The Christmas season has arrived and just like every year, we have the perfect cannabis accessories to please the cannabis enthusiast in your life. It was a great year for cannabis accessories.

We promise you can have faith in these products and they are all available now.  Storz and Bickel VentyCourtesy of Storz and BickelI’ve personally been using Storz and Bickel products for 18 years.

SEATTLE (AP) — Nick Sirianni isn’t yet feeling a growing anxiety or concern about what’s happened the past two weeks with Philadelphia.Pete Carroll seems to be feeling every bit of the worry about what’s happened with Seattle.The two slumping teams will meet on Monday night, each trying to snap losing streaks and where a win could dramatically alter how the final three weeks of the regular season are viewed.“We’re not hitting a panic button as far as, ‘we’ve got to do everything.’ We didn’t play well and we didn’t coach good the last two weeks,” Sirianni said with the Eagles having lost two straight. “We didn’t play good enough and we didn’t coach good enough the last two weeks to win the games. It wasn’t up to our standard, so we’re pissed and we’re looking for ways to fix that.”The Eagles (10-3) are no longer alone atop the NFC East after last week’s loss to Dallas. They no longer have the inside track at the No. 1 seed in the NFC after losing to San Francisco two weeks ago and th...

Its current streak includes victories over Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Seattle, Philadelphia and Seattle again. All of those teams are still in the playoff hunt.The Cardinals hav...
