I have been helped a lot by medical cannabis & art therapy

Art is a form of therapy that doesn’t save lives, it’s more like a gentle encouragement of positive mental health.

It isn’t anything like physical therapy or regression therapy, which can help recycle your life & improve your health.

Art therapy is just for relaxation, & for getting in touch with your creative side. I have found that painting or drawing as art therapy can be much more rewarding for patients than other kinds of therapy. Instead of confiding to a healthcare worker, you speak to your mind’s eye using art & creative expression. I encourage all of my patients to try using art therapy as a way to relax & chill out, & sometimes I also encourage them to try medical cannabis. Personally I rely on medical cannabis every day, often in conjunction with doing my art, and let me explain, because medical cannabis can give me a whole additional dimension to my art, which makes it more cathartic for him. When I am totally sober, it’s strenuous for me to focus on the paints. I have intrusive thoughts like “what if it isn’t good enough?” or “is this the right color?” Medical marijuana shuts down all of my intrusive thoughts & makes my mind tranquil & placid, so I can just paint without thinking. Medical cannabis lets the art flow directly out of me & onto the canvas, which means that I am often surprised by the results. As the haze of medical cannabis slowly leaves my mind, I have found that painting that reflects my innermost self. Sporadically I believe that using medical cannabis unlocks the real artist, works through my hands.

Uncle Max seemed stoned at all times

When I was just a kid, the holidays seemed to be an immense deal for our family.

I was one of six youngsters, & my mom & dad both had a lot of cousins and siblings.

Every Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, & a few other holidays, the whole extended clan would celebrate and have an immense meal or a cookout when the weather was nice. My Uncle Max stood out among all my family members. Max was consistently so cool & laid back, & was the only one of my Uncles that liked playing with the youngsters. Some years later I found out that Max was consistently stoned on medical cannabis, which is why he was so much fun. Of course back in the old days it wasn’t called medical cannabis, because that had yet to be respectfully recognized by the government. In other words, Max didn’t have a prescription, because no healthcare workers in the country were allowed to prescribe medical cannabis, Max just liked to smoke weed. Some years later, when I was a teenager, I went over to Uncle Max’s house to ask him how I could find some medical cannabis to smoke with my friends. Max and I went inside, & he took out what was – at the time – the most medical cannabis I had ever seen in my life. Max must have had over 2 pounds of medical marijuana, & he pinched off a little nugget for me. Max provided me a deal, that he would kneel & smoke medical cannabis with me, however he would never provide any for me to take to my friends.

A Mall Santa who enjoys medical cannabis

If you haven’t sussed it out yet, I am a immense proponent of smoking medical marijuana.

Being a Mall Santa has some nice perks to it that you wouldn’t believe. Okay, so I will keep everything clean and PG Rated in this post, however I have to tell you there is a wicked dark side to the life of a Mall Santa. I am not a very aged man, just so you know. I am only 40, which makes me 1 of the younger Santas in this area. Once I dye my beard white & put on the outfit I look perfect, however normally my mustache and beard are dark brown. Anyway, I get a lot of dates from single moms who want to take a roll in the hay with Santa. This is great, especially when there is drinking or cannabis involved. Some days I go back to my apartment alone from the shopping mall, however several times I smoke my medical cannabis in the car as I drive to some single mom’s house. If you haven’t sussed it out yet, I am a immense proponent of smoking medical marijuana. In general I never mess with real drugs, because it would impact my work, however I usually smoke medical cannabis several times each day. Whenever Santa is “on a break” from the shopping mall SantaLand, he can be found out in the parking lot smoking medical cannabis; For those long stretches of work when there is an endless line of youngsters I will switch over the cannabis gummies so that I won’t accidentally sober up for a few minutes. I like youngsters well enough, however without some medical marijuana in my system I like them a whole lot less. For Santa to be blissful, he needs medical cannabis.

Cannabis infused drinks pack quite a punch into a small bottle

Before I can tell you a funny story, I have to say that it might be offensive to some people. I think we can all agree that it is always 100% wrong to drug people without their knowledge, right? I would never trick a person into taking a drug they weren’t cool with, that I find morally insufficient. This particular story happened over 30 years ago, & the world was a unquestionably odd place. My Uncle Gus was an unquestionably cool guy, who enjoyed getting high. His wife, my Aunt Susie, was unquestionably religious & strict. Every once in a while, Uncle Gus would slip some medical cannabis into the food he served Aunt Susie, just to make her chill out. As I said, I believe it’s wrong to provide a person with medical cannabis if they don’t know about it. That said, Aunt Susie was consistently so much fun with a little medical cannabis in her system, like a whole odd person. After a while Gus discovered a product line of cannabis drinks that tasted like odd kinds of juice. Then Gus could just hand her one of the cannabis drinks & tell her it was a cocktail. Susie would loosen up & get giggly, however attribute that to alcohol instead of medical cannabis. I even took a couple cannabis drinks myself from time to time, & will attest to how much fun they were. I prefer medical cannabis on an official basis, & my wife does not, then unlike Gus, I have never, & will never, provide her medical cannabis products without her knowledge. I believe that it’s still a funny story, however I’d never do it!

They won’t prescribe medical cannabis for me

That means I need high octane medical cannabis, of the sativa variety.

According to my healthcare worker Ed, I don’t have a medical condition that necessitates my use of cannabis. I believe that Doctor Ed is full of crap, because I desperately need a prescription for this stuff, & Ed won’t provide it to me. Doc Ed says that it should be reserved for cancer patients, or people with glaucoma; What Doctor Ed doesn’t understand is that I am suffering from the worst of all illnesses for a guy like me – writer’s block. You see, I have a crippling writer’s block, & I need to move past it so I can finish my writing assignments for the week. That means I need high octane medical cannabis, of the sativa variety. The sativa strains of medical marijuana are just what I need to keep my productivity very high & my creativity at its peak. Indica strains of medical cannabis tend to make me feel fatigued, & I want to kneel down to watch cable for a few hours! Sativa strains of medical cannabis always have quite the opposite effect, & make me sharp & focused. If Dr. Ed won’t do the right thing & prescribe medical cannabis for me, I am going to have to get creative, my cousins shop at the cannabis dispensary, so I can spend my money with them to option up a few extra grams for me… However I need a permanent solution as well, so if Doctor Ed won’t hook me up with medical cannabis perhaps I can find a more liberal healthcare pro? I need to do some research online & find out which of the local healthcare workers are more permissive with prescriptions for medical cannabis.

Medical cannabis makes Easter fun

I am not a religious chick, so I have never cared about the holiday of Easter one way or the other, however personally I feel that it’s fun if Christians want to celebrate Easter, or any holiday they wish, however since I don’t follow the religion then my good friend I can’t celebrate it myself, so i never did Easter egg hunts for any of my youngsters, because it was silly. Christmas is fine, however to me that’s about friends, family & togetherness, not any one religion, anyway, the point of my story is that my current friends Jen & Richy have made me a fan of Easter by bribing me with liquor, medical cannabis, & lottery tickets… Every year this older couple hosts an Adult Easter Egg Hunt, & in each egg is a $20, a lottery ticket, a small bottle of liquor, or a gram of medical cannabis. Once the hunt is complete, pretty much everyone opens their eggs & then is free to trade for other prizes, however this time I found six eggs, however none of them contained any medical marijuana, which was the only prize I really wanted. I took my lottery tickets & booze & used them to trade other party-goers for the medical cannabis they had found, then by the end of the night it wound up being a moot point because collectively my good friend and I drank all the liquor & smoked all the medical marijuana. In past years I have never hidden Easter eggs for youngsters, however I have to say injecting liquor & medical cannabis into the proceedings made it a ton of fun, however next year I might host an Adult Easter Egg Hunt of my own!

Grandy liked to smoke medical cannabis

My whole life Grandy was high, and I never realized it! Grandy was still sad about my cousin going to rehab, which is why she started teaching me to grow medical cannabis

I find it absolutely nuts how many secrets we have in my family. As a child I thought the whole extended family was the nicest thing on earth. Everyone was always so warm and romantic, and there were never any concerns or arguments. As I got a bit older I was more aware of things that were hidden from me and the other kids. My Aunt Steph and Uncle Bo were getting divorced because he cheated on her with an intern at work. My older cousin Jim was in rehab for booze, pills, and crystal meth. I also found out that my sweet seasoned Grandy had a giant patch of medical cannabis plants in her garden. Frankly, this was the coolest thing that I had ever heard, because Grandy did not seem like the traditional medical cannabis smoker. After I learned this I started spending more time with Grandy, and straight up asked her to teach me how to grow medical cannabis. Grandy was stoked at the chance for us to spend more time together, and also to impart her wealth of knowledge and wisdom when it comes to medical marijuana. Grandy told me that she had been growing and smoking medical cannabis since before she ever met my Grandpa. My whole life Grandy was high, and I never realized it! Grandy was still sad about my cousin going to rehab, which is why she started teaching me to grow medical cannabis. She said that if Jim would have used medical cannabis he could have been glad, and avoided getting involved with dangerous or addictive drugs. Happiness through medical cannabis was Grandy’s motto.

 

Medical Marijuana Education

My buddy said that he was going to rob a cannabis dispensary

Miles was always a wild kid, although I never expected him to become a criminal.

Miles and I grew up in the same inner-city hood.

Miles and I bonded at a young age, and became fast friends all through our grade semesters. When we were a little older, Miles started to get into trouble with some of the terrible kids in the hood. I focused on my schooling and stayed well clear of trouble with the law, but Miles was always a little wild. I knew Miles was up to no good, but one afternoon we were hanging out and he told me about his idea to rob the medical cannabis dispensary. This was a small, locally-owned medical cannabis store, and I knew a couple of senior citizens who relied on it for their weed. My Aunt Helen had stomach cancer, and used medical cannabis to treat the concerns caused by her chemotherapy. I told Miles that he wasn’t just stealing from a medical cannabis business, he was hurting my Aunt Helen! Miles wasn’t listening to me, so I had to do something drastic. I didn’t talk to the police, although I did visit the cannabis dispensary and provide the owner a “head’s up” about a potential robbery. He was deeply grateful, and that undoubtedly night had armed guards posted out front of the cannabis dispensary. Miles was furious with me, although I didn’t care. I told him this wasn’t just a store, the cannabis dispensary was a vital part of the city that people relied on for medicine. Robbing this cannabis dispensary was seriously wrong.

Chilling and smoking cannabis with my Aunt

My Mom has a younger sister named Sam.

Aunt Sam has been a part of my life since I can first remember.

No matter where my Mom and Dad moved, Aunt Sam would come along. Sam lived with us for a few years, then moved into a nearby home so that Sam could be close to the family. Aunt Sam never had a family of her own, and was always alone. The years rolled by, and I moved out to go to college, and then to started working and a family of my own. I always stayed close to Aunt Sam, especially when I learned how much she loved medical cannabis. It was always kept secret from the children, but Aunt Sam was a sizable medical cannabis user, and always had been. The first time Sam and I hung out, I was glad to hear the story of how Aunt Sam became the first medical cannabis patient in the state. When she was a girl, Aunt Sam had polio. Sam recovered, but it twisted her body and left her in chronic pain, so her healthcare expert started giving her access to medical cannabis. Bear in mind this was illegal at the time, the government did not condone medical cannabis treatment of any kind. Sam’s healthcare expert broke the federal law, and personally gave her medical cannabis, to help her ease her suffering. Over the years Sam developed her own contacts, and obtained medical cannabis from a series of local dealers. Now the state laws have finally caught up with her, and Aunt Sam can buy weed at a legal medical cannabis dispensary.

Updating the cannabis dispensary

The point is to expand the scope of my cannabis dispensary, and make it accessible for every kind of pot smoker

As the floor manager of the cannabis dispensary, I had to make some major changes once the local laws started to change, and recreational weed use became decriminalized, which really opened up this shop to a whole new and different market. I wanted to keep the same professional vibe the store has always had, because the medical cannabis customers would always take precedent. I also needed to make the shop into a more welcoming place for people to hang out. The longer that people stayed in the medical cannabis dispensary, the more currency they would spend. I decided to split the cannabis dispensary down the center, and dedicate half of it to the “speedy shopper” pickup service. This meant that all of the normal customers could order weed online like normal, then swing by the cannabis dispensary for instant pickup with no wait times. The other half of the cannabis dispensary would be more of a lounge area, with conversation pits, sofas, and songs, so that customers could peruse the store at their leisure and have a wonderful and fun time. If my medical cannabis patients want to hang out and prefer themselves, that would be amazing. The point is to expand the scope of my cannabis dispensary, and make it accessible for every kind of pot smoker. For some people medical cannabis is just medicine, and they don’t even use it to get stoned. For all the people else I need the cannabis dispensary to be a warm, welcoming spot where you can prefer shopping the old-fashioned way. My fingers are double-crossed that this new approach will spend money off, and it will be a bold new period for the cannabis dispensary.
