In light of the COVID-19 crisis, Americans are urging their lawmakers to deem CBD stores as essential. In a YouGov poll that surveyed more than 5,300 US adults, 53% of respondents said that medical marijuana dispensaries should be considered essential services, citing the therapeutic effects of CBD on chronic pain and anxiety, which we are experiencing a lot of these days.

BEMIDJI Federal funding has been approved for the Bemidji veterans home, bringing the facility closer to reality.
For more than a decade, local officials and advocates have been fighting for a new veterans home to fill a major need in the region. There are an estimated 27,000 veterans living in northwest Minnesota, and nearly 75% of them are older than 55.
The effort to create a veterans home in Bemidji began in 2006 and this week, one of the final pieces of the puzzle was put in place. The United States Department of Veteran Affairs announced conditional approval for construction grants toward veterans homes in Bemidji, Montevideo and Preston, totaling more than $80 million.
