Feeling “High” For An Extra Long Time — Can You Feel Delta-8’s Effects Days After Use?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:05:18 GMT

Delta-8 may have been nicknamed “diet weed,” but it can feel as intense as delta-9 THC to lightweight tokers. In fact, there are reports of people feeling a “delta-8 high” far longer than one night. If you take more delta-8 than you can handle, you can experience psychoactive sensations for days. Some chronic users have even reported feeling “THC highs” weeks after a smoking session, especially after a workout.Although doctors are still learning about the chemistry and absorption of delta-8 THC, plenty of anecdotal reports suggest its effects can linger if you’re not careful. Customers who don’t already have a delta-8 tolerance must start with below the smallest recommended dose to avoid a disastrous first experience.How Is It Possible To Feel Delta-8 THC Days After Use?The main reason delta-8 can affect some people for so long is its fat-soluble structure. Unlike water-soluble compounds like B vitamins, you won’t excrete delta-8 in one go. Instead, cannabinoids like delta-8 get sto...

TasteFood: Butternut squash and kale star in this yummy harvest soup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:05:18 GMT

A nourishing soup is a welcome and restorative timeout during a busy week. This warming soup brims with harvest vegetables and grains mingling in a tomato-based broth fortified with cheese. Butternut squash and leafy kale contribute a healthy dose of vitamins and antioxidants to the pot; their sweet earthiness balances the tomato’s acidity. Farro, a nutty ancient grain, provides fiber and a boost of protein. (If desired, barley may be substituted for the farro.)A hunk of a cheese rind is the surprise — and key — ingredient, which provides depth of flavor and body to the broth. That’s right: The cheese rind will break down and infuse its essence into the broth while it simmers, providing lip-smacking umami flavor and thickening the soup. It’s also a handy no-waste use for any odd cheese ends you may have lurking in your refrigerator. Choose a hard Italian cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or pecorino Romano for this recipe.Harvest Vegetable Soup With F...

What pushed the mute button on three kittens living under a San Jose deck?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:05:18 GMT

DEAR JOAN: Have you ever heard of a whole litter of kittens that cannot make any vocal sounds?A cat had a litter of three under our deck. We didn’t have a clue they were there, as they never made any sounds. Not even the mewling sounds babies make when hungry.My son noticed them when they were probably 6 to 8 weeks old. They are now about 7 or 8 months old, and we still have never heard them make sounds.They come up and eat in the evening, so they are on the deck frequently. I sit in my recliner about 6 feet from the screen door. Still haven’t heard any sounds. I’ve had some deaf cats, but even they made noise.— Jill Swanson, San JoseDEAR JILL: Perhaps the cat got their tongues? Sorry, I tried so hard not to say that, but I just had to.Most cats are vocal creatures, as anyone who’s been awakened at 4 a.m. by an insistent meowing over an empty food dish can attest. Cats have a wide range of sounds and chirps, and will chatter day and night. Some breeds – Siame...
