Then, in June 2020 she gave birth to their son and within minutes of delivery his lungs collapsed and he was rushed to the NICU for life saving medical treatment. At his bedside she decided to start writing, a passion she has had since the fourth grade. Paper, pens, pencils, and laptops weren’t allowed in the hospital, so the story began on her phone that was wrapped in a plastic bag due to the COVID restrictions. In order to bring peace of mind, she wrote that he was on a wild imaginary jungle adventure, away from all the bad, scary stuff in the hospital. His adventure included a battle with a fire breathing rhinoceros and a giant river dwelling octopus.

Where can they buy these products? Is Cannabis legal in Florida? Do people need a license to buy? How can Cannabis products be used.” Tejada explains that Cannabis products come from the Cannabis sativa plant, a widely cultivated crop around the world.
“It exists in multiple varieties,” he says. THC vs CBD Some varieties of Cannabis have psychoactive properties that produce a euphoric reaction. They contain a relatively high concentration of a substance called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The common name for such varieties is marijuana. Florida law allows the use of “medical marijuana” that is high in THC for certain qualifying conditions, including cancer, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV-AIDS, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
