My best friend Mike and I are very different in a lot of ways.
I think that is what makes us so tight, is that we compliment each other.
I am a writer, I don’t go outside much and I mostly keep to myself and live in my head. Mike doesn’t like to read or write, he loves being outside and playing sports. We have some shared interests, of course, but otherwise we are fundamentally different types of people. I was very surprised when Mike asked me to come with him on a weekend trip to play golf in a tournament. I don’t play gold, but Mike wanted me to pretend to be his caddy while secretly acting as a “cannabis caddy.” The job of the caddy is to carry the golfer’s clubs and give him advice through the game, and Mike had a similar role for me, only with cannabis edibles instead of golf clubs. I would carry the golf bag, inside various pockets would be a selection of cannabis edibles and vape products, that I would administer to him as needed. I may not know gold, but I understand my friend, and I know what kind of cannabis he needs at any given time. Normally we smoke cannabis, but that isn’t allowed on the golf course so we must rely on edibles instead. Mike is terrible with estimating the dosages of cannabis edibles, and how they will affect him, so he needs me to coach him through the game. I don’t know if he will win, but it does sound like fun.
