Cannabis helps me to fly easier

When I got a promotion at work, I was really nervous.

The new title required me to travel to meet with potential customers and put on sales pitches. I am an especially poor flyer. I get so stressed that I can barely stand to sit on the plane. I start to get sweaty, jumpy and taking medication only helps so much. I began to think I wouldn’t be able to tolerate all the flying but not every location is driving distance. I debated telling my boss no. Thankfully, I made a trip to the marijuana dispensary and asked for some help. I looked for a product that would relax me and help me be able to fly comfortably. I didn’t want to be impaired in any way, reek of cannabis or not be able to put on an organized presentation hours later. The budtender suggested I vape cannabis oil. I acquired a legal medical marijuana prescription that allows me to carry my vape across state lines without any problems. The vape is wonderfully discrete. It can be concealed under my shirt and be available for me to puff whenever I choose. While waiting for the airport transport, I take the opportunity to puff a few times and hope to get as relaxed as possible. If I have enough time, I look for a smoking lounge where I can take a few hits. By the time I board the plane I feel nicely loose and calm. My favorite strain is heavy in CBD and low in THC. I don’t have any high effects but am soothed and able to get through my plane ride. By the time I land at my destination, the effects have worn off. Vaping marijuana also prevents the smell from getting all over my clothing.

Using topicals to treat aches and pains

For regular aches and pains, there are a lot of remedies you can try. Some people like to use stretching or getting an appointment with a massage therapist to loosen tight muscles. There is the option of heating pads, gels that heat up and taking anti-inflammatory medication. More people are turning to cannabis to alleviate chronic pain. You can smoke to draw the cannabinoids into the system to lessen inflammation and pain. Most people suffering from injuries tend to prefer the many advantages of cannabis topicals though. Not everyone is happy about getting high, especially athletes with injuries. A topical can be any lotion, cream or salve with cannabinoids infused into it. There are even patches that can be applied to the affected area. The topicals can contain CBd or THC or both. The cannabinoids work into the bloodstream by way of the patch and can potentially cause a high sensation. Most often, when a consumer turns to a topical, they are looking for relief. The topical usually includes peppermint or some other cooling property to soothe the muscles. This means that most topicals have a pleasant smell. It is a superior, more intense style of over-the-counter pain relieving gel in my opinion. I prefer using topicals because I am an athlete that experiences daily pain. I have bought a ton of different creams that I use regularly. I have one that I apply in the evenings and another one I usein the morning. I like changing up the style and strength of the topical I use. I don’t feel as if I am using a cannabis product. I don’t ever feel high or have any of the typical marijuana affects. It simply soothes away the aches and helps me get through the day.

Trying out a dab bar

Some people want to get high as quickly as possible.

  • To achieve this, I recommend trying cannabis concentrates rather than oil or flower.

This process takes the marijuana plant down to its chemical essence and extracts as much of the THC content as possible. It is then vaporized by dabbing. How does someone vape concentrate? It is a lot like using a bong but you are using a titanium nail referred to as a rig. The dabber takes a blowtorch and heats the nail in order to vaporize the concentrate on the nail. Dabbing was once considered to be too potentially dangerous. Research is still being completed, but it doesn’t seem as if taking in larger amounts of THC is harmful. There are now portable rigs available for sale at legal weed dispensaries. At high end cannabis shops, there are areas set aside as dab bars where several rigs are set up for customers. They make sure to clean off the mouthpiece after every use. The dab bar is a quick way to get high and take part in the marijuana atmosphere. There are machines called e-rigs that allow the user to set their own preference for heat, flavor and potency. With most cannabis strains, you get approximately 30% THC. However, with dabbing you typically get around the 60-70% range. There is a form known as crystalline that even gets up to 99% THC. For those who are looking to get especially high quickly, look into dabbing. The dab bars are gaining in popularity as more dispensaries are including them in the layout. For smokers of oil and flowers, you still need the proper vape lounge.

Cannabis delivery

A lot of things have been difficult since COVID has become a problem.

We can’t go to the movies anymore. We have to stream movies at home. There is no possibility of bar hopping, going out to restaurants, taking hikes or spending evenings out on the town. Everything is a bit more boring with everyone stuck at home. I am now at the point where everything I do is handled online. I do my job through a laptop at my house. As a very social type person, this has been torture. The last chance I had of getting out and seeing people was heading to the cannabis dispensary located nearby. I used to make a once per week trip. Once COVID started becoming a health threat, I upped it to once a week. I needed some excuse to get out of the house and talk to people. I’d spend about an hour consulting with the budtender about sativa vs indica. I would ask about the different ways to smoke, types of edibles and sometimes try out concentrates at the dab bar. It was the only fun thing left that the virus had not ruined! Now my cannabis dispensary has closed down and the whole process is virtual based. I can look up the cannabis menu on my computer, place an order and either have it delivered or set yo curbside pickup. There is no need to visit the actual dispensary anymore, so I take advantage of cannabis delivery. I can’t actually smell or see the variety of products in person. I can’t talk to the budtender either. It is so disappointing that my weed shop has now become the same as every other business. I keep thinking the problem is going to get resolved and things will go back to normal.

First time was quite overwhelming

The first time I stepped into a cannabis dispensary I was 26 years old.

  • I had no clue what I was going to find either.

My state just allowed for recreational cannabis and I decided to try weed for the first time in my life. I walked into the dispensary expecting it to look like a sketchy weed shop. I think I pictured it to be like a porn shop or a gas station. Instead I was shocked to see that the dispensary was very brightly lit, modern and clean. There were also tons of glass display cases with many different cannabis products and devices. I was surprised at how many different ways you can smoke. There are bongs, pipes, rolling papers, hookahs and even vapes. You can smoke flower, oil or vaporize a concentrate and dab if you want. There are topicals and edibles too. So many different words for different products. Add onto the fact that each strain is either a sativa or indica. There are also different THC and CBD contents for each thing. I felt so overwhelmed by the choices and information that I almost walked out the door. Thankfully the marijuana dispensary I visited had a qualified budtender that walked me through each product. He briefly talked about the different ways I can take cannabis and wanted to know what I was hoping to experience. Did I want to relax and chill? Was I hoping to stimulate my mind and be creative? After a few questions I was given a product and way to take it that I felt comfortable with.

Would she like a CBD hair set?

I always struggle to know what to get my wife for Christmas. She buys all the clothing she could possibly need. I am not qualified to purchase books, make up or cookware either. As far as I know, she has no hobbies that require anything either. So each year I go to the mall and just walk around aimless and buy things she probably doesn’t want. This year my local cannabis dispensary emailed me an ad for new cannabis products coming. One of the products was a haircare set for women. You get shampoo, conditioner and hair serum all with CBD in it. The products are said to be good for your hair, smell fresh and mellow you out due to the CBD oil added to it. I have read all sorts of reviews online and they are all very positive. I have really considered buying the marijuana hair care set for her. Everything is all packaged together nice so I would just need to put it in a box and wrap it. The set costs enough that it would be my main gift. I could pick out a few little things and then call it a day. However, I don’t really know my wife’s stance on marijuana. I know she doesn’t care if people smoke but she certainly doesn’t. Would she find a CBD product to be cool or be totally uninterested? I feel like the gift could be an amazing hit that she is wowed by amazing deduction to know that she needed it. Or she would wonder why on Earth I thought she would want it.

Getting the education to become a budtender

Ever since marijuana became legalized I wanted to work in a cannabis dispensary.

I looked into how to become a budtender and realized there are different levels to it.

In states where recreational and medical marijuana are legal it is easy to work in a weed shop. However, you are nothing more than a cashier in those places. You make minimum wage and aren’t really qualified to answer any questions. It is like a person going to the gas station picking out cigarettes. Some high end recreational marijuana dispensaries have cool things like vape lounges, dab bars and tons of new cannabis products. Those budtenders are typically required to take courses offered by cannabis education companies. You need to learn about the different products, how to sell them and how to run a dispensary. In states where only medical marijuana is legal, there are courses the budtenders take to understand why medically each patient uses cannabis. You need more than just cannabis 101. My dream was to work with medical marijuana patients. I wanted to help reduce nausea from chemotherapy. I wanted to learn what strain helps with seizures. I wanted to understand the science on why cannabis can treat PTSD. It was a lot of work, education and moving my way up the ladder. However, I now love what I do and every step to get to my position in life was totally worth it. I feel good that I am essentially providing a miracle drug for people who are struggling. I can help those with depression, anxiety and chronic pain by recommending the right product.

He is a marijuana grower

So I need to buy my cannabis products just like any normal person

My husband and three of his friends pooled their money together to start a marijuana growing business. Growing marijuana and selling to dispensaries used to be an easy thing. You could be a small time grower without a hitch. Then it became required that the cannabis products needed to be from seed to sale. Every step of production needed to be handled by the same person. My husband and his friends needed to pool their resources together to become a high end growing operation rather than a few guys in their basement. The growing op has special lighting, nutrient and watering systems. Each guy handles a different stage of the growing process and gets the cannabis ready for sale. All the dispensaries in town need to do is place an order with them. All the cannabis products are bagged, labeled and legally allowed to be sold. It was a bunch of hoops they needed to jump through though. You would think that would mean I could get weed whenever I want. I should have free marijuana of any strain. The issue is that the marijuana business is booming. My husband’s stock frequently gets bought out. He can’t grow enough to have any leftovers. So I need to buy my cannabis products just like any normal person. I bought my husband’s weed at a dispensary when at one point it was right next door to me. Thankfully a few of the weed shops have given me a discount on the stock. It is still odd smoking my husband’s weed and being a customer of his.

I knew a lot but never tried it

I know a lot about marijuana and had never experienced it until I was 25 years old.

I work for an SEO business that makes websites for HVAC dealers and cannabis dispensaries.

I have made tons of websites for different legal weed shops. I have written content on the website about different cannabis products like topicals, flower, oil, concentrates and edibles. I talked about THC and CBD. I explained the difference between sativa vs indica. I also on the website laid out how a person visiting the cannabis dispensary might go or how they could place an order for cannabis delivery. I even did social media posting for a few marijuana dealers. I had never smoked or taken an edible before. I had never been high, only smelled weed at a few concerts. When my boyfriend and I went on vacation, one of my clients had a dispensary right near our hotel. It seemed weird that I wouldn’t visit the guy when I had worked for him for years. I then realized after introducing myself and talking to the dispensary owner, it would be weird not to try out any of his products. I ended up trying different cannabis flower and oil in the dispensary vape lounge. I got to be high for the first time when I was way older than most people. My boyfriend also joined us and loved smoking. The two of us had a great trip and even stopped at the dispensary again to try edibles. We wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Smoking cannabis to help with menopause

I am one of the last people you would think has a legal medical marijuana prescription.

I have always had trouble sleeping but when menopause started showing up, I couldn’t even get a few hours of rest.

My hot flashes were so bad that they were happening every hour. I then couldn’t fall back asleep and would be a zombie all day. I started looking online on what I can do to help my sleeping and menopause issues. A lot of women my age oddly enough recommended trying cannabis. They said to find a cannabis dispensary and talk to the budtender about a strain for my issues. Since my state is only medical marijuana legal I had to fill out some paperwork. I needed to see a doctor about my issues and pay a small fee for my medical marijuana card. Now I have a prescription for cannabis flower and oil. The budtender I talked to thankfully had helped multiple women like me. He got me the exact strain I needed and told me to take a few hits before bed. Honestly I would have smoked an entire joint, bowl or even eating a whole bag of weed in order to sleep. I am not afraid of being totally high. I am that desperate to not wake up sweaty and tired. Smoking marijuana has really helped me out. I am much calmer going to bed and my hot flashes are very rare late at night. I have thought about smoking during the day to reduce them as well.
