I’m not sure what I expected the first time I walked into the marijuana dispensary, but I wasn’t expecting to smell marijuana even before getting through the doors.
The odor of marijuana was so overpowering that I was sure I would be high even before I got back outside. It’s not even like I have a lot of experience with the odor of marijuana, but if you smelled it once, you never forget that odor. When I got inside, I commented to the budtender about the powerful smell that was outside. She thought it was funny and said that she’s got used to it and didn’t even notice anymore. I didn’t think that the scent of marijuana was something that I would ever get used to, because it was so pungent. That was the odor that any long-term marijuana user would equate with their youth. Even though my older sister and brother used marijuana back in the 60s, I just didn’t see any sense in using it. If they were both alive today, they would be shocked to find out that I was using medical marijuana. I guess, to be honest, I’m a little surprised at myself for using medical marijuana. All of that aside, I’m glad that I can purchase legal marijuana for medical purposes. Over the last two years, medical marijuana has been the only thing that has given me the ability to get out of bed in the morning and keep moving all day long. I don’t even want to think about where I would be right now, if it hadn’t been for medical marijuana.
