They were nuts about making bongs

I used to be friends with a couple of potheads that were also engineering students. They were named Seth and Ro, and they were both genuinely hardcore about building things and makign them better. They wanted a bong that improved how much THC and the actual cannabis you get. They felt they could improve the lives of potheads everywhere. They liked to build bongs and pipes. So while they started out genuinely easy, they became more and more complex over the years. These were smart guys, and smoking cannabis unlocked the creative side of them, which they used to build more astounding bongs. They really did come up with some cool shaped, and better working bongs. I got one as a gift that I still use today. The weirdest thing to me was that they didn’t entirely care about the quality of the cannabis they smoked. They would buy the cheapest ditch weed marijuana, because their focus was on the bong, not the weed. They were genuinely great with letting me use their creations, but of course I typically used my own cannabis. I have standards, and I don’t mean I have to have the top of the line sativa, I just mean I don’t want garbage weed filled with stems and seeds. These men smoked the worst weed, and that stuff gives me a headache and that smells. Those guys taught me a lot about the physics of gravity bongs, and hopefully I taught them a little about the benefits of smoking better weed.

I will find my calling

Cannabis makes me care about life a lot more, it helps me sleep better, and helps me to not be as stressed… Life can be so stressful, so unrelentingly aggravating, that only in the depths of a cloud of pungent cannabis smoke do I find our peace.

You can judge me all you want for doing hits of weed first thing in the morning because I don’t care. I worked hard for a lot of years. I know I am 50 and it is not the norm. Who do I have to impress anymore? If I want to smoke, it no longer matters. I don’t have school or to drive to a job or be good for my kids. I can just relax now. I guess the complication is that people expect this kind of behavior from a younger person, and it is supposed to peter off as you get older. In our case the reverse is true, I used to only partake in smoking cannabis once in a while, and now I am an everyday smoker! Correction, I am an all-day, every-day cannabis user, and any afternoon I don’t get lifted is a day that I am upset. Cannabis makes me care about life a lot more, it helps me sleep better, and helps me to not be as stressed… Life can be so stressful, so unrelentingly aggravating, that only in the depths of a cloud of pungent cannabis smoke do I find our peace. My kids are all adults now, they don’t need me hovering around, so I have much more free time to smoke marijuana then over the 13 years. I put in my work, I raised fantastic kids, and since I work from home now I can actually do our weekly tasks while smoking indica or sativa the whole time. My goal is to quit the job I have now and work full time at a local cannabis dispensary, and ride out the last 30 years of my life selling tasty greens to people.

Competing in smoking events

There were three of us total at home.

We ended up bored and had nothing to do.

The first few weeks were kind of fun with the social distancing, and then the lake house fever set in. Watching entire runs of TV series and films franchises got to be so boring, and the people I was with and I played out every board game and card game in the house. I am not sure who came up with the thought first, but it came about in the middle of a smoke session, and we spent all night planning it out. The three of us called it the Cannabis Games, and would be an Olympic event competition with several odd marijuana-based contests between the three of us. The first event was called the “dirty marijuana choice and roll” which used locally grown cannabis that was tacky and full of seeds. The goal of this event was to clean the marijuana, cut it down by hand, and roll it into a slim joint. The next leg of the event is to puff and pass, and smoke all the cigarettes at once in a circle. For the next event we got out the large multiple chamber glass bong and stuffed it full of a sativa. This one was an endurance test, and the bong went around the circle, each of us hitting more and more of the sativa until we tapped out single by a single. These events went on for more than 2 days, until we realized how much we smoked.

The dispensary looked so different

Have you ever visited the place you grew up, and found it to be totally different than you remember? This has been happening to me a lot lately, because I have had a lot of time off from my job and decided to do some traveling.

The virus quarantine made me miss traveling, so I decided to hit a few of our older spots across the country.

The first restaurant where I got drunk with a fake ID is now a kids store, and what was once a 1 story apartment is now 6 stories of high end apartments. I tried to track down the seasoned sub joint I used to love, and found that it was now a cannabis shop. Never one to waste a trip, I went inside to see if they would honor our medical weed card from our local state. Where I live there are legal cannabis dispensaries for medicinal use, so they are love pharmacies and require a state sponsored card and an insurance card. It turns out this state has allowed recreational marijuana use, so they didn’t care if I had a card. Any legal adult with the currency to spend can walk into a cannabis dispensary and purchase what they want. I love it, that here cannabis is treated the same as pain reliever or cough syrup, and doesn’t have to be such a large deal. I spent a long time walking around this amazing cannabis dispensary, which wasn’t like ours back at home. This was warm, cozy, with chairs to sit and relax, a cute dessert cart, and a smokers lounge for sampling cannabis.

One word: privacy

The plan was easy, but great.

The music festival was three days of live performances, and it was being held at a giant field and camping area.

My friends and I decided to take a mobile home, have a party on the road trip there, and then sleep in the mobile home for the entirety of the long weekend. It was going to be such a grand time, and with travel time there and back with my friends, it would be a week. Four people in a mobile home for a whole week required some extra supplies. The four of us would need food, bottled water, liquor, and a whole lot of cannabis. As it turns out, our supply of cannabis was pretty mild, and we had smoked most of it by the time we even got to the festival. That wouldn’t be a concern, we figured, because so many people smoke marijuana at these events someone there would have some to sell. It turns out we didn’t need to buy any marijuana, because that mobile home gave us an advantage that most people didn’t have — privacy. For the right to have some security while getting high, we found a lot of people who were genuinely generous with their cannabis. Whenever you light up at a festival, the cannabis crew start to come in and ask you for a couple of hits. The privacy to smoke cannabis undisturbed proved to be genuinely smart, and we entirely drove home with a lot more marijuana than I had initially. Not only did people smoke us out, they also left cannabis buds as a “thank you” gift.

I am the shopper of cannabis

I can’t tell you her name, or where our rental property is located, because that would be an ethical violation of privacy.

But, I have to tell someone about this tenant! She is an older lady, and has some amount of money.

She laid out such a nice cash deposit for the rental, several months paid in full, that I didn’t even give her a difficult time about not giving me any ID or credentials. She claims to be a famous author who wants some time alone, and hasn’t left the grounds in more than 2 months. She pays me extra to get her supplies, so I go to the grocery store and a cannabis dispensary for her whenever needed… and she needs a whole bunch of cannabis it turns out. It makes me interested if all writers use this much cannabis, because she claims it is a large help with her writing. In fact she even calls it her little helper instead of cannabis, which I have been told is a reference to an older Rolling Stones song. She writes on a black typewriter, doesn’t have a computer which means I need to look up what cannabis is available on the web and tell her, then get her order and her currency and drive to the cannabis dispensary. She could save so much time and cash by doing all of this herself, however if she prefers it this way I will typically take the extra money and spend it at the cannabis dispensary myself! I haven’t paid for any of our own marijuana since she moved in.

Needed more cannabis than he was offering

I took a trip, and my friend Buster was so far away that I had to get on a plane.

I actually dislike flying.

I get nervous, sweaty and anxious. So I avoid it. However, in this case there was no other way to travel. There are a lot of reasons to dislike airports, from the long lines, invasive bag checks, and high prices to the awful way people act while traveling. Also, you can’t bring booze or drugs with you. I would prefer driving, however as I said, that wasn’t possible this time. I made sure my pal had a large supply of cannabis and booze for myself and others at his house. Buster tried his best, however his method of a “big supply” of cannabis is not up to our standard. I usually have at least more than 2 odd kinds of cannabis on hand at any one time, because I smoke a lot of it and I love variety. I thanked him for his hospitality, and then got on our iphone to find the closest cannabis dispensary with delivery. I absolutely didn’t want to leave again after so much airfare stuff, so I got the cannabis delivered to his house. They had a special on Girl Scout Cookies, which I haven’t smoked in a long time, so I got some of that, and a homegrown local strain. I finished off our order with some edibles, and then went back to hanging out with Buster. It took more than 2 trips for our delivery to come in, and in that time I smoked the entire supply of cannabis Buster had picked up for our visit.

A fun game to pass the time

What did you do during quarantine? Of course you smoked a bunch, who didn’t? What I mean is what else did you do? There was only so much TV I could watch, you know what I mean? I watched all the seasons of Once Upon a Time, then the whole run of Jane the Virgin, and topped it off with New Girl and then every episode of The Good Place.

  • So, after that I just didn’t want to even look at the television for a while, so I had to get smart.

I live with my friend Ian and his friend Boris, and we hatched the method of a cannabis “olympics” style event. The three of us created several different games based around smoking marijuana, and then would go head to head and see who came out on top. I know it sounds ridiculous, but we were bored. We got the cannabis dispensary delivered, and we literally had nothing else to do however smoke. The three of us started off with “blunt sprints” which used lower brand marijuana in blunts, and the people I was with and I each smoked a whole blunt to see who did it the fastest. Next was the Gravity Bong Hurdles, which used Purple Haze in our sink-based gravity bong, and this was an endurance challenge. The three of us actually should have used lower quality marijuana for that, because it knocked us all out… although I was the last man standing! The cannabis Olympics lasted for the better portion of a week, mostly because the people I was with and I would smoke ourselves dead by the middle of the afternoon! It was an amazing way to pass the time.

Had to get rid of our weed

I went on a cruise last month.

It wasn’t anything huge, just a week trip back-and-forth over to an island. I had a real blast, and was partying pretty hard even before we left the port. My friends and I weren’t holding weed initially, so we were hitting the booze pretty hard to compensate. Our plan was to track down some local stuff in the islands, to try and get typical island ganja. Once we landed and started walking around, it took us about an hour to find someone with cannabis to sell. It looked wonderful, smelled even cleaner, and the person who sold it claimed it was freshly grown from his own marijuana crop. The insane area was that we paid him, and he handed us the entire bin of cannabis. It must have been half a pound of this amazingly tasty marijuana, for the price of what I pay for more than 2 ounces at home! There was a problem, of course — we actually smuggled the cannabis onto the ship, but knew we would actually be searched on the way off. That meant time was not on our side and we had to power smoke as much marijuana as we could before it was time to get off. Someone said the plan was to put the cannabis in a balloon and swallow, but I pointed out how the balloon would exit the body, and said no. We ended up rolling a couple of dozen marijuana blunts and running around the decks just handing them out — no use in having quality cannabis go to waste!

I am the only source of cannabis right now

Living in a small town can be stale, and a lot of folks have a desire to make things not change at all.

People use this as an excuse to keep their lives easy or even worse get angry about change.

When pot legalization came up in the last state elections, my whole town lost its collective mind. People were angry about it, people put up signs and made a large fuss… Of course legalization went through, everyone knew it would, so then the town focused on passing a local ordinance to stop any cannabis dispensaries from opening within the town areas, and this is great with me. I have been secretly growing and selling marijuana for the last more than 2 years, and I don’t need the extra hassle. It’s funny to me that a few of the people fighting against the cannabis dispensary are purchasing from me on the side. No one dares be open about using mairjuana, but lots of people do… thanks to me. I have a small crop of marijuana plants deep on my parent’s farmland. This is not an active farm, thanks to government subsidies. My parents make more money by not growing anything, so I use the land for some marijuana plants. I don’t go wild with it, I haven’t expanded our marijuana field in over a year, because I don’t want to grow so much that it will draw any cops to me. Even if the cannabis dispensary did open, various of the locals won’t want to buy weed in public, so maybe it won’t affect our relocation at all.
