I believe THC is still illegal in France. So it's mostly convenience - a certain base of weed users don't want to buy from dealers, or want the security of a well produced product - an illicitly produced THC vape can be dangerous [1][2].

CBD (particularly the terpene infused ones) fill that gap.

Edit: Should also mention there's a market for the effects of weed, without the 'high'.

For one, not to mix it with vinegar. Chlorine gas.

There was a spate of TikTok's recommending mixing them for cleaning purposes. To the horror of many.

Nearly all A&E (ER) rooms are managed by the NHS. Private ones are few and far between so it’s likely that a tourist with insurance will end up in a standard A&E - which can have very long wait times[1].

The NHS is also using private clinics to help clear backlogs - so even private insurance can lead to a long time to see a consultant.

Ambulances also do not have good response times.

This is it for me, I used Apple Music for a few years and eventually I noticed that some of my playlists would have tracks missing - sometimes a listing would be ghosted, sometimes it would straight up vanish. I called time, brought a A50 and haven't looked back: https://chanc.ee/posts/20200830-abandon-stream.html

Granted my music tastes are esoteric but silently modifying my playlists felt grievous. Now I make sure that subscription money goes on supporting artists directly.

I think this is the correct take. Most comments have been developers complaining that Safari doesn't do esoteric task _x_ rather than their clients can't achieve _y_

Apple make products for the top end of customers and they don't want to be dealing with complaints from Grandma about battery life because they hit a series of dark patterns and accidentally installed Chrome and made it default.

They've made it quite clear IMO that pwa style products would be better served by a native app.
