After Buzz got his prescription, our weekly game nights got a lot more fun.
Buzz and I were friends back in high school, which was over thirty years ago.
For most of the time in between then and now we had no contact. We had careers, wives, and kids, and never thought about the other for decades. After a random meeting in the grocery store we rekindled our old friendship, and started getting together for a game night once a week. We called it Game Night, but mostly we drank whisky and told stories. Then Max got his medical cannabis prescription, and game night took on a whole new level of importance. Every week Max would stop by the medical cannabis dispensary on the way to game night and grab a selection of edibles. At our age, smoking medical marijuana induces too many intense coughing fits, and in the era of COVID we try to cough as infrequently as possible. Cannabis edibles are just as potent as the buds, and a lot less stinky. A few cannabis edibles and a few shots of whisky make any game night amazing, even if we don’t get around to playing any games. The medical marijuana benefits are well documented, and I am glad that it is available to so many people who need it. I don’t need medical cannabis, I am quite healthy for my age, but hot damn is it fun to get high! I think that medical cannabis is wasted on the young, who don’t really appreciate how great it is!
