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.
