I’m excited to visit my buddy Ryan next week.
- He moved out to the coast after both of us graduated from college & I haven’t seen him in a long while.
When he invited me to stay with him at his home for a month & turn it into a mini-trip, I couldn’t say no. I had never traveled farther west than the Ozarks of northwest, so I was eager to fly over the rocky mountain range during my airplane flight. Since it was an earlier flight on a clear afternoon, I saw a lot more of the mountains than I expected. Even though I had a layover that made the trip take 10 hours in total, it sure beat driving that distance instead. One reason for my trip was getting a chance to try cannabis from a recreational marijuana market. My home state still lacks any form of legal cannabis, neither medical or recreational. Technically I can order CBD & hemp products over the internet, however they aren’t a nice upgrade for traditional cannabis in my opinion. Therefore, I was thrilled to shop in a recreational cannabis store for the first time in my life. I was eager to try cannabis flower products, edibles, & vaporizer cartridges. Although the quantities at the recreational cannabis store were impressive, the prices nearly gave me a stroke. I was used to paying as much as $40 for a good ounce of cannabis flower products on the black market in my home state. After taxes, the same amount of cannabis flower buds from the recreational weed store was $70! It was phenomenal marijuana, however I’m not sure it was worth paying a large markup.
