The coronavirus pandemic has slowed some festivals, stopped others completely, but also started some.  In the north of Croatia, a new festival of electronic music, Crazy Island Festival, will be held on August 7th and 8th, 2020.  And this is a new opportunity for dancing. As the organizers say, "we wanted something new, something crazy and wild, something with which we will be able to show the audience that it is okay to be different. Crazy Island is a place where everyone is welcome, a place where everyone can feel at home." What makes the Crazy Island Festival stand out is the location.  On the Island of Youth in Ludbreg, right in the city center, in an oasis of greenery . Separated from the main streets by a bridge, Mladost Island is an ideal place for concerts and festivals. You are obviously in the center of the city, and you have the feeling that you are miles away.  The audience at the festival will be entertained by now well-known names from the industry: Lukas Inne

Cannabis reduces headache in 47.3% and migraine pain in 49.6% of respondents, according to a recent study led by Carrie Cuttler , assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington. The study, recently published online in the Journal of Pain, is the first to use real-time data on headache and migraine patients using cannabis.  Previous studies have asked patients to recall the effects of cannabis use in the past. There was one clinical trial that suggested cannabis was better than Brufen in relieving headache, but it used nabilon, a synthetic cannabinoid drug. "We are motivated for this study because a significant number of people say they use cannabis for headaches and migraines, but surprisingly few studies have responded to this topic," said Cuttler, lead author of this paper. "We wanted to approach it in an environmentally sound way, which is to look at actual patients who use herbal cannabis to meditate in their own homes and surroundings,
