meditation

While we've been freaking out about the ever-worsening Coronavirus outbreak, Jared Leto just found out about the grave situation...yesterday. The actor took to Twitter and Instagram to share his surprise and well-wishes to the crumbling world around him. Leto explained that he'd been in attending a silent meditation retreat in the desert, completely cut off from technology.

"Wow. 12 days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert, we were totally isolated. No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility. Walked out yesterday into a very different world. One that's been changed forever. Mind blowing - to say the least, I'm getting messages from friends and family all around the globe and catching up on what's going on. Hope you and yours are ok. Sending positive energy to all. Stay inside. Stay safe." 

People on Twitter were pretty entertained by this news, reveling in the Jared Leto-ness of it all, and likening it to disaster films like 28 Days Later. We have to wonder how many other people out there are blissfully ignorant of current events. We kind of envy them.

It seems like CBD is EVERYWHERE these days. If you're unfamiliar, CBD is a compound found in marijuana that does not contain psychoactive properties. In other words, you can't get high from it. Enthusiasts will boast its myriad of benefits, but if we're being honest, we think the claims might be getting a little out of hand.

To top it all off, over the weekend Kim Kardashian threw a CBD, meditation and sound bath (whatever the hell that means)-themed baby shower for the birth of her fourth child, whom she and Kanye are expecting via surrogate in just a few weeks. You can watch a cringey video clip from that below.

Of course, these memes and tweets are all in good fun, and if you've had positive experiences with CBD, we'd love to know!
