Hemp Permits In PR — Is It Legal To Use CBD In Puerto Rico? 

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:21:51 GMT

Cannabis legality is confusing enough in US states. However, the 2018 US Farm Bill has helped clarify DC’s stance on hemp-derived goods, especially CBD oils. While it’s clear CBD oil is federally legal in the 50 US states, there are many questions about how this policy applies in other US territories. For instance, is CBD legal in Puerto Rico?Whether you live in Puerto Rico or plan to visit, it’s crucial to review this island’s stance on hemp-extracted CBD products. People must also constantly review Puerto Rico’s ever-changing cannabis policies.So, Can People Legally Use CBD Oil In Puerto Rico?Unfortunately, CBD oil’s legal status in Puerto Rico isn’t simple to explain. PR officials have introduced many laws regulating medical marijuana, but they have yet to directly address recreational CBD oil. Also, Puerto Rico doesn’t use the same terminology to distinguish hemp, marijuana, and cannabis as in the 2018 US Farm Bill.However, it’s clear from PR’s Act No. 42-2017 that residents can...

Ray Volpe Sings a Happy Song

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:21:51 GMT

Ray Volpe Sings a Happy Song: DJ and producer Ray Volpe got his start in electronic music back in 2010.“It’s been 13 years now, time flies, it’s so crazy to think about,” he says. “I was in 7th grade in North Carolina, just messing around making Call of Duty montage videos to the sounds of various electronic music. That’s how I found it and that’s how I fell in love with it. I was so enamored of the massive spectrum this overall umbrella of EDM really was. House music, dubstep, drum & bass, the list goes on with so many fusions and sub-genres. I was really into electro, electro house, and dubstep at first. Skrillex was a massive starting inspiration for me. I wanted to start making music like the songs I would use for those gaming edits, so I downloaded FL Studio and just gave it a shot. Honestly, I hated the user interface. It felt unnatural to me. I totally respect FL producers, and I think I could make it work now, but it just didn’t connect with me at...
