It took a while to really catch on, but I have to say that the open mic night at the smokers lounge has become the most must-see event of the week.
I remember before COVID there was a thriving scene for nightlife, a lot of clubs and bars and almost every place had live music. That seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it? Society has reopened but the local scene was decimated, and most of those nightlife hot spots never reopened. Then a few months ago the local cannabis dispensary opened a smokers lounge, and started hosting an open mic night. It was a tiny stage, no room for a band, but if you wanted to sing or play guitar or tell jokes, then you could sign up at the cannabis dispensary during the week. I had always wanted to try my hand at stand up comedy, but was always too nervous. At the cannabis dispensary I could get stoned out of my gourd before I got on stage, which should settle my nerves just fine. I haven’t done it yet, but I will one day, for now I just go to the cannabis dispensary lounge almost every night and see what they have to offer. There is something very chill about buying a few grams of OG Kush and then sitting down and having a conversation with a friendly stranger while you twist up a joint. As I get more and more comfortable in the cannabis dispensary lounge, I am building up more confidence, which will eventually get me up on that stage!
