This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

TODAY IN CT HISTORY: A PUNCH WITH TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES

On April 18, 1911, the city of Waterbury was reeling from the unexpected and heartbreaking aftermath of a popular sporting event gone terribly wrong.

Just a day earlier, hundreds had gathered at Turn Hall to watch an amateur boxing exhibition between two local fighters, Joseph Clancy and William Luke. Nearly two minutes into the fourth round, Clancy delivered a punch that knocked Luke out cold. Moments later, Luke stumbled back to his dressing room, collapsed, and never regained consciousness.

When news broke that Luke had died the following day, public interest quickly turned to outrage and concern. Police launched an investigation and arrested both Clancy and the referee, charging them with manslaughter. An autopsy revealed that while Luke suffered a brain hemorrhage, he also had advanced kidney disease that likely made him more vulnerable to serious injury.

The charges were dropped, but the story spread to newspapers across the country, serving as a stark reminder of the hidden dangers in even the most celebrated sports. It was a sobering lesson in the risks of the ring—today in Connecticut history.
