When they eventually passed the law that legalized medical marijuana, all of us knew that recreational marijuana legalization wasn’t especially far away.
I lived in a community that muttered at the words marijuana, cannabis, pot, or joint.
They thought it was a sin to even confess you knew what it was. After medical marijuana was legalized, I knew the next step was going to be marijuana dispensaries. I never even expected to have a medical cannabis dispensary in our community. When I discovered they were putting a cannabis dispensary on our block, I was shocked. I couldn’t easily believe that our ultra-conservative community would allow a cannabis dispensary to be built in our area; even if it was medical marijuana. I could see the cannabis dispensary from my apartment. The means to see the cannabis dispensary meant that I could also see the people coming as well as going. Every time I saw one of our sanctimonious community members enter the dispensary, I would chuckle. These were some of the same people who preached that marijuana was a sin as well as that it was a downfall of our civilization. One afternoon, I was gazing out the window while studying as well as I knew I knew the guy walking into the dispensary, but I couldn’t quite make out his face at first. He had his hat down over his face so as to not be seen. When the wind hit him just right, I began to laugh. My roommate came into the room as well as looked outside. He picked up the iphone as well as called his mom. He told her she was never going to guess who he saw making his way into the marijuana dispensary. He nudged me as he told her it was the town’s mayor. I could hear her scream, as well as knew the entire neighborhood was going to hear about this.
