Before the newspaper was shut down some several years ago, I was a really popular local movie critic. I would check out all the newest releases and write reviews for the Sunday issue of the local paper, and people easily liked our writing. Then, as you all know, newspapers started to shut down entirely. With the advent of social media there was no need for movie criticism, because everyone thought they were a critic. I changed tasks, moved away from writing, and eventually started managing 1 of the local medical cannabis dispensaries. I had a lot of large ideas when I first took over on how I could expand the medical cannabis store and bring in a lot of current purchasers. These ideas did not go over really well with the corporate owners, who had a strict vision for their chain of medical cannabis dispensaries. I wanted to open a smokers lounge, show films, sell medical cannabis edibles, and encourage people to spend more time here. The bosses wanted to present us as more of a pharmacy than a medical cannabis dispensary, which meant all of us wanted it to feel like a CVS and not a place to hang out and have fun. I think it’s a bad idea, because I talk to our medical cannabis purchasers and have a nice sense for what they would like to see. The corporate owners easily don’t like medical cannabis, or the purchasers, they are just trying to maximize the profit margin for the shareholders and present a certain image for the media.
