Researching Cannabis Growth in America

I smoked pot for many years on the party scene, but it wasn’t until I hit middle age that I really began to appreciate everything it had to offer me.

Back in the day my friends and I were going out to party all the time.

The drinks flowed, and we did any kind of drugs we could get our hands on. Like I said, it was a crazy period in my life. The weed was just one of many “party favors” that we would indulge in as a way to get absolutely blotto. My hard-partying days are behind me, and my relationship with cannabis has evolved into something much healthier. When used properly, cannabis can help your body and your mind in many exciting ways, it’s all a matter of application. For example, when you are trying to get as wrecked as possible you might pack several grams worth of cannabis into a blunt. Smoking such a massive quantity of marijuana will bypass the medical benefits and send you right to Stoney Land. However, if you pack up a small bowl of cannabis and toke on it, you might find your mind starting to expand. You might get exciting new thoughts, or bursts of creativity, which is why I always keep some cannabis handy when I want to write in my journal. Cannabis also helps with introspection, which is why more and more therapists are using it as a holistic tool for self exploration. It’s fine to use cannabis to party and get high, but please know it has many other uses!

My next door neighbor is a guy named Ed.

He is a blue collar kind of guy, who loves his dogs, drinking beer, and going fishing on weekends.

Ed owns a fifteen-foot long fishing boat, but about a month ago he put it on block in his front yard. At first I thought that Ed was doing some repairs, and needed to put the boat in “dry dock.” This was not the case at all, I came to find out. Ed was no longer using the boat for fishing. His wife had kicked him out, so he was living in it, like an apartment! Ed and I are fairly close, because we both enjoy drinking bourbon and smoking top quality cannabis, so I went over to see how he was doing. He set up a couple of lawn chairs on his boat and we hung out, sharing some cannabis and a bottle of bourbon. Ed explained that part of the reason his wife had kicked him was due to cannabis. Not because he smoked cannabis, but because he had been selling it to make extra money. His wife felt scared, because cannabis is not legal in this state yet, and she wanted Ed off the property until he changed his sinful ways. Since Ed is not making an extra thousand dollars a month from cannabis sales, he has no desire to quit the business! Besides, he said that he has started to enjoy living on the fishing boat, and out here he can smoke as much marijuana as he wants.

I have had issues with stress for as long as I can remember. I came up in an era where things like anxiety and depression were not considered serious issues. If I told my parents I was feeling depressed they would give me a few bucks to go see a movie. No therapy or medical consultation, just a friendly “get over it” and that was all. As a teenager I began to experiment with self-medication, mostly with booze and weed. When I got to college I was more mature, and started using cannabis as a way to treat my anxiety, instead of just getting wasted. It turns out that the problem was my dosage. In small doses, cannabis generates some pretty amazing and interesting effects. Smoking a little cannabis before I write or paint opens up the creativity in my mind and allows me to cut loose and create something fresh. Before I study I like to blaze a little marijuana to help my mind relax and open up to new ideas. On the other hand, when the dosage is too high I just get blotto and become worthless! There is a huge difference between smoking a little bit, and getting absolutely wrecked by smoking as much cannabis as possible. When I was younger that’s what I did – I chugged liquor and smoked too much cannabis, and it made my brain soft. In smaller, controlled doses cannabis can strengthen your mind, and allow you to think and create in innovative new ways! When it comes to cannabis, smoke a little, not a lot!

My next door neighbor has a boat parked in his driveway, and it’s been there for a few months.

I know that Dean used to go fishing all the time, at least every weekend, but now the boat just takes up space at his house. Not only that, but Dean hangs out on the boat, as if it’s out to sea. He sits there in a lawn chair, drinking beer for hours on end, and smoking copious amounts of cannabis. Being a fan of cannabis myself, eventually I approached Dean about hanging out together. I brought over a six pack, he rolled up a few cannabis joints, and we hung out during the afternoon getting nice and toasted. After we had smoked it all up, Dean went under decks and came back up clutching a fistful marijuana. I am not exaggerating, this guy had about six ounces worth of high-grade cannabis in his hand, which he dumped into a glass jar. After smoking a couple more joints, Dean said he had something to show me, and took me under deck. There I found an eighty pound brick of cannabis, still wrapped in plastic. Dean explained that one day while he was fishing he found this enormous brick of cannabis floating in the ocean. This is literally a lifetime supply of cannabis! Ever since he has been too afraid to take the boat back out, in case the original owners of the lost cannabis were still looking for it. Now I’m set because Dean will sell me as much cannabis as I want!

I love my job.

I have never felt so interesting in my whole life, and I owe it all to this new generation of smokers.

It is thrilling news to see weed being legalized in so many places. The federal government is still behind the times, but they will be catching up soon enough. The point is that young people today are growing up in an era when marijuana is not demonized. For generations every child was raised to think that smoking dope was a gateway drug that would result in them being a homeless crack addict. Anyone who ever actually smoked cannabis knew how mild and fun it could be, yet we were still indoctrinated and made to think it was dangerous somehow. Kids today don’t have to hear all those lies, because the science behind medical cannabis has cleared everything up. I work in a local cannabis dispensary, and the young people love asking me about my stories from the old days. I am over 60 years old, so I have lived through a lot of crazy times when it came to cannabis. The young smokers think it’s amazing how much trouble and effort I used to ensure just to buy some cannabis. They can simply walk into a store, or place an order through an online cannabis dispensary or delivery service. They love it when I tell stories about breaking into a marijuana farm to steal a few pounds, or being on the run from the law. To them, the old-timey days of pot smoking seem dangerous and romantic.

I don’t smoke weed.

Not for moral reasons, but because of my weird brain chemistry, which reacts poorly to THC.

That said, I have been a huge proponent for legalized weed for a long time. Not for me, but for something called “the greater good.” I understand that even though I don’t enjoy weed, it is a medicine that can be beneficial to millions of people! The fact that marijuana was ever deemed illegal in the first place was a matter of politics, not morality. Big Tobacco oppressed the cannabis farmers of this country, they demonized a plant, and ruined many lives, just so they could sell more cigarettes. I would actually be perfectly fine with cannabis being illegal, if tobacco and alcohol were also illegal. Just because cannabis doesn’t help me medicinally doesn’t mean it can’t help others! I have to avoid using cannabis because something about the THC content reacts poorly to my brain chemistry. Instead of relaxing and giggling, cannabis makes me hallucinate wildly and feel paranoid. I have never taken a hallucinogen like LSD, but the way cannabis makes me feel seems awfully similar to that. I have even tried cannabis edibles and vape pens, but anything that contains THC has the same impact on me. So obviously, I don’t ever mess around with marijuana, I will stick to a few beers! I still want other people to have legal access to cannabis. It can help the sick and the elderly, and has countless medical benefits. I hope all of you also support legalizing cannabis, let’s make it happen!

It’s strenuous to imagine however it’s been just over a quarter of a century since the first medical cannabis laws were enacted.

I am just so lucky that those pioneers were able to be so successful when it came to medical marijuana… Had that cannabis product experiment not worked out, I would not be managing our health and I am today, the early medical marijuana visionaries laid out groundwork that convinced local government that medical marijuana was a beneficial addition.

Those of us who have always been advocates of medical marijuana have known this for a long time, however i mean come on, cannabis has been used for thoUSAnds of years to treat a variety of conditions, but it was maligned for such a long time that I wasn’t sure there’d ever be any kind of legal weed store. But the people I was with and I also have to be honest, it was the tax substitute that particularly made medical marijuana feasible, access to cannabis products particularly did not play into the misinformation of those who opposed it. All of us were lucky to dispel the myths around cannabis products. And that is terribly crucial as the people I was with and I move on from here, but well over half the states in our country allow for some form of cannabis dispensary. That number will only grow. Before too long getting a medical marijuana card to access a cannabis dispensary will be a thing of the past. To be sure, medical marijuana is to be thanked for that. I suppose that I am particularly grateful that our state saw the light and legislated for legal cannabis products.

There is just nothing at all pleasant about social anxiety.

And I should suppose as I’ve dealt with it for as long as I can remember.

These days, there has a much more clear definition of what social anxiety actually is. But it’s not all that easy when it comes to treatment. Thankfully, I’m finding actually wonderful results with medical cannabis. But unluckyly, I did not come to learn about medical marijuana benefits until well into my 40s. That left myself and others dealing with a lifetime of fear and anxiety while the people I was with and I were in any social interaction. I actually wish I had l gained about medical marijuana sooner, but once I understood the facts about medical cannabis, I got myself through the cannabis regulations. That allowed myself and others to have access to the cannabis flower products that radically changed the way I live. The staff at the legal weed store we are also just so kind and comloving. I knew a little bit about cannabis but these people had a full cannabis education. That came in handy because I had never used cannabis flower products before. Those kind people at the cannabis dispensary help myself and others choice out samples of cannabis products for myself and others to try. They taught myself and others all about dosage any effects I would feel from the medical marijuana… Right away, I felt completely unusual once I started using medical marijuana. It just changed everything. That fear that was constant in any social interaction and just vanished. There’s still more labor to be done when it comes to social anxiety but I’m getting better and better at it. It would not have been possible if it were not for medical marijuana benefits being legal.
