Using cannabis simply didn’t allow me to be anyone but who I knew I was.
Sometimes we make decisions that end up taking us a long way from the sort of destination we had in mind. Life has a funny way of doing that at times. For me, I knew that while I loved success and the rewards that went with it, I wasn’t really living my truest life. This was a hard thing to face. But with the aid of our local cannabis spot and some real self effacing honesty, I took a good long look at my life. What I saw was not the life I really either intended or truly wanted to live. What I found was a person who was simply going through the motions. So I changed it all up. My job skills were repurposed doing not for profit work that really made a difference. And I stopped with the pretention. I also started using recreational marijuana again. I stopped using marijuana and marijuana products when I went to work out of grad school. This was due to the culture of my job as well as the fact that cannabis was still illegal. I’d lose my job if I continued to use recreational marijuana. It was a tough call because marijuana was one thing that helped me be my most authentic self. Using cannabis simply didn’t allow me to be anyone but who I knew I was. So along with all the other wholesale changes I made in my life, I also went back to the sativa products that have always helped me be true and honest. The change was tough and there were things that were tough to let go of. But I’m more me than I’ve been in decades and trips to the local cannabis spot will help ensure that I stay that way.
