I was pretty wrong about that, and for the life of me I can’t figure out why.
The local cannabis dispensary opened up a huge smokers lounge a few months ago. I was skeptical of it at first, because this state has strict anti-smoking laws for businesses, but these business owners found a nice loophole. Half of the lounge is enclosed, with climate control, a full bar, and a limited array of packaged snacks. The other half is a covered patio with open walls, with a small stage in the middle of it. People can smoke outside, so the cannabis dispensary has an area for the customers to hang out and enjoy themselves. The stage was a more recent addition to the lounge, to allow local music acts and comedians to perform shows at the cannabis dispensary. The cannabis dispensary also hosts an Open Mic Night once every month, and all you have to do is sign up the week before. Ordinarily I would never get on stage in front of people to perform, but I felt that the stoners at the cannabis dispensary would enjoy my stand-up comedy routine. I was pretty wrong about that, and for the life of me I can’t figure out why. Everyone present was either on edibles, vaping cannabis oil, or just plain drunk, so if I can’t make them laugh maybe I’m just not funny. I am not quite ready to quit, though, so I signed up for the next open mic night at the cannabis dispensary. I will try some new material, including a funny story I have about an incident with a pan of pot brownies at my parents house, and see if I fare any better.
