It was followed by strong aftershocks.The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake’s epicenter was about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Herat city. It was followed by three very strong aftershocks, measuring magnitude 6.3, 5.9 and 5.5, as well as lesser shocks.On Sunday, people attempted to dig out the dead and injured with their hands in Herat, clambering over rocks and debris.

Customers with a keen interest in the many fascinating properties of hemp may want to take a closer look at the chemistry of CBL.What Do We Know About CBL?Interestingly, scientists first discovered cannabicyclol (CBL) in the mid-20th century. Although there’s little data on how CBL affects the endocannabinoid system, most researchers have a good sense of this cannabinoid’s chemical structure.Most significantly, data strongly suggests CBL forms after the cannabinoid CBC disintegrates. Short for cannabichromene, CBC is a rare cannabinoi...
