The Greatest Baker — 2023

The Hallucinogenic Mushroom Industry Needs to Take Food Safety Seriously
Hallucinogenic mushrooms are now legal in California and poised to become legal in Colorado in 2024. The details of both laws appear to be substantially similar. Each considers hallucinogenic mushrooms as therapeutic drugs and allows for their cultivation, possession, and distribution as thearupeutic agents. In a strange, logic defying twist, neither allows for their advertisement or sale. Those activities both remain illegal. It appears that many in California have chosen to ignore that particular aspect of the law as hallucinogenic mushrooms can be found and ordered with relative ease online, and the sellers are using sophisticated marketing and slick packaging that certainly look a lot like advertising. I have no desire to debate the merits or demerits of the state laws and will leave it to others to decide who may or may not be breaking them, and with what practices. Meanwhile, hallucinogenic mushrooms, like all hallucinogens, remain illegal at the federal level, and you can be arrested and go to jail for a significantly long period of time if caught growing, distributing, or even just possessing small quantities of them. I think it is fair to say the feds and the states disagree on this question, and I am fairly certain there are many in the federal government who view the laws in California and Colorado as direct challenges to their authority, and potentially dangerous. Both of those beliefs are likely incorrect, however, they are genuinely believed, and thus the feds will be looking for any angle to stop or at least slow down the hallucinogenic mushroom movement in any way it can. If they cannot do so through the usual law enforcement channels another option would be through the federal regulatory agencies with law enforcement authority, this includes the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Power of Cranberry Juice
Cranberry Juice and Sexual Health Understanding Cranberry Juice Cranberry juice is a popular beverage made from the fruit of the cranberry plant. It is known for its tart and slightly bitter taste. Cranberries are native to North America and have been consumed for their potential health benefits for centuries. The juice is made by crushing the cranberries and extracting the liquid, which is then often mixed with sugar or other sweeteners to balance the tartness. Cranberry juice is considered a healthy food due to its high antioxidant content and potential health benefits. Antioxidants help protect the body against free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells. Cranberries are also rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and manganese, which are important for overall health.
