Anecdotally, most users maintain marijuana isn’t addictive. The medical community concedes addition is relatively rare (affecting 1 in 10 users) but it does happen. Either way, some people opt to take a break — or quit — using cannabis for a variety of reasons. Others need to pass a drug test, while a few of them need to reset their tolerance to weed. However, when the body is used to incorporating marijuana into its system, it can leave the person “craving” for weed’s compounds. And when the body doesn’t get its hemp fix, it can lead to a few (and sometimes several) marijuana withdrawal symptoms.Here are some marijuana withdrawal symptoms and how you can mitigate these nuisances.6 Marijuana Withdrawal Symptoms and How to Make It ManageablePlenty of science-backed evidence theorizes how marijuana use can be beneficial to those who are suffering from certain ailments.

Review: Emmylou Harris helps kick off exciting new concert series in Napa

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:22:59 GMT

Music fans now have another great reason to visit Napa Valley.It’s called the Blue Note Napa Summer Sessions and it’s set to bring more than two-dozen headliner acts to the lovely Meritage Resort in Napa over the next four months or so.Legendary vocalist Emmylou Harris helped kick of the opening weekend of the series on Sunday (May 21), performing a winning 90-minute set of country/folk/Americana tunes in front of approximately 1,000 fans.The weekend’s other two concerts were Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade (on Friday, May 19) and Dwight Yoakam (on Saturday, May 20).It must have been a relief of sorts for the promoters — who also run the Blue Note Napa club in downtown as well as co-produce the Oxbow Riverstage shows — to see the acts acturally take the stage, given that this series appeared to be in dire straits as little as three weeks ago.Related ArticlesMusic | Bay Area Rock Hall of Fame act will continue tour without ai...
