[Urgent Update] Today's email was supposed to be a lighthearted story about Cupid and Valentine's day... And that email is still below, but first I need to tell you about all the people who need your help RIGHT NOW. (Luckily, it only takes a few seconds to help and costs nothing...) See, right now, politicians in Virginia and Washington (state) are doing what politicians do best: meddling in people's private business... (Don't they always?) Here's the deal. Both of these states are trying to pass bills right now to restrict the amount of THC a CBD product can contain MUCH MUCH lower than the federal limit. Yep, they want to be MORE restrictive than the feds! (Super cool!) Now, this new rule doesn't effect nano CBD products like Good Vibes and Nice Dreams, which already contain no THC at all... But lots of people get the most benefit from CBD products that contain small amounts of THC, to help with something called the entourage effect. That's why products like Cruise Chews and Full Spectrum Tinctures contain a little bit of THC. The science has shown that the presence of SOME THC makes CBD work better... It'd be like saying, "you can drink orange juice, but ONLY with all the vitamin C removed". It's just plain ridiculous. The effect of these bills is simple: MILLIONS of people who rely on CBD products to help them live normal, healthy, happy lives are going to suffer... or they'll have to choose to become criminals just to use a natural product that helps them feel better. Either way, it's awful. So here's where you come in: Like I said, both states are trying to pass these bonehead bills right now... which means there's still time to stop them! So can you help in two seconds by clicking on the links below which take you to a form that lets these boneheads know you don't want this silly law. Of course, the opinions they care about most are folks who live in their state. So, if you live in Virginia, or know someone who does, PLEASE fill out this short form and ask everyone you know to do the same (takes 2 seconds) [Tell Virginia you don't want this stupid rule]( And if you or someone you know lives in Washington State, please use this link and send it to everyone you know: [Tell Washington NO.]( Helping out takes literally less than 30 seconds and can do a lot of good for MILLIONS of people. Please take a minute to help. And Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now, on with our regularly scheduled fun email about Valentines Day: ========================== You know, every year this time when we’re ramping up for the Day of Love, Valentine’s Day, my mind gets to thinking about the weird history behind it. Last year I shared about how St. Valentine was actually the saint known for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. So not sure how that eventually got translated into hearts, flowers, candy, and cherubs. But you know me…I had to dig into it. Let’s talk about how odd cherubs are though… Now, who do you suppose decided to make these chubby little child angels - who shoot people in the heart to make ‘em fall in love no less - the mascot of Valentine’s Day?! Gotta admit that’s kind of a puzzler…so you know me, I Googled it. Here’s what I found out… OK, so Cupid is part of Greek mythology. (And St. Valentine, you'll recognize is NOT....) His parents were Mercury (the dude with the winged shoes…Messenger of the gods) and Venus, goddess of love. So his whole reason for existence was apparently to force love and passion on people by shooting them in the heart with his arrows. (How sweet!) But the first question I had (and maybe some of you did too), is why the heck is he perpetually a baby? Well, since he is a representation of Eros, the Greek god of love, they made him a baby because they believed that love had too much power over people. But babies... don't... (clearly these guys had different kids than I did...) So, just so I'm clear, his whole job was to force people to fall in love... but not too much. As in "how much power can an arrow shot by a BABY have?" Following along? Me neither... Anywho, not sure I agree with that logic…but it was kinda cool to learn about him. I’ll share more about him (and other Valentine’s Day tidbits -- You know me, I do LOVE a good tidbit!) in my next few emails. Sidenote: You know what I miss most from Canada when I get back home to L.A.? No! Not my family! That's what FaceTime is for... 15 minutes every other week is about my fill. It's TimBits... See, they got this chain up there called Tim Horton's. Maybe you've been? For the life of me, I can't figure out WHY they haven't crossed the border into America... But anyway, they sell these delicious little donut hole things called TimBits... Get it? Tim Horton's... TimBits (what genius concocted that name?) But, I swear, they're so much better than regular donut holes somehow. You gotta try 'em! Anyway, sorry about the tangent, but I can't see the word "tidbit" without thinking of TimBits. They're so damn good! Now, where was I? Right! I was about to remind you about our Valentine’s Day sale. Remember it’s a little different than our normal fare. It's kind of a two-part sale. So you can not only get the usual 30% off and free shipping for anything you need over at [GetChongCBD.com]( (just enter the code LOVE at checkout)... But you can also take advantage of our Valentine’s Day special over at [cheechandchong.com](. The deal is if you buy two shirts (one for you and one for your sweetheart), you'll get a FREE jar of Cruise Chews! So the two of you can chill out and feel groovy together while also wearing your t-shirts! Sounds like a darn good Valentine’s Day to me! So if you want to take advantage of either of those, they’ll be going for a while. Hope you and your sweetheart (if you have one) have a good time together, or you do some self-love stuff if you don’t have one! (That didn't come out the way I meant it... I mean, I'm not judging, but that's also not what I meant...) Either way, hope you have a great weekend and a GREAT Valentine's Day. And remember, Uncle Tommy always loves ya! Keep on keepin’ on.
