Pretty much every romantic relationship starts out with a first date, whether it's online, on an outdoor walk, over drinks or at a restaurant. But it turns out when some people choose the latter option, they may have a hidden agenda. Sneating is a dubious new dating trend, whereby a person accepts a restaurant date with the sole intention of dining out on someone else’s dime. It's a contraction of the words "sneaky" and "eating", so the meaning is pretty obvious. You go on the date, eat for free and then never contact the person who footed the restaurant bill.  How did this become a thing? Why do that though? Sneating is still a little wrong though isn't it?

What is CBD?CBD is short for Cannabidiol, which is one of the chemical components found in cannabis. Not being psychoactive, CBD is legal in many countries. But it’s also claimed that CBD has several health benefits. That’s why demand has been growing around the world for a few years now.Cannabis is illegal in most countries, mainly because it contains the psychoactive chemical Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short. But cannabis also contains CBD, which has an almost identical structure to THC, just without causing a high. Furthermore, the greater the quantity of CBD in cannabis, the lower the effect of THC on the brain. That’s because it doesn’t directly trigger the cannabinoid receptors found in our bodies.If it doesn’t give you a high, I guess not a lot of people are interested in it… So what’s the fuss about CBD then?
