Cannabis News and Opinions

My wife and I went to a really interesting place last spring.

We had a week of vacation at work and we normally use that time to go to the tropics.

I thought it might be fun to try something different this year. I booked both of us reservations at a bed and breakfast that is 420 friendly. My wife and I only recently started using cannabis recreationally. Both of us smoked pot in college back in the 70s, but we did not use recreational marijuana until recently. All of the kids are out of the house and that means we don’t have to worry about anyone judging us. When some friends of ours came over for a dinner party, they brought a marijuana joint. Both of us smoked marijuana and loved how we felt. It was an incredibly awesome experience. I thought my wife and I might have fun at the bed-and-breakfast, especially since we could use recreational Cannabis products. We didn’t know what to expect upon arrival, and we were pleasantly surprised by the bed and breakfast and the entire estate. The 50-acre property was covered with many different trees and everything was just starting to bloom. It was an incredible sight to see all of the new growth after winter. The bed-and-breakfast had amazing service, friendly owners, and everything my wife and I needed to have fun. It was an interesting experience and one that our friends would likely enjoy as well. Next season it might be fun to go with a group of friends. We could get into some trouble.

Before last month, I only used recreational marijuana every once in a while.

• There were times when I hung out with my friends and we smoke a bowl or had a bone.

It wasn’t something I was doing every day until my girlfriend and I broke up. I was devastated when I found out that she was seeing someone else. She didn’t even try to lie or hide it when I found out and confronted her. She acted relieved and proceeded to tell me every detail that I never wanted to know. After my girlfriend packed up all of her bags and moved out of our apartment, I was sitting there alone and by myself. I called a friend and he came over with some pizza and pot from the dispensary. I smoked a lot of pot that night and I actually felt better. I wasn’t angry or upset. When I woke up in the morning, I was furious again. I went to the cannabis dispensary and purchased more recreational marijuana. I’ve been using cannabis everyday to deal with the pain that I feel. It might not be the best answer to my mental problems, but I sure feel a lot better when I am high as a kite. I’m doing my best to get out of bed and go to work and right now that is all I can do. I know but things need to change, but I’m not ready to stop feeling sorry for myself just yet. I’m still wallowing in my anger, pity, and grief. I can’t believe she cheated after three years of dating.

 

recreational pot

We thought it was odd that every time we went to the medical marijuana dispensary, we had to show my medical marijuana ID card and my husband had to show his medical marijuana caretakers ID.

Since that was the rule for the medical marijuana dispensary, everyone who wanted inside the dispensary complied with the rules.

The first time we went to the medical marijuana dispensary, I had to go through the doors first, then my husband was able to come in once I was completely inside. We did a little bit of window shopping while inside, then we picked up my prescription and we headed out the door. It was much easier to get into the lobby now that we were going out. We didn’t need to go out separately but we were able to exit the medical marijuana dispensary together. Once we got to the outside door, my husband began to panic. He can not stand being stuck behind a locked door. The more he pushed on the door, the more I could see the panic building. The receptionist who sat behind the glass, finally got his attention. She told him he had to wait until the first door was completely closed before the outside door could open. He seemed a bit sheepish since it was the same with our bank. He commented that it was better to be locked in a medical marijuana dispensary than in an ice factory. I chuckled but I don’t think the receptionist thought his joke was funny. I was so happy when we were finally able to get out the doors.

Rosa was working an extra shift during the week until his retirement came through

My brother had suffered for almost ten years with extreme back pain, when they finally passed laws allowing medical marijuana in our state. I could see the pain in his eyes whenever I saw my brother. He had fallen off scaffolding when he was installing windows in a commercial building. The insurance company tried saying it was negligence on his part, but it was the negligence of the window company. They had installed faulty scaffolding. Even after he got out of the hospital, he was ready to go back to work. He could have sat at home and done nothing for the rest of his life, but he opted to go back to work, and learn to try to live with the pain. When I told him that medical marijuana had been legalized, he was already getting ready to retire. I had already done all the research, knowing he would be interested in trying medical marijuana for his chronic back pain. I had noticed he walked more slumped over, and he had a noticeable limp and loss of movement on his left side. He discussed the idea of medical marijuana, with his wife and asked if I could take him to his appointment. Rosa was working an extra shift during the week until his retirement came through. It took a while for the medical marijuana to start making a difference, but he was grateful I helped him to get his medical marijuana card. I’m sure in time, he is going to have less pain and more mobility thanks to the medical marijuana.

cannabis education

When our state passed laws pertaining to medical marijuana, I thought they were pretty straight forward.

When I decided to go to work for a medical marijuana dispensary, I was surprised at how different and odd the laws were.

People were not allowed to purchase medical marijuana edibles, but they could buy the distillate which is used in making homemade medical marijuana edible. The state lawmakers felt that edibles were too much like using recreational marijuana, that not even a CBD gummy could be sold in the medical marijuana dispensary. I had to laugh at this, but it was state law. There were nearly as many CBD products in the store as there were THC products. There were labels on every product that told you all the ingredients and the mg of CBD and THC. I had to ask why there were 1000mg of THC in such a tiny vial of distillate. The pharmacist told me that there was a conversion chart available online. If you were making two dozen cookies and used half the bottle of distillate, you could figure out how much THC and CBD was in each cookie. You would then know exactly how much of one cookie you could eat while still maintaining your medical marijuana dosage. According to the conversion chart, every medical marijuana infused cookie would have approximately 20mg of THC. Working in a medical marijuana dispensary is a lot of fun, and I have made a lot of friends. I have also learned a lot about the laws of our state, and the proper way to use medical marijuana.

 

 

cannabis knowledge

Coming out of the seventies as an almost thirty something, I had a lot of knowledge about marijuana products.

I knew all about smoking, using bongs, and even using pipes.

I had no idea that marijuana now came in so many different forms that I had a ten page pamphlet to read. I couldn’t believe that medical marijuana was so much different than recreational marijuana. When I was a kid, we made brownies and other edibles, but we didn’t have a special distillate to use that doesn’t make the brownies taste like pot. You still had the effects of the medical marijuana, but without the taste. When my therapist and I decided it was time to try medical marijuana for my nervous disorder, I thought I would get some weed, pack it in cigarette paper and light up. He chuckled at my naivete about the many forms of medical marijuana. I ended up with a marijuana lotion for the pain in my hands and feet. I had a distillate concentrate I could use when cooking. I also had a medical marijuana vape pen and cartridges. I was interested in getting weed so I could smoke, but my husband thought we should do a bit more research and just take a few things first. I was like a kid in a candy store, and I wanted to try everything. When we got home, my husband went online, and he found a recipe for peanut butter cups that was infused with the medical marijuana distillate. Medical marijuana has changed how I feel and how I cook for my husband and I.

When I signed up for a medical marijuana card, I was ready to try anything.

My mental health problems had reached an impasse and I was desperate for whatever help that I could find for functioning during the day.

The prescription medications I tried were only helpful for a few weeks, after which I started experiencing bad side-effects eclipsing the original symptoms of my core mental health condition. The lethargy and exhaustion became so much that I was drinking a pot of coffee a day to stay awake and functioning at work. At that point I was experiencing so much anxiety from the coffee that I realized what I had done, leaving me frustrated and angry. Even though marijuana is still sedating, it’s nice being able to use sativa strains during the morning and afternoon hours because they keep me focused, energetic, creative, and exhaustion-free. For the longest time I had switched over to sativa concentrates, but now I’m going back to medical marijuana flower again for a few weeks at least because of the cost difference. I find that I can get much higher for much longer by using quality cannabis flowers. With many other things in life, you get what you pay for, at least in regards to what dispensaries you shop at. Some marijuana stores will happily sell you dried out and stale flower buds, whereas another weed store would never think of sending bad quality like that out the door.
