I finally walked into a store where I truly felt welcomed.
At a local cannabis dispensary, I was instantly greeted, with eye contact from the staff. I was greeted with a smile and wished a good day, like the employees legitimately meant it. And these folks were all just happily going about their work, helping other customers find the cannabis products that they needed. It was truly stunning. Is this how all marijuanna dispensaries are? I’m not sure. I’m new to recreational cannabis usage, and this is the only store of this kind I’ve ever been to. In our state, recreational marijuana use was just recently legalized, joining medical marijuana. So now, if you’re of age, you can buy marijuana in a cannabis dispensary. For my entire adult life, I avoided using marijuana. It was illegal, and I’m a stay within the law sort of woman. I also didn’t have people in my circle who smoked marijuana. I once promised myself, though, that if marijuana was ever legal, I’d give it a try. Once it became legal, I was just curious to see what this sativa and indica were all about. That’s why I walked into the local cannabis spot that first time, and was treated like a real, valued friend. They also provided me with a starter sampler kit. Oh, wow! Now I understand what all the fuss is about, when it comes to how good sativa and indica strains made me feel. I took it slow, just like the good people at the local cannabis spot requested. I have to say, there is a feeling of hopefulness, joy and purpose that I don’t think I’ve ever experienced, quite like that before!
