Hi,

Fentanyl overdoses and Covid decreased Americans' average lifespan once again in 2021. On the bright side, Covid deaths are subsiding, and there's been a decrease in overdoses in the last few months. :)

Walmart has settled opioid lawsuits with all 50 states. Washington state is now targeting Albertson’s, Kroger, and Rite Aid with an opioid abuse lawsuit, claiming these pharmacies have skirted federal regulations, flooded the state with opioid drugs, and fueled illegal drug rings.

Google, finally recognizing the legality of hemp, has started a new program allowing verified CBD companies to use Google AdWords. :) For unexplained reasons, Google is currently allowing CBD advertising in California, Colorado and Puerto Rico.
