is buying online safe?

this might sound stupid but i have always bought carts in vape shops, i recently moved to donegal so i have no idea where to buy them so i was looking at go vape and thecbdstore and places like that but i was just wondering is it actually safe to order online and not get it intercepted or anything if it’s coming from within ireland. it’s all gray market so i don’t know exactly how legal it is to order it. also are owl oils boof or nah? any good suggestions for brands also would be great.
again sorry if this is a stupid question

18F, moving away for college in a week—looking for a "bridge" to get me started

Hi everyone,
My name is Sofia, and I’m 18. In just one week, I’m moving away to start my first year of college. It’s been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m really proud to be taking this step.

To be completely honest, I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed. I’ve had a tough time recently with my mental health, which took me out of the workforce for a while, but I’ve worked hard to get things under control and I’m finally in a place where I’m ready for a fresh start. I’ve already secured a new job that starts in a few weeks, which I’m very grateful for.

The challenge is that I’ve only managed to scrape together enough for my first month's rent. I have no financial support from my family, and I’m in a position where I have to ask for help because I don’t know any other way to survive this transition.

I’ve set up a gofundme to help cover my basic living costs (groceries, transport, and bills) for the first 2-3 months until my paychecks start coming in regularly.

I’m not looking for a handout, just a "bridge" to get me through the move while I get settled into my job and prepare for classes starting in September. If you are in a position to help with even a small donation, it would be a complete lifeline for me. If you aren't able to donate, I’d be so grateful if you could just share this post.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. It’s been a stressful week, and just being able to be honest about where I’m at means a lot.
i’m happy to send proof of things if people don’t think this is real.

Boyfriend relapsed into gambling right before I move to his city—I’m heartbroken and don't know what to do

I’m 18F and my boyfriend is 20M. We are long-distance, and I’m moving to his hometown in just a few weeks.
I’m struggling right now and could really use some perspective.

Previously, my boyfriend has had serious issues with gambling. Last summer, he would spend his entire week’s wages on it. He eventually told me he had stopped, but around Christmas, I saw that he was still putting significant money into it. He swore up and down that it was the end, he was sorry, and it wouldn't happen again.

He has ADHD, and when he’s unmedicated, he is incredibly impulsive. I know the gambling gives him a massive dopamine hit, and that’s where the cycle usually stems from. For context: I don’t rely on him for money—I’m getting my own place when I move up, so I’m financially independent.

I came to visit him yesterday for a few days. He works the night shift, so I slept while he was at work. When he came home this morning, he went straight to sleep. My phone died, so I picked up his to look up the location of a job interview I have today. When I opened Safari, the open tab was a gambling site.

I checked the history: he had spent €150 in five minutes. He briefly won, but lost it all again, and was down about €400 by the end of it.

He is asleep right beside me now, and I am so upset. He swore he had banned himself from these sites and that this was behind him. I love him so much and I really don’t want to ruin our relationship, but I’m terrified of this spiraling again. I don't want our future together to suffer because of this addiction.

How do I approach this conversation when he wakes up? I feel like I’m at a total loss.
