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

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 U .S.
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 U .S. 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.

Well, all righty folks, it's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American author and humorist, Irma Bombeck. And
she said, Thanksgiving dinners take 18 hours
