History was made on Oct. 11 when Yale's Polo team faced off against Morehouse College—home to the first-ever polo team at an HBCU! After 2 years of planning, this groundbreaking match ended in a 16-15 Yale victory, but the real win was inspiring change and diversity in the sport of polo. Big thanks to Tonit Calaway for sponsoring the weekend and making this event possible. Both teams are hoping this becomes an annual tradition to continue inspiring future generations to break barriers in sports. #PoloForChange #YalePolo #MorehousePolo #HBCUHistory #InclusionInSports https://lnkd.in/e55-J8Qs

Big change for medical marijuana cardholders in Georgia! The Georgia Department of Public Health announced that medical cannabis cards will now be valid for FIVE years instead of just two! This change allows patients to obtain low-THC oil and order through a new online portal, with the card shipped directly to their door. However, the price has increased slightly to $30 for five years (up from $25). Eligible conditions include cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, chronic pain, and more. Just remember, you still need physician certification to legally access medical cannabis in Georgia. #GeorgiaMedicalCannabis #MedicalMarijuana https://lnkd.in/ex69Zv3W
