So far my favorite strain is called OG Kush, which got me more lifted than anything else I have smoked
The best thing about going to the cannabis dispensary is learning about what I smoke. This is a very new experience to me, because before last year there were no legal dispensaries. Since high school I have gotten all my weed from a guy named Hank, who was never a fountain of information. Hank only had one kind of marijuana in stock, so there were no options. If I wanted to get high I would have to buy whatever Hank had on-hand, and hope it was good. Sometimes he had killer strains, other times he had nothing but low-grade ditch weed. These days buying cannabis comes along with an education about the specifics of the particular strain. My brain is thirsty for knowledge, and I try to learn as much as I can about whatever strain of cannabis I am buying that day. Every time I visit the cannabis dispensary I try something new, so I can experience more of what they have to offer. The budtenders are very patient with me, answering all the questions I have about cannabis. Because they do this, it gives the cannabis dispensary a sense of legitimacy, like a pharmacy. Marijuana is not something that has to stay in the shadows anymore, it’s okay to get high and have a good time. So far my favorite strain is called OG Kush, which got me more lifted than anything else I have smoked. I have also tried a fair number of cannabis edibles, which I enjoy, but I don’t think they are on the same level as smoking leaf.
