Cannabis has come a long way from being just a recreational pastime. With increasing interest and understanding of its therapeutic potential, more consumers are learning how to customize their cannabis experience. A key element in this shift is terpenes , the aromatic compounds found in cannabis that not only influence its flavor and aroma but also its effects. As both seasoned cannabis users and newcomers explore cannabis, terpenes are becoming essential in choosing the right products to match specific wellness needs. What Are Terpenes, and Why Do They Matter? Terpenes are natural compounds found in many plants, including cannabis, that give each strain its unique scent. But terpenes do more than just smell good—they play a significant role in how cannabis affects your body and mind. While THC and CBD often take the spotlight, understanding how terpenes contribute to the overall cannabis experience is a game changer. Different terpenes have different effects, and this is where the real opportunity for customization comes in. Here’s a look at some of the most popular terpenes in cannabis: The Trend Toward Terpene-Focused Products As more consumers—both young and older—become educated about the different effects of cannabis, many are turning to terpene-specific products that align with their personal wellness goals. Rather than choosing products based solely on THC content, people are exploring the nuanced effects of terpenes to create more customized experiences. For example, younger consumers who might be using cannabis for stress relief or energy could turn to strains rich in limonene or pinene . Meanwhile, older consumers who may use cannabis for pain relief or sleep problems might gravitate toward strains with myrcene or caryophyllene (a terpene with potential anti-inflammatory benefits). This growing awareness has led brands to market their cannabis products around specific terpene profiles. Labels now often feature information on whether a strain is designed to be energizing , calming , or helpful for sleep . This shift reflects a broader trend toward personalized wellness —where consumers of all ages are empowered to choose products that fit their lifestyle and needs. Personalizing Your Cannabis Experience What’s exciting about the rise of terpene-focused cannabis products is the ability to customize your experience. Whether you’re a young professional looking for a boost of energy to power through the day or a retiree seeking relief from chronic pain or sleeplessness, there’s a terpene profile for you. With cannabis now available in various forms like edibles, oils, vapes, and tinctures, it’s easier than ever to find a method that suits your preferences. As consumers continue to learn more about the effects of different terpenes, the future of cannabis will likely see even more targeted products—tailored not only to age and lifestyle but also to specific health and wellness goals. Whether you’re just starting to explore cannabis or have been using it for years, understanding terpenes is the key to unlocking a more personalized and effective cannabis experience.What began as a connection via a gaming platform then became a years-long obsession led to a confrontation and stabbing in the Bolsa Knolls neighborhood north of Salinas, according to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office. Multiple calls came in just before 10pm on Sunday, Nov. 25, reporting a stabbing. Deputies responded to a home on Bollenbacher Drive and discovered three people had been stabbed, including one of two suspects. According to the Sheriff's Office, 25-year-old Devin Wolfgang Vandorhoef connected with one of the victims, a woman in Salinas. He eventually decided to board a plane to travel from where he lives in Canada to Salinas, accompanied by 25-year-old Darius Avery Whyte (also from Canada). Vandorhoef allegedly knocked on the woman's front door on Sunday night, holding a package and posing as a delivery driver. The woman's boyfriend answered the door, when a sheriff's office spokesperson reports Vandorhoef forced his way in and began stabbing the boyfriend with a knife. The woman responded with a sharp object, stabbing the suspect—in defending her boyfriend, she was also stabbed and strangled by the intruder. All three people were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Deputies discovered the package Vandorhoef was holding contained handcuffs, duct tape and knives. When deputies contacted Whyte near the scene, he claimed he had no knowledge of the incident; further investigation led deputies to believe he was aware of the plan. He was arrested on Monday morning, Nov. 26, while sitting on a plane at San Jose Mineta International Airport, preparing to return to Canada. Both men are in custody at Monterey County Jail on charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit attempted murder, respectively. Information on attorneys representing them was not immediately available.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire hits near six month highDENVER — Amid renewed interest in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey triggered in part by a new Netflix documentary, police in Boulder, Colorado, refuted assertions this week that there is viable evidence and leads about the 1996 killing of the 6-year-old girl that they are not pursuing. JonBenet Ramsey, who competed in beauty pageants, was found dead in the basement of her family's home in the college town of Boulder the day after Christmas in 1996. Her body was found several hours after her mother called 911 to say her daughter was missing and a ransom note was left behind. The gravesite of JonBenet Ramsey is covered with flowers Jan. 8, 1997, at St. James Episcopal Cemetery in Marietta, Ga. JonBenet was bludgeoned and strangled. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nobody was ever prosecuted. The details of the crime and video footage of JonBenet competing in pageants propelled the case into one of the highest-profile mysteries in the United States. The police comments came as part of their annual update on the investigation, a month before the 28th anniversary of JonBenet's killing. Police said they released it a little earlier due to the increased attention on the case, apparently referring to the three-part Netflix series "Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey." In a video statement, Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn said the department welcomes news coverage and documentaries about the killing of JonBenet, who would have been 34 this year, as a way to generate possible new leads. He said the department is committed to solving the case but needs to be careful about what it shares about the investigation to protect a possible future prosecution. "What I can tell you though, is we have thoroughly investigated multiple people as suspects throughout the years and we continue to be open-minded about what occurred as we investigate the tips that come in to detectives," he said. The Netflix documentary focuses on the mistakes made by police and the "media circus" surrounding the case. A police officer sits in her cruiser Jan. 3, 1997, outside the home in which 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was found murdered Dec. 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colo. Police were widely criticized for mishandling the early investigation into her death amid speculation that her family was responsible. However, a prosecutor cleared her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother Burke in 2008 based on new DNA evidence from JonBenet's clothing that pointed to the involvement of an "unexplained third party" in her slaying. The announcement by former district attorney Mary Lacy came two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. Lacy called the Ramseys "victims of this crime." John Ramsey continued to speak out for the case to be solved. In 2022, he supported an online petition asking Colorado's governor to intervene in the investigation by putting an outside agency in charge of DNA testing in the case. In the Netflix documentary, he said he advocated for several items that were not prepared for DNA testing to be tested and for other items to be retested. He said the results should be put through a genealogy database. In recent years, investigators identified suspects in unsolved cases by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes and to DNA testing results shared online by people researching their family trees. In 2021, police said in their annual update that DNA hadn't been ruled out to help solve the case, and in 2022 noted that some evidence could be "consumed" if DNA testing is done on it. Last year, police said they convened a panel of outside experts to review the investigation to give recommendations and determine if updated technologies or forensic testing might produce new leads. In the latest update, Redfearn said that review ended but police continue to work through and evaluate a "lengthy list of recommendations" from the panel.

(AP) — Spencer Knight made 20 saves, Mackie Samoskevich scored with less than a second left in the second period, and the Florida Panthers got four goals in the third to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-0 on Saturday and complete a two-day sweep. Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Evan Rodrigues and Adam Boqvist also scored for Florida, which won 6-3 at Carolina on Friday. The Panthers have won three straight — that streak following a stretch of six losses in seven games for the Stanley Cup champions. It was Knight's fourth career shutout, his first since Nov. 9, 2022 — also at home against Carolina. Spencer Martin made 23 saves on 28 shots for the Hurricanes, who have dropped four of their last six games (2-3-1). It was Martin's fourth consecutive start for Carolina. Takeaways Hurricanes: This was the first time all season that the Hurricanes failed to get a point in the game immediately following a loss. Carolina was 4-0-1 after a defeat entering Saturday. Panthers: A big day for Samoskevich — his alma mater Michigan beat Ohio State in football on Saturday, that game ending just before the Florida-Carolina game started. The Panthers are 5-0-0 when he scores this season. Sam Reinhart had each of the four most recent Florida goals at 19:59, before Samoskevich got his Saturday. Key moment The Panthers scored two goals 11 seconds apart in the third to make it 5-0, and Yaniv Perets replaced Martin in the Hurricanes' net with 8:12 remaining. It was the second NHL appearance for Perets, who came on once in relief for Carolina last season. Key stat Ekblad's goal was his first in a span of 1,045 regular-season shifts since Feb. 20. Up next Carolina starts a two-game homestand Tuesday against Seattle. Florida goes to Pittsburgh to start a two-game trip on Tuesday. ___ AP NHL: https://www.apnews.com/hub/NHL Tim Reynolds, The Associated Press
