New Yorks Attorney General, Letitia James, has sued the Trump administration over the halting of two major offshore wind projects, Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind, which could power over a million homes. The administration cited national security concerns, but James argues the projects have already passed safety checks. The pause threatens New Yorks economy, jobs, and climate goals. This comes after a federal judge struck down Trumps nationwide wind project ban. Developers and other states have also filed suits, escalating the clean energy versus security claims to federal court in Washington.

Kelsy Raap from Upstate Elevator in Burlington discusses the science behind cannabis, highlighting its active compounds like cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. These compounds interact with our bodies in unique ways, with cannabinoids acting like locks that trigger responses in the brain. The strength of these effects depends on bioavailability, or how much gets into the bloodstream. Oils pulled from the plant keep many of these natural elements intact.Raap explains the different forms of cannabinoids, starting with THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the one behind the classic high. It can ease pain, boost appetite, and fight nausea, though high doses might bring anxiety or foggy thinking. Then theres delta-eight, often made in labs for milder effects, but with safety worries. Raw THCa from young plants fights inflammation without a buzz, turning into delta-nine when heated.Non-intoxicating options like CBD help with stress, inflammation, and seizures, sometimes countering THCs high. CBG, the mother cannabinoid, fights bacteria and supports brain health, while CBN aids sleep as THC ages. Terpenes add flavor, repel pests, and team up with cannabinoids for better results through the entourage effect.Processing matters too. Full-spectrum products keep all compounds together for maximum benefits, unlike isolates with just one like pure CBD. Methods range from heat-and-pressure rosin to solvent extractions, even nano tech for faster absorption. Hemp also makes ropes, paper, and building materials, not just for consumption.As laws evolve in Vermont and federally, rules tighten on synthetics and safety, shaping whats available. Effects vary by person, and research continues, so its all about informed choices.
