I think I had some real hangups when I was first introduced to recreational marijuana.

That had everything to do with where my head was about cannabis back then. I grew up in a very small, rural and religious community. Cannabis was referred to the devil’s weed and there was no tongue and cheek to that reference. Weed was evil and that’s all there was to it. So when I went off to a college in a big city, I was unprepared for the eventuality of an offer to share some recreational marijuana. Of course, I declined and then, I immediately bolted from that party. While I was still sure that cannabis was evil, I knew for a fact that it was illegal. And for me, that meant no way was I even getting near any sativa or indica. That’s the way it was for me for a long time. However, I started to learn more about the facts when it comes to cannabis products. This came about during the period when medical marijuana was first being introduced in our state. It was a rousing success and there were so many who were suffering that finally got relief from the cannabis products they needed. Ultimately, that led to recreational marijuana being legalized. I knew now that there was nothing evil about a plant and recreational marijuana was legal. So it suddenly dawned on me that I could be free to stick my head into the local cannabis spot just to see what it was all about. I did just that and I’m so glad that I did. I have found that I really like the sativa strains. So now, I have a supply sitting right inside my fridge.
