The last few years have been so hard on almost everyone that I know.
Several of my close friends lost high-profile jobs and a few others lost family members to the COVID virus.
A neighbor from school named Jackie lost his Mom during the initial summer spike of COVID in 2020, while another neighbor named Chris lost his great aunt about 6 weeks later. I know that I am incredibly lucky to have stayed okay and the few family members and friends who caught COVID all eventually got better. Instead, I felt economic effects more than anything else. I lost my outdated job and needed to scramble to find a new 1 during the summer time of 2020. On 1 hand I know that I am deeply grateful for landing a position at all, however it came with a pay split that made budgeting more difficult. Since I don’t have nearly as much disposable income as before, I am rather hesitant to try new cannabis strains if I’ve never had them before and don’t know how I’ll respond to their unique side effects. For instance, Jack Herer is a popular strain that is loved by many, including my own sibling Bob. However, I have tried Jack Herer on multiple occasions and each time it has given myself and others major dysphoria. I provided multiple batches to Bob and he loved the effects! Even though our DNA is harshly close, Bob and I both like weird cannabis strains at the end of the day. Bob might care about sativas, despite the fact that he prefers Jack Herer and can’t handle Sour Diesel, whereas I’m the exact opposite. It doesn’t help myself and others wasting my money in these instances and having to use less marijuana those weeks just to get by.
