Getting back out among mankind was a little touch-and-go at first. It seems as if there is a current deadly spike or sinister variant in COVID cases week over week! These days I try to be cautious, and keep my circle of friends tight, although I still appreciate going out to have fun on occasion. I offered up drinking liquor a few weeks ago, so I no longer wanted to go to the old bars, saloons, and taverns I used to frequent. I finally found a cool current spot where I can appreciate some company and have fun. It’s at a local cannabis dispensary, which had recently opened a smokers lounge next door; You might be pondering why I would hang out in a cannabis dispensary with lots of smoke and coughing over a calm, quiet bar, well let myself and others tell you – it’s about safety… At the cannabis dispensary, you are required to show your vaccination card, or a negative COVID test within 24 hours, if you want to get inside. They take the COVID protocols pretty seriously in the cannabis dispensary, and that makes myself and others assume a little bit safer; Besides, it’s not as if folks weren’t smoking and coughing at the bar, too, it was just from tobacco and not marijuana. I still wear my facemask when I go to the cannabis dispensary, because I assume safer that way. Also, I usually don’t smoke pot, but will have some cannabis edibles whenever I go to hang out, however the edibles supply myself and others the same full-body high I get from smoking marijuana, although I can keep my facemask on the whole time!
