I was heading back to work, but I still needed to use medical marijuana regularly.
I didn’t want to pull out a vape pen and start puffing away at work.
Not only are you not allowed to smoke or use vape pens in the building, but I wouldn’t feel right. I went to the medical marijuana dispensary to ask if they had something more discreet. We talked about gummies, but you couldn’t just leave them out on the desk or in a drawer. Like any gummy, they would get sticky from the humidity in the building. I couldn’t pull out a packet of gummies that are clearly marked as marijuana. I didn’t want to be fired. When I got to the marijuana dispensary, I told her the predicament I was in. Although we had already discussed gummies, I had never thought about lozenges or tinctures. With tinctures, I could go to the bathroom and put a few drops under my tongue. Within a couple minutes, I would be feeling the calming effects of the marijuana streaming throughout my system. The lozenges would also be a discreet way of medicating while at work. I could substitute the packaging the lozenges came in, and put them into any small container, such as a mint box. I guess I didn’t give enough thought to how easy it would be to use medical marijuana while at work, and not being noticed. I wouldn’t be able to work if I weren’t using medical marijuana. My brain would constantly be scrambled because of my ADHD. I can’t afford my medical marijuana if I don’t have a job. It’s a Catch-22.
