Sorry, everyone, but weed isn't cool anymore. Once states started legalizing it and Fox News anchors got caught smoking it, it stopped being cool. Posting pictures of your weed doesn't make you seem like a badass either. It makes you seem like you just got back from a pharmacy in California. You got OG kush? Cool. I know friends with leukemia who have Purple OG. It isn't a big deal.
If you're going to show me pictures of weed, you better give me professionally shot photos that show all the little crystals and hairs, not some iPhone 3 pictures of shake. It's even worse when someone posts weed that isn't actually weed. It leaves you wondering whether they actually paid for four grams of oregano, or if they were just trying to look like a G.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
