There has always been this passion inside me to create. And that’s what I decided to pursue when I went off to college. Of course, I got the speech from my parents about recreational marijuana and alcohol. And honestly, as speeches go, that was one that I thought was spot on. I had respect for the fact that they both acknowledged that it was up to me to decide when it came to using things like alcohol and recreational marijuana. But at the same time, they also wanted me to realize that my studies and my passion for creating came first. And that’s the way I approached starting out to follow my passion in art. I did end up experimenting with both sativa and indica products when I was in college. And I was astounded to discover that they only enhanced my creative energy. For sure, I didn’t take a deep dive into cannabis and only used it in moderation. But I liked the perspective it brought to my art. Fast forward several decades and I can now report that I’m a full fledged artist with a nice career. I’m now doing all originals after starting out doing some graphic design. And I’m still using sativa strains for sale at the cannabis dispensary to inspire and bring perspective to my art. These days, I don’t even have to leave the studio because I can avail myself of marijuana delivery and just keep working. Although I do like to stop in and say hello to my friends at the local cannabis spot.
