This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

Fort Worth In Film

Show of the Week: Prison Break (2005-2017) - Season 3

Filming Locations: The Abandoned Swift Armour Meat Packing Plant, doubling as a Panamanian prison​

In Prison Break (2005-2017), the abandoned Swift Armour Meat Packing Plant in Fort Worth is transformed into a gritty Panamanian prison for the show’s third season. This location, with its decaying industrial atmosphere, perfectly captures the harsh and unforgiving environment that the characters find themselves in. The plant’s sprawling, deteriorated structure adds an intense, claustrophobic feel to the scenes, enhancing the tension and desperation that define this part of the series.

The choice to film at the Swift Armour Plant isn’t just about finding a fitting backdrop—it brings a real-world texture to the fictional setting. The plant’s history as a once-thriving hub of industry, now left in ruins, parallels the bleak and dangerous world the characters must navigate. This use of an authentic, abandoned location in Fort Worth grounds the series in a tangible reality, making the prison scenes feel all the more impactful and engaging for the audience.
