As the lone CBD product sitting among the shelves of the biggest European retailer’s pharmacy counter, Dragonfly Biosciences Ltd. is set to spearhead the quest for the legitimacy of the hemp derivative.
Dragonfly is the only CBD or cannabidiol brand found in displays of Tesco Plc’s United Kingdom grocery stores. The company certainly holds an edge among plenty of other CBD brands with claims of medical benefits to combat pain, inflammation, and insomnia, there is still struggle to be accepted by lawmakers and the public at large.
CBD is deemed legal in over 40 countries to date, particularly since this cannabis derivative doesn’t give a high to users. In Europe, the CBD market is projected to reach around $1.7 billion in 2023, which is six-fold its value today. The industry is booming, and with a known advocated being appointed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson as a policy adviser, UK may be on its way to normalizing such products.
Dragonfly, with it being marketed in Boots, J Sainsbury Plc. and at the popular Harrods, is set on the leading the fight to CBD’s lawfulness.
Dragonfly’s CBD Plight
Companies are starting to cash in on CBD products, judging by the growing market. For Dragonfly CEO and Co-Founder Chris Wronski, cannabis companies are walking on thin ice when it comes to producing and selling such products. He says one wrong move can put any aspiring enterprise to a blacklist. The company is determined to skirt away from mistakes and become the brand that anyone can rely on.
Businesses infuse cannabidiol to a wide range of items, including food to toothpaste and pet nourishment. However, it’s not easy to pass current quality and labeling requirements arranged by dietary supplement regulator, UK’s Food Standards Agency.
Dragonfly’s 10 ml bottle contains 500 mg of CBD and costs around $49. To intake, one has to place 5 drops under the tongue. This brown, earthy liquid preparation is let stay for two minutes before swallowing. Tesco stocked their shelves of the product following increasing customer demands in March.
The said startup company is small, gathering a revenue of £1.1M in its first 6 months. However, it grew up to 40% after success in their online sales. They are planning to raise sales of up to £8M. they are also set to release a skincare line this September.
Wronski isn’t new to startups, with his last being a television company named Zone Vision Networks, which he sold in 2007. He is now aiming to sell initial shares by next year and is carefully monitoring all parts of the company’s supply chain. Wronski is determined to maintain regulations and its manufacturing certification by overseeing the process, as opposed to relying on cultivators and extractors.
Furthermore, Dragonfly wants to delve in vape products and is looking to expand in France, Poland, and Germany within next year. It is also not closing doors on a possible Canada and US expansion.
Bogus CBD Products?
It’s unfortunate how, even with the CBD boom, much bogus merchandise, unproven medical claims, and harmful ingredients still exist. Among 30 of UK’s best-selling brands, 11 products contain less than half its claimed CBD content, as stated by the industry group Center for Medical Cannabis.
A vial worth £90 had no cannabidiol, while half of the tested brands had THC. This cannabis component is responsible for the pot high and is illegal in the UK and other countries. Some brands are also found with heavy metals and harmful solvents that are above limits.
In Canada and the US, law enforcers are tightening the leash on CBD companies, with police seizing goods and revoking licenses after finding a breach in regulations. This is also foreseen in the European market. Blair Gibbs, PM’s policy adviser appointee, calls for the legalization and stricter cannabis regulation.
Dragonfly retailers trust the company to meet compliance and safety standard requirements, says brand COO Hannah Skingle. The startup grows its cannabis source in Bulgaria on a 1,800-acre lawful farm, with production taken care of by 20 employees. Extraction is then done in Romania.

A few years ago, I wrote about domain registrars. Realizing how often people still reference that post, and how old it is, I decided to ask what people are using these days.
There was a lot less variety in the responses than last time I asked. In fact, four registrars accounted for almost all replies I received, even via in-person and private conversations.
My personal choice remains Gandi. Their new, JavaScript-heavy website belies the robustness of their platform, but if we judged companies by their websites, most would come up short. (This is why I want to rebuild every website I visit.)
The projects they support can give you a good idea of their principles, which is something that matters to me.
Gandi is committed to being the ethical choice for creating a web presence.
iwantmyname has an awkward name but a loyal customer base, and they have a wonderful sense of humor. The one-click setup of popular services like Google and AWS is a convenient way to get started quickly.
I hope these recommendations can help you choose the domain registrar that’s best for you, especially if you don’t already own your own domain name(s). As I wrote in a recent article about personal websites on 99U:
Owning your own domain name is important, and if this article can convince you of only one thing, let it be this.
If you have any additions or corrections, please let me know.
Like most industries, web design has changed quite a bit over time. In its early days, people put websites together using a very DIY process. Code was often written by hand in a simple text editor.
But as the industry evolved, so did the way we build sites. Many of the more manual portions of the process have been replaced by tools that bring added convenience and functionality.
For example, many designers prefer to use a CSS framework such as Bootstrap, rather than reinvent a new UI for each project. Likewise, it’s common practice to install a copy of WooCommerce as opposed to building a shopping cart from the ground up. Much like the assembly line forever changed the automotive industry, this massive array of available tools and assets have changed web design.
This power and convenience come with a lot of benefits. Yet, it can also put us into some very difficult situations. With that in mind, let’s explore the effect this has had on modern web design.
Rapid Development and Powerful Features
The old way of building websites was, even at it’s best, inefficient. Constructing everything from scratch (or even your own personal library of code) took up precious time and resources. Projects took longer to complete. Plus, complex functionality was beyond the reach of the average designer.
The fact that we now have at our disposal tens of thousands of free and low-cost pieces of software has leveled the playing field. It means that a solo freelancer can compete for bigger jobs or that a small-time developer can build something that could potentially be used by millions.
But it’s not just professionals who are benefitting. These days, even novices can clear these formerly formidable hurdles. For some, it might be as simple as installing an attractive WordPress theme and a selection of relevant plugins. Within a few hours, they can be selling their products and services online.
A large part of the design and development process is now picking and choosing which pieces we want to utilize. Everything from simple UI components to high-end functionality is within just about everyone’s reach.
What We Give Up
Whether it’s a hot new JavaScript library or an open source CMS, these tools increase efficiency and lower costs. This is great for democratizing the web, but has also lead us to a new set of potential risks and challenges, including:
Less Control
The tools we use to build websites make the process easier than ever. But the cost is often giving up a measure of control.
This is especially so when using closed, proprietary site building services. Unhappy with the service? You can certainly leave, but good luck taking your website along with you. If you want to move that same look and functionality elsewhere, it might mean starting from scratch.
Reliance on Others
A website that relies heavily on third-party tools and services (which appears to be the majority these days) is, in some part, at the mercy of others. That means when, for instance, your must-have WordPress plugin has a problem, there’s not much for a designer to do other than wait for a fix (and placate an impatient client).
In a worst-case scenario, perhaps that bug fix never comes. At that point, you’re stuck with something that doesn’t work and forced to find an alternative. While you may indeed find a suitable replacement, it’s still a frustrating experience.
Security and Privacy Risks
This also opens the door to potential privacy and security concerns, as well. We’ve already seen previously-safe software fall into the wrong hands and used for not-so-nice purposes. And the potential for further abuse is always there.
And while the vast majority of people behind these products are trying to do the right thing, the fear of a single bad actor is well-founded. The problem for anyone building a website is that it’s just impossible to know who to trust. Even if you think you’ve made the right choices, the situation is fluid and can change without notice.
Good or Bad, the Game Has Changed
In some ways, it feels like a paradox. The very thing that makes our job easier can also add multiple layers of complexity. But that’s the new normal of modern web development.
Very few of us have the time or skills required to build everything ourselves. And, even those that do might think twice about attempting it. There is not only the factor of reinventing the wheel, but clients may not be crazy about the idea of a fully-bespoke solution, either.
That leads us to collecting various pieces from various places in an effort to make them all work together. It’s difficult, but it seems like the techniques for achieving a measure of harmony is steadily improving.
That’s good news, because it doesn’t look like this piecemeal approach will go away any time soon.

The reported fat-burning supplement garcinia Cambogia has sparked hot debate among those seeking weight loss. Many Celebrities tout the “miracle” pill made from saptrees (also called mangosteens or African mangosteen). They credit HCA (Hydroxycitric acid), the fat-burning agent in Garcinia Cambogia, with their weight loss. Others say the wonder drug is just a placebo and that it might actually be dangerous. Now troubling rumors of freaky side effects have reignited that firestorm.
Garcinia Cambogia appetite suppressant claims
Celebrity physician Dr. Mehmet Oz has long promoted the garcinia fruit (a kind of pumpkin related to tamarind) as a way to feel full and curb cravings while dieting. The supplement, made from rind and extract of mangosteen (garcinia) is called a fat burner or metabolism booster but it’s also an appetite suppressant. Dr. Oz got celebrity weight losers like Paula Deen and Melissa McCarthy down from obesity using it.
Those who doubt efficacy have only to look at their massive weight drop to prove it works. For morbidly obese, losing 20 pounds or so might be just the mojo needed to keep losing. As a fruit supplement, it’s not a drug and so can be called natural weight loss. It’s also arguably preferable to bariatic or gastric bypassweight loss surgery. It’s also safer than diet pills with steroids, caffeine, guarana or ephedra.
Saptree extract linked to mania
Garcinia Cambogia doesn’t work for everyone, however, and it doesn’t work the same for everyone.
In a few cases, people with a history of bipolar showed manic episodes with euphoria, excitability, delusions, accelerated speech, and irritability when taking garcinia. Whether these are linked to the supplement or not is debatable. Restricting calories in diet can produce similar side effects, such as shakiness, intense sensations, and jitteriness. Other supplements boost metabolism or break down sugar–DHEA, cinnamon, green tea, green coffee–produce the same sensations.
DHEA actually increases heart rate and can induce extreme depression.
