I give my girlfriend a lot of credit for always trying to make sure I’m having a good time on my birthdays.
When I was 15, I was hit by a car on my bike just a few days before my birthday.
I was in a dentist’s office for the entire day on my birthday while getting oral surgery on the teeth that were knocked out. After that trauma, I had issues related to my birthday every single year. Something was always out of place or I was disappointed for one reason or another. No matter what I planned for my birthdays, it always felt like there was an ominous specter hanging over me. But my current girlfriend has changed that. For the past three years straight, she has made it a priority that I have a good birthday. This year she made me a strong batch of pot brownies for my 35th birthday party. She tricked me on the potency because she used basic cannabutter for the brownies while she put RSO from a syringe directly into the frosting on the brownies. They were so strong that I was knocked out cold at night when I ate two at a time. I woke up 10 hours later in a total haze. They’re probably the strongest cannabis edibles I’ve ever consumed, so I have to hand it to my girlfriend and her baking skills. She threw me for a loop by putting RSO in the frosting, as I would have never suspected a strong cannabis oil product on top of the cannabutter that we make ourselves from cannabis flower buds.
