I’m happy to visit our good friend Travis next week.
He moved out west after all of us graduated from class and I haven’t seen him since.
When he invited me to stay with him at his home for a week and turn it into a mini-vacation, I couldn’t say nah. I had never traveled farther west than the Ozarks, so I was eager to fly over the rocky mountain range during our plane ride. Since it was an afternoon flight on a clear day, I saw a lot more of the mountains than I expected. Even though I had a layover that made the trip take 10 hours in total, it sure beat driving that distance instead. One reason for our trip was getting a chance to try cannabis from a recreational marijuana market. My new home state still lacks any form of legal cannabis, neither medical or recreational. So I can order CBD and hemp products over the internet, but they aren’t a fine update for traditional cannabis in our opinion. Therefore, I was happy to shop in a recreational weed store for the first time in our life. I was eager to try cannabis flower products, edibles, and vaporizer cartridges. Although the stock at the recreational cannabis store was impressive, the prices nearly gave me a heart attack. I was used to paying as much as $50 for an ounce of cannabis flower products on the black market in our new home state. After taxes, the same amount of cannabis flower buds from the recreational weed store was $79! It was phenomenal marijuana, but I’m not sure it was worth paying a 50% markup.
