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.

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!

ONE OF THE BEST BURGERS JOINTS IN LA, HAWKINS HOUSE OF BURGERS
💰: $3-$21
👌: Perfect For - when you get off work.
Hawkins House of Burgers, nestled in the Watts area of Los Angeles, is an iconic eatery that has been serving the community since 1939. Known for surviving historical adversities like the Watts riots and maintaining its authenticity, this burger joint has become a landmark for burger aficionados and locals alike.
The burgers at Hawkins House are the star of the show, celebrated for their robust flavor and quality ingredients. They use Black Angus beef, which is never frozen, ensuring each burger is juicy and flavorful. Signature items include the Whipper Burger, layered with cheese, pastrami, and a hot link, providing a unique taste experience. Another must-try is the Leaning Tower of Watts, an imposing stack of patties with eggs, chili, and bacon, catering to those with hearty appetites. Customer reviews consistently laud the burgers for their taste, with many claiming they're among the best in LA, highlighting the freshness and the generous portions.
While Hawkins House of Burgers is a community staple, its location in Watts might give some parents pause. However, the restaurant itself has an outdoor seating area that's quite casual, fostering a neighborhood feel where families can enjoy a meal. The staff is known for being friendly, which helps in creating a welcoming environment. Still, it's advisable to consider the neighborhood's context when deciding if it's suitable for children.
Service at Hawkins is typically efficient, especially given the popularity, which often results in lines. The staff manages to keep the service brisk and friendly, even during peak times. They work well under pressure, ensuring that even with a crowd, customers don't feel neglected.
