My first week on a college campus I met Sam, an older man that was always hanging around campus.
Sam never wore shoes, and seemed to exist solely to play hacky sack and play old Bob Marley songs on his guitar.
Some of the older students told me that Sam had been a fixture on the campus quad for over 2 decades! He wasn’t a student, and he didn’t work here, he just hung out and sold cannabis. Apparently the campus security always looked the other way for Sam, because he also provided them with cannabis! I was quick to make friends with Sam, mostly because I was new to the town and had no connections for marijuana. This was years ago, long before legal cannabis was a reality, so I needed to find a way to score some weed. What is college without cannabis, am I right? For the first few weeks on campus I got all my cannabis from Sam. Eventually I found other resources, and cannabis dealers who were less creepy and weird. Four years later I graduated, and Sam was still slinging sacks of cannabis in the quad and playing hacky sack with the undergrads. Sam has what is called a “charmed life” and although every day is the same for him, every day is a perfect day filled with fun, friendship, and cannabis smoke. In some ways I envy Sam. But not that much, especially since I have access to all the best cannabis strains in the world, and I can smoke it in the comfort of my own home.
