My friend Bruce invited me to go fishing up in the mountains last weekend.
- It was going to be a solid 2-day affair, because if Bruce was making such a long drive he wanted to get the maximum amount of fishing in.
Bruce doesn’t even eat fish, and constantly throws back whatever Bruce catches after taking a picture. He likes fishing for the activity of it, and for the ongoing mental tranquility it brings. Sitting in the middle of a picturesque lake alone at sunrise is a moment unlike any other! I will confess I was shocked and quite taken aback when I realized this trip served another purpose. Besides the fishing, Bruce was buying an crazy amount of cannabis from a local farmer. I had no system that Bruce was selling cannabis! He has a connection who lives in the mountains, I guess, and a few times a year Bruce drives up here to purchase 10 to 20 pounds of cannabis. I did not attend that massive business transaction with Bruce, of course, because it’s suspicious to bring a new face on a large marijuana purchase. This area does not currently have any legal cannabis shops or dispensaries as of yet, so Bruce doesn’t see his actions as being immoral or criminal. There are a lot of very sick and old folks in the area who need medical cannabis, and the government simply denies them. Bruce is offering a public service, hooking up a few of his friends and neighbors with the extremely medical-grade cannabis products they need to get better. I hope he has enough to sell some marijuana to me!
