They update their stock regularly

I enjoy it when our preferred bakery adds new items to its packed shelves.

Even though I enjoy eating everything they have available, it’s always nice to try new kinds of bread, cakes, pies, rolls, cookies, & other delectable treats for a change. Granted, I should be spending less cash on these kinds of things, but at least I try to utilize the fresh bread to make sandwiches for my task everyday. I could easily do without regularly eating cake or cookies for a while though. If I don’t begin losing weight & getting more healthy, I fear I’ll develop onset diabetes with our new nasty eating habits. Surprisingly, I find that a lot of marijuana products tend to suppress our hunger instead of driving it. I think it’s cannabis sativa strains that often do this more than indica or hybrid strains, easily because the sativas are so energizing, by nature. And like coffee, it seems like any kind of stimulant makes me forget for a while that I haven’t eaten. But if I switch to an indica later on in the night, all bets are certainly off. Because of needing access to the best sativas I can find, I enjoy that our most preferred cannabis dispensary regularly has new marijuana products whenever I stop there regularly to option up an online order. Yesterday they had an assortment of fresh edibles in the building that smelled amazing. The aroma hits your face the minute you walk through the front door of the place. I had to muster drastic self-control to not buy a bunch of pot brownies or weed cookies right away. I’ll just end up eating them too rapidly & getting too intoxicated in the process.

The brownies are still the best

To this very day, classic pot brownies are our preferred kind of cannabis edible

Since I’ve regularly considered myself more of a hobbiest cook rather than a baker, I am pushing myself to get better at the latter. I recently ordered a new standmixer for our entryway & I’ve been using it for a whole host of delightful odd dishes & treats. Last night I made a batch of biscuits from scratch & tonight I’m planning on making pizza dough for the first time ever. I spent our lunch split at task this week carefully searching the internet for recipes & after that I picked up the ingredients from the best grocery store on our way home. But I wanted to get more than just flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, & spices. I had a dessert in mind that required getting brown sugar & cocoa powder. I’m a big brownie fan, however I had never tried to make them in my own kitchen from scratch before. If everything goes according to plan, I will be making a heavy batch of brownies after our pizza is finished cooking. But I’m not just making any kind of delicious brownies, I’m making brownies infused with high THC marijuana oil. To this very day, classic pot brownies are our preferred kind of cannabis edible. I was going out and buying them from the dispensary when I realized that I could get an affordable syringe of high THC cannabis distillate oil to make them at the house while saving a ton of cash in the process. Usually I get a batch of store bought plain old brownie mix, but I’m excited to be making the brownies from scratch tonight for a change.

There are a ton of uses, you know

When I was in undergraduate school I studied a ton of psychology & philosophy.

Both disciplines were extremely helpful for our work, & I definitely wouldn’t trade our education for any other degree. But if I was going back again to undergraduate school, I would easily learn chemistry this time around. I guess I just have such a fascination with psychoactive medications & how they affect the human brain. Even if chemistry has nothing to do with our work, it’s the personal interest somewhat driving our desire to learn the discipline more at length. I think the physiology of the human brain & the effects from drugs is an amazing field of study, especially as all of us currently face a global mental health crisis. It’s not that I think everyone should take a whole host of drugs for potential psychological issues, but a lot of people who don’t easily need to do all of that. And if someone doesn’t like prescription medications that doctors will most typically prescribe, they could regularly go the natural & holistic route. A lot of modern people get amazing benefits from consuming cannabis in 1 of its several administrative methods. Even if a man doesn’t like the system of smoking cannabis flower products for the sake of their lungs, they could obtain a tincture to put under their tongue or a capsule to put in their stomach for digestion. Some even use topicals like cream, lotion, & skin patches. Best of all, you know some people combine traditional drug therapy with holistics like cannabis & natural plant based psychedelics to great effects. You don’t have to commit to 1 or the other, but they all improve the effects of 1 another in chemical synergy.

I order ahead for ease

Despite the mask rules that are inside the dispensaries, they are tightly enclosed spaces & the whole pandemic is still raging in our state

Many of our friends & family members are taking advantage of the online ordering plan with grocery stores. At first I think it was just those who were the most at risk for catching the virus & having issues, but nowadays nearly everyone I feel is using online ordering whenever they don’t have to pay exorbitant delivery fees to get house delivery. Otherwise some locales let you make a minimum order & then wait in your car while an employee brings your bags out to you. Usually these modern curbside pickup options are free, but every supplier makes their own rules. This certainly is what I do more often than not, simply because I still have to be out each day, stupidly driving to task & back. I utilize this option even if I stop at a fast food establishment, since nearly all of them have smartphone apps that give you an opportunity to make curbside pickup orders without ever stopping and going inside or pulling into a drive-thru. Thankfully all of the local cannabis dispensaries have even adopted these practices. Even the 1s who still don’t have dedicated iPhone apps will generally use online ordering systems within their websites. Despite the mask rules that are inside the dispensaries, they are tightly enclosed spaces & the whole pandemic is still raging in our state. It’s a lot easier & less stressful to order your cannabis edibles & flower products online, and that’s what I do every time I need more high quality medical or recreational marijuana products for my pandemic anxiety and insomnia.

 

I order ahead for ease

I’m ordering out – for weed

I feel bad for all of the people in the eating supplier business after COVID hit last year.

All of the eating establishments in our area had few available choices, they had to shut down in-person dining & instead switch to carry out custom orders or house delivery.

This isn’t as simple as it sounds, especially if you previously had neither of these services in locale before the pandemic hit. You would no doubt have to pay to update your supplier’s ordering plan inside your point of repair software. For those businesses that managed the transition, it no doubt involved sitting off or furloughing a lot of nice, hard working people. However, at least some of these people found new positions particularly working in delivery programs for other companies like grocery stores & even clothing depos. I feel that the state’s marijuana companies have all moved to regularly doing mostly curbside pickup & house delivery. I was surprised when the local recreational cannabis store started offering free house delivery last week, as they had indicated before that they had no supposed plans to do this. It’s nice knowing that I can get our orders delivered to our family beach house from this particular recreational cannabis store because now I don’t actually have to get in our car & drive there for curbside pickup. Yesterday I got a delivery of delightful CBD oil & high THC cannabis edibles. In our last order I got multiple jars of dried cannabis flower products that I’m still particularly working on.

 

Sativa

There’s plenty to learn

I’m trying to convince our buddy to try cannabis for his own sake.

He had to have back surgery & he’s in a lot of pain everyday.

Unfortunately, he is outright refusing to take the prescription painkillers that the doctor in the hospital prescribed for him to manage it. I understand where he’s coming from, but he’s writhing in pain in defiance of pills. That’s when I decided to have a talk with him about our cannabis use. He certainly knows that I’ve been using cannabis ever since all of us met each other in school many years ago, however he has never had any interest in trying the plant. I have been telling him basically from day 1 that it’s a better drug to use recreationally than alcohol… and he didn’t care. I think it had something to do with the illegality of the substance, or it was simply a preconceived bias against its use. Whatever the reason, our buddy never honestly wanted to use cannabis no matter how often I provided. Since he doesn’t want to regularly use opiates to treat his pain, I urged him to study more about marijuana on modern cannabis dispensary websites. Many of the marijuana stores have big, well designed web pages devoted to FAQs regarding cannabis & cannabis use. After a single week of continued pain, our buddy relented & called me begging that I bring a batch of cannabis over him to try. I was happy & dropped everything to drive to his entire house. He was having a muscle spasm & was in rough shape. After he took a few small drags off the marijuana joint I rolled, he relaxed into the couch but said little. A few long minutes went by & he looked at me directly & said that he has literally never felt more relieved in his entire life.

 

THC content

The concentrates can be hard

If you’re not careful about alcohol levels in your mixed drinks, you know you could end up getting a lot more intoxicated than what you expect.

I definitely feel that for alcoholics, this is desirable.

But if you’re anything like me, you certainly have a line with booze that you don’t like to cross. It’s not like I’m afraid of getting too easily intoxicated, as I often do with cannabis if I’ve had particularly stressful do. Alcohol, I find, in particular has a habit of giving me diminished returns when I increase the amount that I try to consume in a single sitting. I don’t like drinking enough to the point where I get tons of spins, so I will either stick with beer at its lower ABV or I simply stop at a single drink with a bit stronger liquor. Although I like getting intoxicated with cannabis if I’m having a taxing day, I’d rather get to that point gradually. Today’s cannabis flower products give me an entourage effect & a sense of control over exactly how high I get with the plant. Don’t get me wrong, I like cannabis concentrates with their extremely high THC satisfied, but sometimes it can be jarring to get too high in a mere matter of minutes instead of minutes. Think about it like this—most cannabis flower products these days have a THC satisfied that is anywhere between 15% & 30%. Cannabis concentrates on the other hand, often have between 60% & 95% THC inside. That’s a sizable change in each hit you take off your vaporizer or pipe as you’re consuming it. I’d still rather consume something with less THC than actual cannabis concentrates.

The education paid off

When I was in school, our roommate was a dedicated math student while I was taking humanities classes.

The two of us got along in our situation particularly well despite our differing academic interests, largely because all of us both listened to a lot of the same 90s alternative rock bands. Since I wisely brought our stereo with me to school our first year, all of us often blasted songs together whenever all of us were both back at our room after classes had finished for the long day. The two of us also liked a lot of the same books, movies, & cable shows. On top of all of that, all of us ended up in the same buddy group of students that lived in the local residence hall on campus. One of the things that all of us all did together from the very beginning of our particularly first year was smoke cannabis on the “off-limits” upstairs balcony of our dormitory hall. We’d all contribute a little bit of weed & whoever was going to be the best roller would make a big joint or blunt. Back then cannabis was still highly illegal in our state & all of us were years away from getting cannabis dispensaries. Despite this fact, I later found out that our roommate was switching to a botany degree from the original physics because he wanted to become a cannabis grower. By the time all of us finally finished undergraduate school, our state finally had legal medical marijuana. Whenever 1 of the first marijuana companies was hiring growers, our old roommate got a new place to work. Right now he’s the head of cultivation for 1 of our state’s biggest and best known marijuana producers. He tells me that several of the other top growers in the pot industry followed a similar route as he did by getting botany degrees in local undergraduate school.

I get my work done each day

Since I task from my own house for hours everyday, I need something to keep our brain focused & body energized to be on task.

This is the reason why I drink so much pop from early day until the late afternoon each day.

Drinking pop has been a bi-weekly ritual for me ever since I honestly was a teenager. It’s taxing for me to imagine a world where I didn’t have immediate access to caffeine of some kind on a daily basis, simply to function normally. But as much as I enjoy pop & the caffeine it generally contains, there are days where it aggravates existing anxiety or depression issues if you aren’t paying attention. It’s a superb line with depression, because the first cup of the day feels like a heavy antidepressant, whereas the last cup of the day sometimes feels like the exact opposite. When I found cannabis sativa strains, I felt like I finally found the missing ingredient to fix our bi-weekly life. Unlike indica strains, sativa strains are characteristically more positively stimulating mentally & are great for staying focused in the day & afternoon minutes. They’re definitely more psychoactive while indica strains are more sedating. If I’m going to personally use any sort of marijuana before lunch time, I will regularly reach for a high concentrate sativa if I have 1 available. Between drinking pop & vaporizing cannabis sativa flower products in my day, I have a great bi-weekly regimen for getting as much done as I possibly can whenever I’m tied up in our house office.

The medical ones are better though

For years our state tried and failed to easily pass a law legalizing medical marijuana.

All of us watched in envy and jealousy as we watched dozens of other states in the nation started enacting their own laws, usually as brand new voter initiatives for constitutional amendments or legislative propositions.

Whenever I started using cannabis in school, I was made to act like I was a criminal wherever I personally went with cannabis in our possession. I was a nice student for our entire life, and that’s true even while I was using cannabis. In addition to that, I never had a criminal record with the state of any kind. But back after that I could have ended up with 1 had I ever been easily busted by the police with cannabis in our motorcar while in a traffic stop for instance. Still, I realized the opportunity cost for using cannabis versus not using cannabis pointed in favor of the former. Marijuana changed our life for the better, and I owe it a great deal for showing myself and others how more than 2 psychological complications I definitely had and was a catalyst for myself and others getting therapy for the first time, too. All of these years of laboring on our mental health could have been delayed very easily had marijuana not intervened on our brain and our psyche. Thankfully modern medical marijuana was passed in our state shortly after I finished school. I found I could finally walk into a store and purchase cannabis edibles and pre-rolled joints safely and perfectly legally on any afternoon of the week, regardless of the month or week. All of us kept our medical cannabis program which a lot of it is higher quality right now than our recreational cannabis.
