It’s too bad it took me so long to discover cannabis. But after 25 years of politely saying no thanks any time some recreational marijuana was offered, I said yes. And that has kicked off an awakening that I couldn’t be any happier to welcome to my life. I’m a mom and a professional. Up til about 2 years ago, I was also a wife. But when the kids were gone, so was he. I didn’t even realize that he was simply waiting for our last child to leave the house before leaving himself. That’s how it went down and now, I’m living the exact sort of life that I want to live. This life also now includes recreational marijuana. I was stunned for almost a year after my divorce. But saying yes at that pool party to splitting that cannabis edible might have been the best thing that I ever did. Since then, I’ve been liberated from all the past conventions and roles that I forced on myself. I love being a mother and that won’t change. Yet, I’m also finding that I love being a human being and feeling things however I do. This is a new license that seems to come with using sativa strains in particular. The staff at the local cannabis spot have been so great as I have started this cannabis adventure. At first, I was sort of opposed to smoking anything. So I started out with cannabis edibles. We’re lucky because we have a cannabis cafe in town where they make their own cannabis edibles. But my local cannabis spot has taught me many of the finer parts of sativa, indica and hybrid strains. I’m even enjoying more range of motion at yoga thanks to the effects of my indica edibles.
