Although my neighbor Jimbo and I don’t see eye to eye on many issues, we have still become fast friends thanks to pot. You know the old rule of thumb about not discussing religion or politics at the dinner table? Jimbo and I apply that rule to ourselves at all times, otherwise we end up […]

Aunt Pat lived in the foothills, about a twenty minute drive from town. She lived far enough out that she had all the peace and quiet she could handle, but was still close enough that she could drive for her groceries and make it here for family gatherings. I always wondered why we only ever […]

The first time I saw my grandmother roll up a joint was when our relationship really started. Like most grandma’s she was nice, polite, but very reserved. I always thought she was kind of boring, until I found her on the back porch. I didn’t say anything at first. I was 16 and prone to […]

I have to credit the COVID pandemic for allowing me to pivot my life and go in a new direction. Looking back, I’m not sure if I ever wanted to be a lawyer, or if that was what was wanted for me. My dad and both my brothers are lawyers, so that seemed like the […]

The last manager got fired over the iPhone, directly in front of me. It was bananas! Gary & I were closing up for the day when his iPhone rang. It was our regional manager, calling from Seattle, & when I answered she informed myself that she was about to fire Gary, but not to say […]

Have you seen the modern girl down at the cannabis dispensary? Her name is Luka, & she is certainly dreamy, normally I don’t do this sort of thing, but I think the next time I see Luka I will just give him our number & tell him to call me. I have been playing it […]

Long before the legal cannabis dispensaries started offering delivery, I was doing it from our rusty old van. This was over 20 years ago, so there were no legal dispensaries at that point. I was an independent operator, let’s call it, who was trying to labor hard & save up money for our growing family […]

Although our neighbor Jim & I don’t see eye to eye on things, every one of us have still become close friends thanks to smoking pot. You guess the seasoned rule of thumb about not discussing religion or politics at the lunch table? Jim & I apply this rule to ourselves at all times, otherwise […]
