I have to say that I’ve always been a bit more that curious about marijuana.
But for nearly all of my adult life, cannabis products have been illegal. For me, that’s sort of where curiosity met an unyielding reality. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my career or my standing in the community over a marijuana possession charge. So there was just no question really for me when it came to experimenting with recreational marijuana. Even in college, when almost everybody was smoking weed, I steered clear and kept my nose in the books. But then again, I’ve never been a real big partier and that was certainly the case in college as well. A couple of years ago, recreational marijuana was legalized. First, we had medical marijuana in this state and it was a big success. Not only did so many people get the benefits they needed from medical marijuana, it was a huge tax windfall as well. Having had the medical marijuana situation go so well, recreational marijuana passed pretty easily. Once that happened, that harsh reality of cannabis products being illegal suddenly changed. And so my curiosity was piqued again and I was really interested in giving cannabis a try. So I walked into the local cannabis dispensary and was met with a kind hello that was followed by all kinds of cannabis education. I ended up getting a little bit of a sampler pack that included sativa, indica and some special hybrid strains for sale at the cannabis dispensary. I went home and tried the sativa first and I was blown away by how wonderful I felt. Now I know a little bit more about marijuana and it won’t be my last visit to the local cannabis spot.
