Ten years ago the world was a truly odd venue, at least in terms of smoking pot.
As I write this, there are more than five odd dispensaries within driving distance of our house.
Ten years ago, there was not one in this part of the state, that’s how rare they were, but finding and buying pot used to be much more difficult, not to mention a lot more risky. These mornings most cops don’t seem to care, however back then the police were actively trying to apprehend people for possession of cannabis. That’s what happened to me, because a stupid neighbor of mine mailed me some cannabis, and I got busted for it, jeff and I had been talking on the phone, and I was bemoaning our lack of marijuana after our dealer had been arrested. The crazy thing is he wasn’t arrested for cannabis, it was an unrelated charge about a vehicle accident. Jeff thought he was helping me out by mailing me some cannabis from CA, where weed is truly easy to get from dispensaries. Once I signed for the package, the cops arrested me for possession of marijuana – and I hadn’t even gotten to smoke any of it! Now I have a cannabis charge on our legal record. They have since made cannabis legal around here, so I wonder why they won’t unfasten that charge from our record? It sounds ridiculous to me that I am considered a convicted felon because of possessing cannabis, something that is currently legal to possess. It makes no sense at all, does it?
