I only have good things to say about the trip

I can confirm that it was the greatest trip ever. In fact I feel as though it was too short – only 5 days when I wish it could have been a month long. Like with all the best trips of my life, it was a beach trip. When I get the rare opportunity to […]

Cannabis on the beach

Long before we had medical cannabis in this state, I would still love to get high at the beach. Because of the tides and the wind and the wide-open spaces, it was easy to smoke weed on the shoreline and not get caught. The wind always disperses the smoke so quickly I could be smoking […]

The greatest vacation ever

I have to say that was the greatest vacation of my life. It was too short – only four days, when I wish it could have been four weeks! Like with all the best vacations of my life, it happened on the shore. When I get that rare opportunity to escape my day-to-day life I […]

Membership has its rewards at the cannabis shop

It seems like every store now has its own “membership rewards” program. In general I don’t like these things, because I have to fill out a form, and then carry a card that they scan at checkout. I don’t need another card to carry around! Last week I was at the pharmacy, and decided to […]

A unique hybrid strain of cannabis called Two Wolves

Every weekend my pals and I like to go to the Res to have fun. The Res is what we call the local Native American tribal reservation. A couple hundred years ago the US government settled with the indigenous people, and ceded them some land. What’s interesting to me is that the Res, and all […]

The benefits of being a member of the dispensary

Membership has its privileges – I remember that from an old TV commercial, but I can’t remember what it was for. I only think about it in terms of the local cannabis concern, where I have joined their exclusive club called Cannabis-plus. I was reluctant to join at first, because there is a monthly surcharge […]

Friendly competition amongst cannabis dispensaries

Back when I sold weed out of the back of my car, competition was fierce. I was one of 20 or 30 people locally who sold cannabis, and we all protected our client lists and our territory. I actually carried a gun at the time, not because I thought my customers would rob me, but […]

Hiring a new staff of budtenders

I do expect them to do as I do, and never be high while working at the cannabis shop. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. This is a phrase I have on the wall over my office door, because it keeps me focused. This is my store, and it’s a great […]

Working part time at the local dispensary

For a town this small, my area has a lot of museums and art galleries, thanks to the highly-cultured nature of many of our tourists I had a very rural upbringing. My family lands were so far removed from the rest of the world we didn’t even have a school district. I had to be […]

Came to the dispensary

I met Ed over social media, and within a few weeks my associate and I were calling or Facetiming each other every night. They call this sort of thing a “whirlwind romance” and in our case it led to moving in together undoubtedly quickly. Too quickly, it turns out! Ed seemed good over long distance, […]
