We were all geared up for the big annual trip to celebrate another Christmas holiday with my husband’s deranged family. As Jed and I were headed out of town, I asked Jed to pull over for a stop at the local cannabis shop. Jed and I are so lucky to live in a locale where my pal and I have legal access to recreational marijuana. After medicinal marijuana proved to be such a roaring success, recreational marijuana was a no brainer for the state legislature. Recreational marijuana possession and access to cannabis dispensaries has now been OK for a few years. So why it finally dawned on me to bring a supply of cannabis products for the annual Christmas trip is a total mystery. I should have been doing this all along. My in laws are okay but tend to be intense. The family is all quite loud, combative as well as a bit passive aggressive to boot. It still boggles my mind how my sweet husband Jed shares DNA with those folks. So having a pocketful of cannabis edibles as well as a small, disposable cannabis oil pen is now essential for those trips. I tend to use sativa strains or sativa dominant hybrid strains for these kinds of intense situations. This kind of cannabis product helps me just grin as well as let things roll off my back. Indeed, I can simply allow those people to behave the way that they do as well as not take it so personally thanks to the amazing sativa strains. Now, if I could just get my in laws to join in on my cannabis use, I’d easily have something going on. I don’t assume there was ever a bunch of people more in need of some killer sativa.
