
There is no denying that cannabis is the current buzz. You'll have a different cannabis experience if you buy a full pot bud with all of its terpenes and cannabinoids intact, a CBD isolate tincture, or recreational pain relieving balms and energy beverages. With so many products on the market, how do you know which one is right for you?

The Origins of 420, 710, and Other Weed Holidays
If you smoke weed, or even if you don’t, you’ve probably heard of the number 420 since it’s become synonymous with marijuana culture. When people think of weed holidays, the first one that immediately comes to mind is most likely the celebration that takes place on April 20th. But there are actually tons of cannabis holidays that take place throughout the year!

Venezuela’s Lost Trillion Dollars and the Crisis Reshaping Latin America
What Really Happened to Venezuela’s Lost Trillion Dollars — And Why the World Can’t Ignore It For a long time, I’ve felt that Venezuela is often discussed in fragments. People talk about oil. Or sanctions. Or migration. Or dictatorship. But very rarely do we sit down and connect all the dots patiently, clearly, and without slogans.

Europe in the Vise: Chronicle of a Continent Facing the Three Wills of the World. AI-Generated.
Every morning, Europe wakes up with the lingering sensation of having shrunk during the night. Not geographically, nor demographically, but symbolically, strategically, and existentially. Around it, three distinct "wills" have risen—three ways of wielding power and relating to the world that have little to do with European slowness, its internal debates, or its moral hesitations. Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping do not form an official alliance, let alone a coordinated conspiracy. Yet, they embody something deeper and more unsettling for the Old Continent: the brutal return of raw, unabashed power, while Europe continues to view itself as a historical exception—a "post-tragic" space that has supposedly moved beyond the law of the strongest. The rest of the world, however, never signed up for this fiction.

Tyson Fury: The Impossible Silence of the Gypsy King. AI-Generated.
Deep down, Tyson Fury has never truly known how to "retire." His announcements of hanging up the gloves? Mere interludes, at best. They are desperate attempts to muffle a voice that has been echoing in his head forever. An ancient, visceral voice that couldn't care less about championship belts or multi-million dollar purses. What it craves is the heat of the battle. For Fury, boxing has never been a job. It’s his only way to keep from drowning.

The Sound of Boots and the Silence of Crowds. AI-Generated.
Contemporary history reveals a disturbing constant: the sound of marching boots does not always carry the same moral resonance, depending on the uniform that wears them. In one instance, a military advance triggers torrents of indignation, immediate sanctions, and grandiloquent speeches on international law and national sovereignty. In another, an act of comparable coercive nature dissolves into a hushed silence, sometimes even covered by polite applause. This discrepancy is not accidental. It reveals a tacit hierarchy of good and evil, rooted not in principles, but in the identity of those who violate them.

The Ball and the Alms: When Spanish Football Relights the Hearth While French Giants Remain Silent. AI-Generated.
The Spanish air on that December morning didn't just carry the sharp chill of the Sierra; it crackled with a singular electricity—the kind that heralds days when fate, tired of statistics, finally decides to intervene. In this small Andalusian town—one of those white-walled villages struggling against oblivion—football wasn't played on pristine grass or discussed in glass offices. It was a matter of grit, a bond of leather and sweat uniting men and women whose horizons were darkening by the day. In streets where shutters are closed to hide poverty, the local football club became, by a stroke of luck, the last bastion of a community at its breaking point. This would later be known as the "Miracle of El Gordo."
