Presented by: Mood Gummies 🍁 

These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2023

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

💫 Deals and Points

Daily Drop Deal

I just read an article that the most popular travel credit card just increased its welcome offer to its highest of the year! Sign up before it’s gone!

Its elevated offer of 75,000 bonus UR points is worth $937.50 when redeemed through its travel portal! 🤯

That might be the most random dollar amount you’ve ever laid eyes on, but those 75,000 bonus points could actually be worth more when transferred out to the bank’s many travel partners.

Seriously… UR points are one of the most valuable currencies in the travel world, so this offer is insane.

💡Pro Tip: Historically, there’s an elevated offer on this card only once a year! So seriously, go take advantage while you can 👆
