I work for myself as a sort of consultant.
That doesn’t fully describe what I do because my services can be applied to a corporate structure or one individual.
And I go where the work takes me. About six months ago, that work took me to a marijuana business. I wasn’t at the marijuana business to provide services but rather at the local cannabis cafe. This was the place I was meeting a client for the first time after an initial consultation over the cellphone. The cannabis cafe was the client’s suggestion and I was truly surprised to realize that this was indeed a marijuana business. The prospective client met me at the door and we walked inside the cannabis cafe. I was right away hit with a wall of beautiful stinks. The coffee, the pastries and the desserts were all blended together. But I truly certainly had to close my eyes to get a hint of marijuana, then virtually everything they make there is some form of cannabis edible. And these edibles aren’t your icky pot brownies from school. These are exquisitely made marijuana edibles that are romanticly hand made on the premises. I didn’t partake in any cannabis products while in the meeting. But I did care about some of the best Pepsi I’ve ever tasted. The meeting went well and we ended up doing some business together, and yet, I feel the biggest positive to come out of that meeting was finding this local cannabis cafe. I took my husband there one Saturday day and we found a nice little cafe table under a big oak tree. The sun was perfect as we shared a cannabis edible muffin. It was such an appealing day that we took our leftovers and walked hand in hand to the park.
