When it comes to smoke of any kind, I’m usually walking the other way.
My sister gave me a sign to hang right inside the foyer of my home.
It says that if you’re smoking in this house, you better be on fire. So my aversion to smoking of any kind pretty much kept me out of the recreational marijuana game until I was in my forties. When I was young around folks using cannabis, it sure looked like fun. But there was no way I could even possibly inhale marijuana smoke. It just wasn’t happening. So I would just politely nod and get out of the way when a lit joining of cannabis started making the rounds at parties. Once I started my adult life, it was pretty easy to not care much about marijuana. For one, it was illegal and there was no way I’d ever risk my career or anything else for cannabis. I had heard about pot brownies and other ways of using cannabis without smoking it. But again, I just couldn’t be bothered because it was illegal. Finally, our society appears to be coming to its senses when it comes to cannabis use. The state I live in quickly moved to legalize recreational marijuana one the medical marijuana experiment proved to be so successful. So finally, I had the chance to try recreational mairjuana. In fact, the first time I tried it was just simply incredible. A friend took me for coffee on a day off at the local cannabis cafe. We split the most delicious cannabis edible in the form of a lovely pastry. From there, we went to walk along the banks of the river with the sunshine on our faces. It was so great. And totally worth the wait I might add.
