How Nectar Dry Herb Vaporizers Are Setting Themselves Apart

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:04:05 GMT

Ever wondered why you taste burnt ash instead of the subtle notes of your herb when smoking traditionally? It’s all in the method. Traditional smoking burns the herb, releasing not just flavors, but also harmful toxins. Now, imagine a device that bypasses this combustion process, unlocking only the pure, untainted essence of the herb. Welcome to the world of dry herb vaporizers, the cutting-edge devices prioritizing both flavor and the user’s health. Nectar Medical Vapes is one brand setting the gold standard in this industry.In many regions of the world, vaporizers are not regulated in their own right. Often bundled under the same umbrella as e-cigarettes and nicotine products, this leaves room for subpar products to flood the market and confuse unsuspecting consumers. In most European countries, for example, patients with medical cannabis prescriptions are legally mandated to use vaporizers. However, while any deviation, like smoking, could strip them of their medical cleara...

Lyrically, the rapper is frighteningly graphic as he talks through the exact methods that might lead him to end his own life. “Where my gun, I feel so numb I need my clip, no magazine I am ready to aim”, he raps, adding, “I’m gonna grab that fucking knife, slit my wrists.” But…even as...

Sid Dorey: Non-binary Artists Have a Place in Music and We Always Have

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:04:05 GMT

In the rich tapestry of contemporary music, Sid Dorey emerges as a voice resonating with the spirit and challenges of our era. Hailing from Nashville, this Indie-Pop prodigy artfully intertwines deeply personal experiences with pressing societal narratives, lending a fresh Gen Z touch to the industry where genuine self-expression eclipses staged advocacy.Marking National Coming Out Day (October 11th) with the release of “Alien Party,” Sid crafts a potent anthem, echoing the emotions and sentiments of the non-binary and trans community. But its scope stretches even wider; this track evokes feelings of universal alienation, resonating with anyone who’s ever felt on the margins. “What I like about this song coming out on National Coming Out Day is it is a celebration but also the truth about how it feels to be non-binary,” they elucidate. This sentiment is underlined by the traction the song has gained on platforms like TikTok, expanding its interpretation...

Trump claims presidential immunity for Jan. 6 actions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:04:05 GMT

By Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — Lawyers for Donald Trump asked a judge Thursday to dismiss the Washington federal election subversion case against him, arguing the Republican is immune from prosecution for actions they say were taken in his official role as president.The motion amounts to the most pointed attack yet by defense lawyers on the federal case charging Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden. It tees up a fight over the scope of presidential power, forcing courts to wrestle with whether the actions Trump took in his failed bid to remain in office fell within his duties as commander in chief or whether they strayed far outside his White House responsibilities and were there therefore illegal.“Breaking 234 years of precedent, the incumbent administration has charged President Trump for acts that lie not just within the ‘outer perimeter,’ but at t...
