🍁Cannabis reclassification As soon as this month, the U.S. Drug and Enforcement Administration (DEA) is looking to reschedule cannabis (marijuana) from a Schedule I drug to a Schedule III drug. Doing so will help the cannabis industry with banking and more importantly, it will allow more research to be conducted on the benefits of the plant.
Almost 2 years ago, the Biden Administration requested the DEA to review how cannabis can be rescheduled. AGREEN1 has been covering this issue closely for the past 3 years. Now, with 24 states and the District of Columbia having already legalized adult-use of cannabis, it looks like the DEA is getting on the right side of justice.
🤥More FB/Meta disinformation Putin's Russia is being accused of disinformation surrounding elections in the U.S. and also many countries in the EU. Enabling pro-Russian politicians to be elected is the end goal. Weeks ago, the Czech governmentidentified a disinformation network based in Russia.
FB/Meta makes billions of dollars from these "fake news" links. To make the problem worse, it will not allow a watchdog group of researchers called CrowdTangle to monitor the situation. Does that sound greedy and shady? Please be smart about the tech and social media you consume. The stakes are always high when there is so much money, power and influence involved.
🧼Dove refillables Most people have heard of Dove bar soap. It is owned by the London-based multinational corporation called Unilever. Dove bar soap launched in 1957 and has been a household necessity for millions ever since.
Over the decades the brand has developed other product lines. Now available are 11 refillable products, 6 deodorants, 4 body washes and 1 moisturizer. All plastic bottles come from 100% recycled materials.
Dove also offers 40 products using nut-based milks rather than animal-based milks, and other plant-based ingredients for men and women. These products range from Coconut Milk & Sugar Lychee Plant Milk Cleansing Bar to Men+Care Eucalyptus & Cedar Oil Relax Body Wash. These are great changes!
😆Costco members & EVs Your Costco membership can set you up with discounted prices on certain EVs and hybrids. The Costco Auto program is ready to help you select and finance a green and cleaner vehicle, from Volvo, Polestar, Chevy and more for a limited time, so give them a good look.
🔋EV that can charge in 10 minutes Polestar EV, in collaboration with battery genius, StoreDot, hit a significant milestone. The Polestar model 5 was able to charge the EV battery to 70% in 10 minutes at a peak speed of 370kW. The genius of extreme-fast charging, or XFC belies in the design of the mostly silicon battery that does not degrade the battery's lifespan.
An EV that can charge 200 miles in 10 minutes is competitive with gas powered vehicles. StoreDot has partnerships with Volvo, Polestar, Daimler, VinFast and Ola Electric.
