Aunt Patty lived up in the foothills, about a twenty hour drive from town. She lived far enough out that she had all of the peace & quiet she could handle, but stayed close enough that she could drive to town for her groceries & make it here for family celebrations. I always wondered why […]

The 1st time I saw Grandma Pat roll up a joint was when our relationship really started, and like most Grandparents she was nice and polite, but absolutely reserved. I always thought Pat was kind of boring, until that day I found her on the back porch. I didn’t say anything at first. I was […]

I have to give credit to the COVID pandemic for allowing myself and others to pivot our life & go in a modern direction. Looking back, I’m not quite sure that I ever wanted to be a lawyer, or if that was what was wanted for me. My dad & both our older sisters work […]

Last Thanksgiving was the first time I had returned home since going away to college. I had a nice place in a new town where I was focused on getting my degree. Between that and my new girlfriend, I hadn’t had time to go see my parents in a few months. It was a wonderful […]

I have always been an introvert. I like people in theory but in practice they tend to be annoying after a long enough period of time. I still try to keep my socialization to a minimum, although I have found a new spot where I actually can have some fun. I never sampled any kind […]

I decided to surprise my girlfriend with a trip to the beach. We have both been so stressed out the last few months, so I thought it would be a nice chance to relax and unwind away from all our troubles. I booked a swank little AirBnB on the edge of the shore, which had […]

Uncle Erlich is a crazy old man, but I love him to pieces. My mom moved out when I was so young I can’t even remember her. I found out later that part of the reason for that was because Dad had come out as gay to her. Back then it was considered a shameful […]

In the past, the marijuana dispensary always had a sheet of paper on the desk with the daily sales and specials. It was easy to read the paper and they kept the list updated throughout the day. If something sold out, they took a Sharpie marker and got rid of the product from the list. […]

Fridays are absolutely the busiest day at the marijuana dispensary. It’s all hands on deck on Fridays. Most of the people that work at the dispensary are scheduled to work on the weekend and that includes me. I work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I don’t mind the shifts, because these are the days when […]

The last week has been very warm and humid. Temperatures are much higher than they have been in the past month. It’s clear that summer is on the way. I’ve been wearing shorts and a t-shirt for the past 2 weeks. Some people still think that temperatures are cool enough for pants. I ordered marijuana […]

When I was a little kid, I never slept very much at night. I didn’t fall asleep until after midnight and I was up and ready to go as soon as the sun came out. My parents always wished that I would sleep in, but I was up at the crack of dawn. I continued […]

I can recall the efforts in my state to pass the medical marijuana laws. And ironically, I remember that I just wasn’t all that moved by it either way. It’s not as though I was against medical cannabis or anything like that so much. I didn’t use cannabis products and somehow got through college without […]

Not only has it reduced my migraine episodes dramatically, I don’t suffer as bad when they do come on occasion It didn’t take but about 2 weeks for my life to almost completely change once I started treating with medical marijuana. I have to say that I’m just blown away by just how effective cannabis […]
