Everyone knows that this has been a year like no other in our country.
We are all walking around wearing ridiculous masks that give us acne and make us feel like we can’t breathe, but if we don’t wear them, we get the side eye at best and get thrown in the jail at worst.
We are working from home – which in my state, if you work for the state – means not working at all but continuing to get paid for the better part of the year. In my case, I am working more than ever, as working from home often means working at night or answering emails on the weekend, something that didn’t happen very often before. We are paying monthly fees to belong to delivery companies and paying more for the stuff we buy because they have different prices than the grocery store itself. We are calling in orders ahead and waiting in the car like kings waiting to have our goods brought to us by the peasants. Even legal marijuana stores have been quick to adjust to serve their clients. Weed delivery services used to be illegal, but now they are allowed and have proven useful. I no longer have to go to the medical marijuana store near me; I can go to the online marijuana store and have my medical or recreational weed delivered right to my mailbox or front door. The best online pot stores even have real-time inventory markers so that you don’t feel disappointed by ordering a strain of medical marijuana only to find out later that all the stock was sold before you placed your online pot store order.
