Happy Wednesday to TWJN supporters 👋 

I can’t believe it’s already July! The first half of the year has been super busy, so I’m excited to be back home with no travel plans—at least for the next little while.

We have loads of pitch calls for you all to sort through over the holiday weekend ✨🚨

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
