The wild and wonderful world of weed

I was a late bloomer when it came to cannabis.

In high school I was a straight edge, and never messed around with smoking or drinking at all. When I got to college I was quickly seduced by the wild nightlife, at which point I started smoking and drinking to excess. That lasted until I flunked out of school and had to get a banal job in an office. I don’t drink very much these days, I quit smoking tobacco, and I only do hard drugs on special occasions. However, the older I get the more of an appreciation I have for cannabis. This truly is a wonder drug, a plant with medicinal properties that also expands the mind’s eye and offers a host of mental health advantages. Cannabis changed my life for the better. Some people don’t like the feeling of being stoned, and so they avoid using any form of cannabis, much to their detriment. There are actually hundreds of amazing cannabis products that have no psychoactive properties, and won’t make you feel high at all. Some of these products are also smokeless, so you can have an edible or a gummy that has CBD oil instead of THC in it. I never use any of these cannabis products, because I love getting stoned, but I appreciate the fact they exist. The wide and wonderful world of weed has something for everyone, so I suggest you visit your local cannabis dispensary and see what they have to offer. Just ask one of the budtenders, and I guarantee they will want to help you.

Cannabis coffee? I didn’t know it existed!

My office has the worst coffee.

  • The bosses are required by law to have a break room, but they don’t offer much extra.

There is a coffee machine, and the bosses provide filters, sugar packets, and generic ground coffee. It doesn’t taste very good but it’s free, so that’s what everyone drinks. Recently, there was a fresh scent in the air, and I realized that someone in these cubicles had started bringing in fancy coffee. I followed my nose back to Brenda, in accounting, who confided in me that she was making cannabis infused coffee at home before coming to work. It was a new product at the cannabis dispensary, a Columbian ground dark roast coffee infused with THC and CBD. Brenda was comfortable with telling me this because she knew I was a regular cannabis user. We had discussed it several times in the past. She bribed me, and brought me a mug of cannabis coffee the next day on the condition that it be our little secret. I promised to never tell anyone. This was an easy promise to make, because I have a big crush on Brenda. Not only is she cool with cannabis, but she is funny and has amazing thighs. The cannabis coffee just brings me one step closer to shooting my shot and asking her out. By the way, the cannabis infused coffee was delightful, and got me really stoned for the entire morning in the office. No wonder Brenda is always so cheerful at work, this cannabis coffee packs a mighty powerful punch.

Fun ways to smoke marijuana

Variety is the spice of life, the saying goes.

This is absolutely true, because doing the same thing, the same way, for too long takes all the joy out of it.

I don’t believe I will ever get bored with smoking weed and getting stoned, but just to be safe I like to mix it up and try new things sometimes. As much as I love to roll a joint, I do get tired of joints sometimes. I have a lovely glass pipe I rely on for smoking weed in the car, but that gets a little boring sometimes, too. This is why I have developed a bunch of fun ways to smoke cannabis, to keep it fresh and interesting for myself. Smoking cannabis is about relaxing and having fun, so if I don’t make it fun, then what’s the point? One thing I like to do with lower-quality strains of cannabis is to use a gravity bong in the kitchen sink. This provides the maximum impact for low-tier marijuana, and guarantees a wicked high. Another fun way to smoke cannabis is using butter knives heated on a hot plate or a stove. This is basically a ghetto version of a vaporizer, and smashing a little nug of cannabis between two red-hot knives is a fun and powerful way of smoking out. Once I made a six-foot bong out of PVC pipes and brass fittings, and that was a big hit at parties, because everyone had a blast taking cannabis rips from such a huge contraption. But it’s too big to smoke by myself!

His wife hid his cannabis from him

She never gave all the marijuana to Jeff, though, just one little bud at a time

I want to share a story with you that has a very valuable lesson. It is about my best friend Jeff and his wife Becky. I have known Jeff for over 20 years, since before either one of us got married or had children. All that time, Jeff and I have both been rabid potheads. We smoke every single day, no matter what. We live in different states now, and only see each other a few times a year, but remain as close as ever. There was a time when Jeff ran out of cannabis, and had no way of getting any for another week. His wife Becky magically produces a big, fat cannabis bud and gives it to him. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to get high for a day or two. It turns out that whenever Jeff got a fresh bag of cannabis, Becky would steal a bud or two from it. Jeff never noticed that any was missing, and Becky would hide that extra cannabis in a secret spot. Then when Jeff was out of cannabis she had a little treat to tide him over. Brilliant, right? It turns out Becky had been doing this for a few months, and had several grams of cannabis tucked away. She never gave all the marijuana to Jeff, though, just one little bud at a time. Since I learned about this trick, which I call “The Becky” I have asked my wife to hide a little bit of cannabis from me, just in case. It’s good to know there is an emergency supply of cannabis hidden somewhere.

Cancer treatments made better thanks to medical marijuana

It’s so weird the way I reacted to hearing the news that I had cancer. It sort of sunk in right away and I was immediately ready to commit my whole being to beating it. And that’s before I figured out how to get a medical marijuana card. There was something that just clicked inside my brain that said it was time to fight. I was surprised that I wasn’t all that surprised. For sure, I didn’t think the problem was cancer. But I knew for sure that there was a problem and that it could be serious. Actually, just knowing allowed to shed the doubt and move on to working toward remission. My doctor made figuring out how to get a medical marijuana card super easy. On top of that, she got the process underway immediately. She wanted me to for sure have access to the legal weed store so I could deal with the chemo treatments more effectively. The idea is that the cannabis gummies that I was to take would provide a number of medical marijuana benefits. First, the cannabis gummies that I was sold at the legal weed store would help with the inherent nausea that comes with chemotherapy. But even more, the cannabis gummies would help me to be hungry and have an appetite. This too was crucial because healing happens a lot easier when feeding the body natural, good foods. But I was also very pleased to get a sense of perspective and even a confidence when treating with the cannabis gummies. These days, I’m in remission and I did beat cancer. I have to give credit to the folks at the cannabis dispensary and to medical cannabis itself.

Medical cannabis calms Alzheimer's patient

I was quite impressed which led me to start reading more about medical marijuana benefits.

It’s really been tough seeing my dad decline the way he has over the last couple of years. But then again, the man is 87 years old. And he was in really fine shape until just after his 85th birthday. And then, it’s been a downward spiral into dementia. At least now, I have medical marijuana for him which has made a tremendous difference in his quality of life. For sure, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s. Medical marijuana is not going to bring dad back to his former lucid state. But what the cannabis products do help with has made such a difference from my dad. Prior to starting with the cannabis gummies I get at the cannabis dispensary, dad could get pretty terrified. He’d find himself in such utter confusion that he would become overwhelmed which led right into panic. And from there, it was a terrible time of she fright and terror that he had to endure. But with the medical cannabis, that has changed. I started looking into the medical marijuana benefits for my dad after reading a very good piece with lots of medical marijuana facts. I was quite impressed which led me to start reading more about medical marijuana benefits. I ended up with quite a cannabis education and was convinced that figuring out how to get a medical marijuana card for dad would be helpful. Well, it’s been a bit more than helpful as my old man is no longer terrified and far, far more calm when the confusion sets in. And really, that’s all I want for him. I just want this guy to have the best quality of life he can get as he gets closer to the end of his life.

Recreational marijuana dispensaries are fun to visit.

When you go to a recreational marijuana dispensary after only seeing medical marijuana facilities, it’s interesting.

I had never been in a recreational marijuana dispensary until I went to visit my cousin.

She moved when we were kids, and I had only seen her a handful of times over the last twenty years. We used to be best friends, and when I heard she was getting married and wanted me at the wedding as a bridesmaid, it surprised me. A part of me was excited to see her again, but another part of me was anxious. I didn’t know what she was like anymore. I lived openly and loved being around people. I smoked pot even though recreational marijuana wasn’t yet legal. She may be one of those people who doesn’t like pot. My mom told me I had to go to the wedding, and I left one week early so I could get my dress fitted. My cousin met me at the plane and I couldn’t help but scream and hug her. She hugged me back, then leaned back to look at my eyes. She asked if I had changed and I said no while asking if she had. Once we were in the car, she asked I minded if she stopped at the marijuana dispensary on the way home. I didn’t realize they had legal, recreational marijuana in her area. She laughed when she saw my face light up. Recreational marijuana dispensaries are more fun to shop in than medical marijuana dispensaries.She was happy that I hadn’t changed over the years. The week leading up to the wedding was so much fun.
