The Empire Strikes Back: The Just Like Heaven festival takes place at the Rose Bowl this weekend, and it’s described as “featuring your favorite era-defining indie artists from the 2000s.” This year, that means headliners the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, plus the likes of MGMT, Future Islands and Hot Chip.It would be easy to think of Just Like Heaven as a contemporary version of Cruel World, so soaked in nostalgia is the latter. But M83, for example, has been around since 1999. Empire of the Sun since 2006. They’re relatively fresh, but not exactly brand new in the ever-changing popular music landscape.Both of those have had their ups and downs in this millennium.

Indeed, many tokers probably weren’t aware their cannabis strains had any CBD, nor the potential benefits associated with this non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It wasn’t until the 2018 US Farm Bill passed that more cultivators and customers became interested in high-CBD strains. Now that people know more about CBD’s effects, there’s a greater demand for high-quality hemp strains and pre-rolls.Ringo’s Gift is one CBD-rich strain that has become a staple in the hemp industry. Although this strain started as a 1:1 CBD-to-THC cannabis hybrid, it has become increasingly common in the smokable hemp market. People looking for a non-psychoactive “head buzz” sensation may find a lot to admire with a batch of Ringo’s Gift nugs.What’s The Deal With Ringo’s Gift Hemp Flower?Unlike other renowned CBD strains like Cannatonic, we don’t know much about where Ringo’s Gift originated.
