My Mom has a younger sister named Sam.
Aunt Sam has been a part of my life since I can first remember.
No matter where my Mom and Dad moved, Aunt Sam would come along. Sam lived with us for a few years, then moved into a nearby home so that Sam could be close to the family. Aunt Sam never had a family of her own, and was always alone. The years rolled by, and I moved out to go to college, and then to started working and a family of my own. I always stayed close to Aunt Sam, especially when I learned how much she loved medical cannabis. It was always kept secret from the children, but Aunt Sam was a sizable medical cannabis user, and always had been. The first time Sam and I hung out, I was glad to hear the story of how Aunt Sam became the first medical cannabis patient in the state. When she was a girl, Aunt Sam had polio. Sam recovered, but it twisted her body and left her in chronic pain, so her healthcare expert started giving her access to medical cannabis. Bear in mind this was illegal at the time, the government did not condone medical cannabis treatment of any kind. Sam’s healthcare expert broke the federal law, and personally gave her medical cannabis, to help her ease her suffering. Over the years Sam developed her own contacts, and obtained medical cannabis from a series of local dealers. Now the state laws have finally caught up with her, and Aunt Sam can buy weed at a legal medical cannabis dispensary.
