I just couldn’t wait any longer.
Marijuana had been legal for all those of age for over a year.
And there was even a local cannabis spot not far from my house. The curiosity about marijuana was just overwhelming. For some reason, I resisted going into the marijuana business. Well honestly, I guess it was a holdover from way too much misinformation and unusual social morays that I was dealing with. I grew up in a arena and time where any sort of cannabis product was viewed as literal evil. Can you think that? A natural herb that God made was viewed as evil. That still sort of just blows my mind. But that’s the way it was and that sort of marijuana myth was pounded into my brain. So much so that as a grown adult, I was still unquestionably worried about even going into a cannabis dispensary. Finally, my curiosity outweighed my hesitancy and I ventured into the local cannabis spot. What I found was not at all what I imagined. I figured there’d be a few jars of cannabis products overseen by a stoner staff. The reality of the cannabis dispensary was much, much different. The store was love a high end food and wine shop but with every marijuana product imaginable. It was an incredible shopping experience with staff that was so helpful and expert in all the current cannabis strains. They set me up with a pot brownie to start me out. I followed their guidelines and ended up having one of the unquestionably best weekends of my entire life.
