I shouldn’t have actually driven to the store

Delivery services at the medical as well as recreational marijuana shop near me as well as at 8:00 p.m., even though the store does not technically close until 10:00 p.m.

my friends as well as I were hanging out at my locale on Sunday evening as well as Jack decided to bring up smoking recreational marijuana! After I heard the idea, I finally thought it might be fun to order from the delivery service, and the delivery service was already closed because it was 8:15 in the evening, and then Jack said he was going to drive to the store but I knew that he had way too much to drink… However, I finally decided to be the one to drive my car to the recreational marijuana shop.

I had four beers as well as a small buzz but I thought I was just nice for driving. Jack hopped into the passenger seat as the two of us set off to the recreational as well as medical marijuana shop; then my buddy and I made our purchase as well as got everything that my buddy and I wanted in less than 15 minutes. My buddy and I decided to smoke a joint in the parking lot before driving back to my apartment. That was a huge mistake, because the mixture of marijuana as well as carona made it too taxing for me to drive. I had a telephone pole on the way as well as an officer arriving just as I was leaving the scene, however he wanted me to do a field sobriety test as well and I failed miserably. He put me in handcuffs as well as took me to jail that evening… Not only did I get a ticket for driving under the influence, but I also got in trouble for all of the marijuana paraphernalia in my car.

Amenities offered by the cannabis dispensary

I am very appreciative of the products and services offered by the local cannabis dispensary. It wasn’t that long ago that marijuana of any kind was illegal in my home state. Possession was a common crime. People were denied the ability to treat medical issues such as pain, inflammation, insomnia, migraines, seizures, nausea, PTSD and more with a plant-based remedy. While alcohol is far more harmful and addictive, it remains readily available. I was overjoyed when first medical and then recreational weed was finally allowed. It took quite a while for the dispensaries to fulfill the rigorous requirements and open their doors. I now have a truly wonderful recreational cannabis dispensary within a twenty-five minute drive from my home. They are open twelve hours per day, seven days per week and offer free parking and an ATM on site. I’ve joined their loyalty program and earn points on every purchase. The points add up to saving on future purchases. I can also take advantage of discounts on daily deals. There seems to be new products available all the time. I am always excited to browse and spend a great deal of time debating over what to buy. The dispensary carries a wide assortment of smokable flower curated from local growers. They sell singles and packs of pre-rolled joints, including infused varieties for extra high THC percentages. I can choose from waxes, diamonds, shatter, budders, badders, hash, kief, live resin and all sorts of concentrates. Their menu of edibles covers baked goods, hard candies, chocolates, capsules and beverages. They showcase disposable and fillable vapes, a full selection of topicals, all the accessories I could ever want and even pet CBD products. If I’m too busy to spend a lot of time at the dispensary, I can access their full cannabis collection online. I can place an order with a few clicks and opt for curbside pickup or even delivery.

Cannabis helps with many of the symptoms of menopause

I’m able to apply ointments, balms or roll-ons directly to the area that hurts.

I have been going through menopause for approximately eight years. At this point, I have little hope of the symptoms ever disappearing entirely. I would be happy if the severity of the issues would lessen. I am very thankful that I finally figured out that cannabis provides an effective treatment. For several years I struggled with hot flashes, insomnia, migraines and muscle aches. I never go to the doctor, because I don’t trust their diagnosis and am very reluctant to risk the side-effects of prescription medication. A friend of mine suggested a trip to the local cannabis dispensary. I first did some research online and was extremely impressed by the many success stories from women going through issues similar to mine. I like the idea of utilizing a plant-based remedy. One of the budtenders at the dispensary was super helpful in explaining different products and making recommendations. I was truly amazed by the options available at the dispensary. I like indica edibles to treat my insomnia. Eating a gummy an hour or so before bed helps me to get a decent night’s sleep. The long-lasting and greater intensity of effects are ideal. I use a variety of topicals to alleviate muscle soreness and stiffness. I’m able to apply ointments, balms or roll-ons directly to the area that hurts. For migraines, I like tinctures because I can be precise about dosing and the effects come on very quickly. I am still searching for something to combat the hot flashes. While I feel cannabis products with a higher CBD to THC ratio have made a big improvement in my many symptoms, I still experience frequent and uncomfortable hot flashes.

Recognizing the therapeutic effects of cannabis-infused topicals

I shopped at the nearby dispensary for several years before I realized the potential of cannabis-infused topicals.

Initially, I was strictly interested in recreational enjoyment.

I typically purchased pre-rolled joints or edibles. I liked the quick onset of the effects of smoking and the delayed high of gummies, brownies, chocolates and various treats. I consumed cannabis to de-stress after a long work-week, to socialize with friends or get motivated for an activity. When I tore my psoas muscle while rock climbing, I asked one of the budtenders for a recommendation to treat the pain. She suggested a combination of a tincture and several different types of topicals. She guided me toward products with a higher CBD to THC ratio. A few drops of a tincture is placed under the tongue where the cannabinoids are absorbed sublingually. The CBD and other cannabinoids interact with receptors that make up the body’s endocannabinoids system and help to alleviate pain and inflammation. Topicals work by influencing receptors that are in the skin. I found that bath bombs were especially effective. Soaking in a hot bath not only feels wonderful but opens up the pores and makes it easier for the cannabinoids to penetrate. I had the best success with topicals infused with essential oils such as eucalyptus. Because topicals don’t cause any high sensation, there is no worries over the dosage. They can be applied to the injured area multiple times per day. Although my psoas muscle has since healed, I continue to utilize cannabis for both medicinal and recreational purposes. I treat insomnia, headaches, bee stings, bruises and all sorts of physical issues with a variety of cannabis consumption methods.

Discovering weed pens at the dispensary

While shopping at the local cannabis dispensary, I recently came across weed pens.

This has been a game-changer for me.

While I have always been a big fan of smoking dried flower, the process can be a problem. I don’t have the time to roll up a perfect joint or blunt. Sometimes, it’s just not possible to access a grinder, rolling tray, papers, lighter and an ashtray. It’s much more convenient to purchase a device that’s all set to smoke. There are weed pens that I can charge by way of a USB. The device is lightweight, slim and especially portable. It fits right into my backpack or even a pocket. All I need to do is press a button and inhale. Because the device heats up cannabis extracts, the experience is especially clean. I take in vapor rather than smoke which is much kinder on my throat and lungs. Smoking a weed pen creates no smoke, ash or odors. By heating the extract only to the point of vaporization rather than combustion, the important terpenes and cannabinoids remain intact. This results in a really great boost of flavor and potency. There are weed pens available at the dispensary that offer a super high THC level. There are also those that lean toward CBD and offer curative effects. The popularity of weed pens has encouraged the dispensary to carry a huge selection of strains. I can find my favorite brands on the shelves and experiment with a variety of hybrids, indicas and sativas. Having access to weed pens has really simplified my cannabis consumption.

Now my parents are medical marijuana patients

My parents have changed a lot over the years.

They used to be really conservative and did not have a lot of compassion for people who aren’t like them.

But they went through a period of change over the last 15 years. Now they see the world through different eyes. In particular, they have a lot of empathy for people who are well off financially. My uncle ended up losing his job when he got injured a few years ago and the whole situation came close to destroying his life. My parents were really frustrated that he was denied the medical coverage that he was entitled to the first few times he tried. It made them realize that there are systems in place in this country that are inherently unfair to large groups of people. One of their other positions for years was being against marijuana in all forms. They were completely against the plan anybody used it, even if for medical purposes. But when my uncles started using cannabis to treat some of the pain from his accident, they could see for themselves how beneficial marijuana was to people in physical pain. Now my parents are medical marijuana patients themselves. My dad uses medical marijuana for his migraines and my mom uses it for arthritis. I’m proud of my parents for changing their minds on cannabis use. I’m a cannabis user myself and it’s nice knowing that I can talk to my parents about it without being judged harshly. However, they prefer to use cannabis tinctures in skin cream rather than inhalation products.

My girlfriend is supportive of my medical marijuana use

My girlfriend and I have a lot in common.

We both bonded over our shared love of music.

We’ve seen a lot of the same bands in concert he clicked on. We started to go to shows together and then fell in love after that. Unfortunately, both of our work situations make it hard for us to see concerts on a regular basis. Sometimes we will see small shows of local bands, but it’s not really the same experience as going to a large concert. I told her that next year we should start saving more money so that we could go on a vacation and maybe stay at a large music festival. One thing that we don’t share in common is my love for cannabis. My girlfriend had a really bad experience with cannabis when she was a teenager. It scared her so much that she never wanted to use marijuana again. However, she is completely supportive of my use of medical marijuana. She knows that medical marijuana is important to me with regulating migraines and relieving back pain. I don’t need a girlfriend that uses medical marijuana as well, as long as she’s supportive of my use. And sometimes we can use alcohol together instead. I have dated people in the past that were against cannabis use no matter what reason. I could never date someone that wasn’t supportive of my use of marijuana. It’s an important part of my day-to-day life. I would need other medications if I wasn’t using marijuana on a daily basis. Marijuana has fewer side effects than the alternatives.

Being careful using cannabis in national and state parks

I live in a state with medical marijuana and using cannabis publicly and getting busted could result in me losing my medical marijuana card

Hiking is easily my favorite thing to do when I’m not working. It’s a lot of fun getting out in nature and the sound of birds chirping and frogs croaking. There are several major preserves around my house, but I grew up going to a lot of state parks and national parks. I live in an estate that fortunately has a ton of national and state parks. My parents would take my siblings and I to these locations when we wanted to go on a weekend vacation. Typically we would camp in tents and it was a really fun experience at the time. I think back to these memories and realize that it’s a big reason I continue to love hiking and camping to this day. I try to go out as often as I possibly can. One thing that I enjoy doing when I’m out in the woods is using cannabis. While it’s technically not legal to use cannabis in public places, including the woods, there are ways to do it without being obvious to others. You can actually use a vaporizer pen and very few people would ever smell it on the trail. I just don’t want to get busted using cannabis out in the woods by a park ranger. I live in a state with medical marijuana and using cannabis publicly and getting busted could result in me losing my medical marijuana card. That’s why I’m always very cautious using cannabis in these types of settings. It’s safe to use marijuana in your own home or even in your own yard, but you never know if you’re out in the woods and there could be a park ranger on an adjacent trail that you can’t see. Sometimes cops like to patrol nearby nature preserves as well.

Cannabis tinctures are popular among the elderly

I live in a part of the country where there are a lot of elderly people.

This state has been a retirement destination for at least the last century.

When we get a lot of hurricanes, people tend to forget about it the rest of the year. It’s weird because a lot of people move out when there’s a really bad hurricane that decimates an area. But then the rest of the year we hear about hordes of others from out of state moving in. It just means that we always have a really high population of people over the age of 55. It was hard growing up because there wasn’t much I could do that was geared towards kids or teenagers. This is the perfect place to move to if all you want to do is play golf in the afternoon and drink with your friends at night. But oddly enough we’ve now got legal cannabis in this state despite what everybody said to the contrary. Quiet all those elderly people voting to get the threshold above 70%. I’ve learned recently that some of the most popular cannabis products among the elderly are tinctures and cannabis oils. Tinctures are particularly popular because they can be placed under the tongue dropper and resemble a lot of the over-the-counter supplements you might find at a health food store. It doesn’t have that association with smoking or inhaling something like cannabis flower products for instance. It’s good that there are different cannabis products available for different people with different needs.
