It had been a very long time since I had used any sort of recreational marijuana.
I mean, like almost 30 years since I last smoked weed in college.
But there I was standing inside the cannabis dispensary talking to one of the bud tenders. Being inside a marijuana dispensary was part of the new approach I’m taking to living my life. The old approach just was going to end up putting me in an early grave. At 50, I was right where I had hoped to be with my career. But that came with far too much time spent only working. The results of all that time working meant that I didn’t really pay the sort of attention to my wellness and health that I should have. So with my 50th birthday came a present to myself. I chose to start a holistic health regimen and I’m getting some help in doing just that. I have a colleague who suggested that I try out her holistic teacher in an effort to get some balance in my life and improve my health. The first thing I thought was this was going to be a bunch of nonsense about stuff I didn’t believe in. This could not have been further from what I found. My teacher is just as down to earth and real as anybody else I know. But she is the sort who simply radiates peace, balance and joy. One of her first suggestions was to get myself to the legal weed store. Recreational marijuana is legal here and so getting access to the cannabis dispensary wasn’t a problem. And now, I’m just excited to see what comes next!
