news, your body has a natural way of getting
high, and it is not endorphins. The endocannabinoid
system is found throughout the brain and body,
playing a key role in everything from memory
and learning, to sleep and social behavior. The
endocannabinoid system is present in all human
beings as well as in other mammals. It is a natural
communication system that helps maintain balance.
Discovered in 1990, the system responds to various
chemicals, including tetrahydrocannabinol and
cannabidiol. Endocannabinoids are natural neurotransmitters
that activate the same receptors as tetrahydrocannabinol,
but they do not produce a high. This system helps
regulate vital bodily functions, such as mood,
appetite, and immune response. In business news,
many major stores, including Costco, Walmart
and Target will be closed on Thanksgiving this

under modified hours. For example, Bass Pro Shops

Tree will operate from 8 a .m. to 9 p .m. In
contrast, Aldi, Best Buy, Costco, and Walmart
will be closed. In crypto movement, Bitcoin never

show. Let's talk tech. VJI, one of the world's
largest drone manufacturers, is facing a full
-scale ban in the United States, with a deadline
of December 23rd, 2025, looming ahead. This ban
is part of ongoing restrictions from the US government,
which has scrutinized DJI since 2017. Adam Welsh,
DJI's head of global policy, stated, This is
about forcing the biggest manufacturer of drones
out of the market. DJI holds a staggering 77
% of the US consumer drone market and approximately
70 % globally. If the ban is enacted, It could
disrupt industries like agriculture and emergency
services that rely heavily on DJEDI products.
