My Mom has a younger sibling named Maxine.
Aunt Max has been a part of my life since I can first remember.
No matter where my Mom & Dad moved, Aunt Max would come along. Max lived with us for a few years, then moved to a nearby house so that she could be close to the family. Aunt Max never had a family of her own, she consistently seemed to be alone. The years rolled by, & I moved out to go to the state university, & then to start a business & a family of my own. I consistently stayed close to Aunt Max, especially when I learned how much she enjoyed medical cannabis. It was consistently kept secret from all of the children, however Aunt Max was a major medical cannabis user, & consistently had been. The first time Max and I hung out, I was blissful to hear the story of how Aunt Max became the first medical cannabis patient in the state. When she was a girl, Aunt Max had polio. She recovered, however it twisted her body & left her in chronic pain, so her local healthcare worker started giving her medical cannabis. Bear in mind this was 100% illegal at the time, the government did not condone medical cannabis treatment of any kind. Max’s healthcare worker broke the law, & personally gave her medical cannabis, to help her ease her suffering. Over the following years Max developed her own contacts, & bought medical cannabis from a series of local dealers. Now the law has finally caught up with her, & Aunt Max can buy weed at a legal medical cannabis dispensary.
