Just in time for a sober-ish summer; Cloud City’s CBD libations are the perfect way to start developing healthier habits without sacrificing fun. As research findings increase about the long-term health risks of alcohol consumption, so do the demands for alcohol alternatives. In the first quarter of 2025, consumers were sent into a frenzy as media outlets reported new research linking liver damage, high blood pressure, and an alarmingly high risk of cancer to both excessive and moderate drinking habits.
The covid-19 pandemic was traumatic in many ways and has undoubtedly reshaped daily life as we know it today. Thus, many have turned to their preferred form of stress relief. Pouring an extra glass of wine at the end of a busy day or popping open another can of beer on a Sunday afternoon seemed inconsequential. But in doing so, they hadn’t realized the harm they’re subjecting themselves to.
The laws of nature tell us that what we plant will grow. Now, those who have planted poison are beginning to worry about the consequences. More importantly, health-conscious and sober-curious citizens are demanding healthier alcohol alternatives. As a result, alcohol sales are plummeting as wellness supplements and alternative health aids, such as cannabidiol, take the lead.
And so, the sober-curious movement rises. If you’re looking to raise the bar for how you manage your health, consider Cloud City Supply your accountability buddy. Our budtenders are here to help and can act as trusted advisors who will not only help you achieve your wellness goals but also make them something to look forward to rather than another arduous task. With CBD drinks that are as tasty as they are therapeutic, these fresh and functional tonics will, indeed, change your life.
CBD beverages are redefining social and self-care rituals everywhere. Our curated selection has something to offer every occasion, whether you’re looking for balance after a morning workout, a pick-me-up in the middle of a long work day, a relaxation aid to facilitate better sleep in your nighttime routine, or a weekend party favor you can enjoy with friends. Personalize your cannabidiol experience with guidance from our best budtenders, who will tell you everything you need to know about the strains, dosages, flavor profiles, and adaptogenic benefits featured in each CBD drink.
The leading benefit of cannabis-infused beverages is that they don’t pose any of the health risks associated with alcohol consumption. This means you can enjoy your CBD drinks...Read More

Meet River, a furry, four-legged design consultant at Carpets and Floors, Inc. in Monterey. River wants to tell you about carpet runners.
Why are they a MUST for pets?
* Traction. No more slipping and sliding like Bambi on hardwood.
* Comfy paws = happy pups. It’s like a runway for naps and zoomies.
* Cleaner floors. Runners catch all the fur, dirt, and drool before it spreads.
* Style points. Look at these sample options - River looks fabulous on all of them!

Visit River's team at Carpets and Floors at 471 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey to view all the options. Carpets and Floors, Inc. is a small, locally-owned business.
