These Cannabis Gummies Keep Selling Out in 2025

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye. Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system. Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

Spanish Kings, Drag Queens & Endless Tapas in Madrid

Madrid is not “tolerant” or even “accepting” of LGBTQ+ people, it’s positively welcoming! Honestly, walking through its streets it often seems like there’s more gay men than straight. And we’re lucky enough to call the city home. From September 18-24, 2025, we humbly invite you to see for yourself on our 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia for a week-long bonanza of culture, history, nightlife and tapas! 

Prepare yourself for tours of the city seeing all the key sights. We’ll visit the spectacular Reina Sofia gallery, dine in authentic Spanish restaurants, attend a Spanish drag show, bravely venture forth into Madrid’s vibrant nightlife on a pub crawl in Chueca - Madrid’s spicy gay zone - and much much more. We’ll even venture out to the historically rich towns of Toledo and Segovia - each with their own distinctive personalities, cathedrals, castles and ancient histories to uncover. We love Madrid and, after visiting us, we’re sure you will too. Read our reviews here.

Aboard a Virgin Voyages cruise, you can also expect live entertainment for those hard days at sea, as well as wild themed parties - including the infamously fun Scarlet Night.

Gay Travel Guide to Lisbon

Lisbon is a city born among seven hills. To look at, it's a sprawling city. Brightly painted houses and red roof tiles shine in the ever-present sun with cobblestoned streets winding all around them—up, down, up again, and back down to where the city hugs the river below. Rather than just the old meeting the new, in Lisbon it's more like the old meets the new and the anachronistic, as you'll find churches, cathedrals, and a castle, but also old-school trams clattering up the steeper parts of the hills, taking you to where quirky cafes and hipster bars are sequestered away in the labyrinth-like upper parts of the city.
