Ever since recreational marijuana was legalized in our state, I’ve seen a lot more of my old college buddies than I ever have.
I’m in my mid 40’s and live in a town that’s very near the border of our state.
Our town has several cannabis dispensaries that are open to anyone as long as their of age. My state started out with just medical marijuana but I think the windfall in tax revenue was just too much to pass up for the state government. So now, we are in about year 3 of having recreational marijuana and marijuana for sale to anyone of age. When this happened, I got all sorts of pings on social media about getting together with folks who were passing through to buy marijuana products where I live. I’ve used recreational marijuana but not a whole lot since college. But when I got a message from a wonderful old friend who I thought I had lost track of, I actually encouraged her to come to my local cannabis spot. We met up the night before and had a lovely dinner. The next day, I had lots of cool stuff planned that was mellow and showed the natural beauty of this area. We started off with a good breakfast at my favorite spot. Then it was a trip to my local cannabis spot where my friend was able to find the hybrid strain for sale that she was looking for. I got us a few edibles for the day. The rest of the weekend was just bliss. We rekindled what was a great relationship 20 something years ago and I’m excited to see what happens going forward.
