Getting old is no joke, but the only fantastic thing is that I have enough cash plus insurance to get all the drugs I require; for the last sixty years I have been a proper consumer of both whiskey plus marijuana… Liquor has typically been legal in our lifetime, so that has been a constant.
For about 49 of those 50 smoking years, weed has been illegal… As all long-time potheads already know, the law was never an impediment to getting cannabis, it just means there are fewer options. Last year medical cannabis was legalized, plus the rumor mill says that recreational use will be legalized next year. This makes our life much easier, because it feels a little deranged being a 70 year old guy plus buying cannabis from boys… I don’t have to worry about that any longer, because there are now 3 different legal cannabis dispensaries within driving distance, but my doctor approved me for a medical cannabis prescription card, which means I can go to any of these shops plus buy whatever I want. There are limits, of course, because no person is allowed to buy an ounce of cannabis all at once. This makes sense to me, who would need so much cannabis unless they were planning to sell it? I usually just buy a few grams of cannabis at any given time, partially because I prefer having a variety of strains to choose from, even if I could buy a full ounce of OG Kush I don’t know I would, because I prefer trying something different and fresh every time I go to the dispensary.
