Is It OK To Buy CBD Products At Gas Stations?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:50 GMT

Gas stations don’t have the greatest reputation for selling high-end food & beverages. If you buy something from a gas station’s convenience section, you’re probably reaching for a quick & cheap snack. Quality considerations likely don’t factor too much into your shopping decisions in a gas station.So, does that mean that the CBD you see in gas stations is subpar quality? If you need to restock your stash of hemp, is it “bad” to run out to your gas pump and buy a bottle of CBD? While purchasing CBD at a gas station can sometimes be tempting, it’s generally not advisable for CBD customers.Is It Always Bad To Buy CBD From A Gas Station?In most cases, the CBD you’ll find in a gas station isn’t good quality. That’s not to say every CBD brand in every gas station is trash, but the odds aren’t in your favor.Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake CBD products on today’s market. Since the FDA doesn’t screen the hemp industry, it’s easier for disreputable companies to offer CBD oils ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:50 GMT

WHO IS NO. 1? HOW ABOUT DE LA SALLE?This was not a slam-dunk choice. Not nearly as simple as writing in Dougherty Valley as the No. 1 team at the end of last season or Campolindo two seasons ago. This one took some discussion and could be proven right or wrong in the coming week or weeks. But having watched Alec Blair break onto the scene as a freshman two years ago and lead De La Salle into the North Coast Section Open Division final in each of his first two years – not to mention NorCal Open Division semifinals last season – we’re going with De La Salle as our preseason No. 1 team and project the Spartans to be back in the NCS Open Division final again this winter and contending to represent the region in the state final. The 6-foot-6 Blair is a two-sport star who has done nothing but win since his arrival on the Concord campus. Last spring, he helped lead DLS to section and regional baseball championships as a center fielder. On the basketball court, he is a four-star talent with...

‘Widespread rainfall’ headed to Bay Area on Friday, according to the National Weather Service

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:50 GMT

The Friday commute home could get a little messy for Bay Area residents as the National Weather Service predicted “widespread rainfall” in the afternoon that could linger well into Saturday, with potential thunderstorms sprinkled in.As much as one-full inch of rain was forecast in San Francisco and Concord on Friday in what’s expected to be the wettest day of a week which saw a couple of spouts of rainfall throughout the region. That prediction drops to upwards of .75 inches in Oakland and .5 in San Jose, but the consistent rain expected after about 1 p.m. should still be enough to slick roads.More rain's coming to our area today. Widespread rainfall begins this afternoon and continues overnight, with a chance of thunderstorms through Saturday afternoon. Plan for wet roads and allow more time for travel. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/mtxIIWMIdE— NWS Bay Area (@NWSBayArea) November 17, 2023Related ArticlesWeather | Friday thunderstorms possible around ...

Cal football: Do the Bears have a big-game QB?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:09:50 GMT

BERKELEY — Cal heads to Stanford on Saturday for the 126th Big Game with a still-beating postseason pulse and a young quarterback who plans to stick around for a while.Redshirt freshman Fernando Mendoza, a third-stringer when fall camp began, has led the Bears’ offense the past five games, helping them score at least 40 points in three of those.He faced a baptism by fire with four straight defeats to AP Top-25 opponents before Cal (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12) held off Washington State 42-39 last Saturday to end the skid and keep alive its hopes for bowl eligibility.The Bears need a win at Stanford and a week later at UCLA to do it, and no one is more convinced it will happen than Mendoza.“I want to win the next two games,” he said, “and after that I want to win the bowl game and then I win more games next year and be the best quarterback I can become. And one of the top in the nation.”(AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vásquez) (AP Photo/Godofredo A. Vásquez)In the fluid era of the transfer portal wi...

CAN ANYONE IN BAY AREA BEAT ARCHBISHOP MITTY?No.WHAT MAKES MITTY SO DOMINANT?There are talented teams in the East Bay, South Bay, and Peninsula, but no program in the region can match Mitty’s superstar duo of five-star sophomore McKenna Woliczko and UConn-bound Morgan Cheli.  Last year’s team lost one game to a Bay Area opponent, Piedmont, but that was early in the season with Cheli out with a foot injury. The 6-foot-2 point guard is fully healthy now and flanked by Woliczko and Los Gatos transfer Belle Bramer, they form a trio capable of torching anyone in coach Sue Phillips’ high-octane press. Elana Weisman, who averaged 19 points and 11 rebounds as a sophomore at Burlingame before transferring and taking a more supporting role at Mitty in 2022-23, is back for her senior year, too. AND THE BAY AREA’S SECOND-BEST TEAM IS …Crowning Mitty is a no-brainer, but figuring out who the second-best team in the Bay Area is much harder given the number of powerful programs.
