I chose to wear my last clean shirt to work when it was Tuesday

I have been working a great deal of overtime at the cannabis store! This past month, one employee quit and two days later three more people made the choice to walk out in the middle of their shift.

Honestly, I need the job at the marijuana dispensary, so I stayed put and now I am getting additional hours because the marijuana dispensary is short-staffed, and this week I was supposed to work everyday from Tuesday through Friday. I was going to take the whole weekend off but my boss asked me to come into the dispensary for a few hours on Sunday. We have a pretty immense sale on Sundays, however from 8:00 a.m. until noon, everything in the store is 25% off. We even have a couple of buy one and get one half off sales that are rather attractive to our customers. I agreed to work for a short while. I wore my last clean shirt to work on Friday, so I did not have anything except dirty laundry to wear to work on Sunday. I made the choice to go to the laundry room downstairs in my building so I could clean some uniform shirts and a couple of towels and pants on top of that. I was in the laundry room for an hour and I ran into the girl that is in the place two doors down from me! She was doing laundry as well and my buddy and I sat and talked for an hour or more. I also got her number. I never do laundry on a Friday evening to be honest, but this evening I was supposed to be in the laundry room at the same time as Jackie.

The designated driver was smoking cannabis

I wanted to take the temperature of the room, so to speak, and get everyone’s opinion on a delicate subject.

Everyone has thoughts about having a Designated Driver. This is when a group of people go out to get drunk and destroyed, and one person needs to stay sober to act as a shepherd and a chauffeur. Even with Uber being readily available, my friends still like to have one sober person to watch over everyone. My question is this – can I be the Designated Driver and still smoke cannabis? I don’t mind taking the night off from booze, but what about cannabis? Personally I feel that cannabis doesn’t even really get me messed up, it just keeps me normal. Should the Designated Driver avoid anything like that? I know what the law says, which is that driving under the influence of cannabis is the same as driving drunk. I call BS on this, because I have driven drunk and driven while high on cannabis and one of them is much safer than the other. Most of the time I have cannabis in my system while I am driving. This is because I basically stay high all the time and smoke marijuana several times a day. If I have to stop drinking and smoking marijuana for the whole night, I would rather just pay for an Uber! This is an ongoing debate between my friends and I, because they think it should be easy to stop smoking cannabis for just one night. I can do it, but it won’t be any fun.

Cannabis on a budget

Ever since I graduated from college I have had to become more budget-conscious. For the previous five years I have been living on student loans, and skating by without a job. Now that I am a graduate I am expected to work and pay back all those student loans, so my lifestyle has changed dramatically in a very short time. I was used to getting stoned with my pals every day, now I have to work 40 to 50 hours a week, and still barely make enough money to survive. In order to keep enjoying cannabis I needed to figure out a budget, and get creative with what I smoked. My first step was to call around my old school chums and see if anyone was still selling illegal cannabis. Although it is not legal to grow, possess, and smoke marijuana, it is only legal to buy and sell in a dispensary. A few phone calls later I got a hold of Butch, a friend-of-a-friend who sold marijuana the old fashioned way. Much to my surprise his prices were much lower than at the cannabis dispensary. I could buy a pound of cannabis from Butch for the price of six ounces at the dispensary! This was the cost-cutting measure I had been looking for, so I purchased half a pound of marijuana from Butch. Later, I came to realize why his prices were so much lower. As they say, “you get what you pay for” because this home grown marijuana was weak, and tasted very foul compared to the dispensary weed.

Finding our way around the cannabis dispensary

Later that night I went back to the cannabis dispensary to personally thank Sam for her attention

Aunt Jan was nervous about trying medical cannabis. Bless her heart, she is almost 90 years old, and spent most of that time in a small town where the law and the preacher always said that weed was evil. The fact that marijuana was now legal for people who needed it medically was confusing to her. I promised to go with her to the dispensary, just to look around and see if she was comfortable with it. I knew that medical cannabis could help her to enhance her quality of life, but she still needed convincing. We were greeted by a woman named Sam, who was the manager of the cannabis dispensary. Over the next hour Sam spent the entire time conversing with Aunt Jan, and answering all of her questions about cannabis. It was more than just good customer service, it was true kindness and compassion. Sam obviously loves her job, and treats medical cannabis as a way to help people. Aunt Jan bought a few different medical cannabis products, and said she would test them out and see what worked best for her. Later that night I went back to the cannabis dispensary to personally thank Sam for her attention. If I didn’t mention this earlier, Sam is also smoking hot, so while I was talking to her I asked her out on a date. We are going out for dinner next weekend, meanwhile Aunt Jan has been loving her medical cannabis products! Her favorite so far are the cannabis gummies, which she has been eating every day.

Getting stoned at work

After work I always like to relax by getting stoned.

My job is very stressful, I am on the phone making sales calls all day.

When I am finished with a shift I just want to turn off my brain and relax until I fall asleep. Usually this entails a few cocktails and a couple of joints of premium cannabis. This may sound stupid to you, but last weekend I had a genius idea to make my working life a lot more fun and rewarding. I started getting stoned at work. Of course I can’t bring cannabis into the office to smoke out, but I can get ripped in the parking lot before I clock in! More cannabis on my lunch break, and before I knew it I was spending the entire 9 hour shift stoned. This made going to the office a lot more fun! On the other hand, it impacted my sales calls in a negative way. As I mentioned this is a high-stress job, and cannabis always makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. It is harder to convince people to buy thighs they don’t need with a head full of cannabis smoke. What this has made me realize is that a) I don’t have the heartless nature of a real salesman and b) cannabis makes me a nicer person. Nice people don’t make sales, which means that if I keep smoking cannabis at work eventually I will get fired for poor performance. I need to only smoke marijuana at night after work, or start looking for a new job.

I don’t do drugs, I only smoke weed

A lot of my friends enjoy doing drugs, but not me.

I went through that phase when I was in college, where I experimented with all kinds of different illegal substances.

I was very curious about hallucinogens at the time, and sampled a few types of trips. That was years ago, and I’m happy to say that I am one of those people that experimented and then moved on. I just wanted to find out what those experiences were like. Now that I know, I have moved on with my life. I still smoke cannabis on a regular basis, but I don’t really do drugs per se. There are some people who might say that cannabis is a drug, but I disagree. Cannabis is a plant with multiple medicinal benefits to it, so I don’t think of it as an illegal drug. More and more states have started to agree with me, and I’m stoked to see so many places making cannabis legal. This is long overdue! Cannabis never should have been illegal in the first place, because as I said, it isn’t a harmful drug. Did you hear about the one guy who overdosed on cannabis and died? No you didn’t, because that has never happened in the history of cannabis! There are no dangers or addictive qualities to the marijuana plant, it is far safer than most over-the-counter medications. Chances are that I will never do drugs again, except for maybe some magic mushrooms, but I will keep smoking cannabis every day for the rest of my life.

Working from home and smoking cannabis all day

If my numbers drop because I’m too stoned to focus on work then there might be an issue.

Working from home was a weird transition for me to make. You see, I’m not exactly ambitious or career-driven, I’m the type of person that works to make money and doesn’t really care about the job. So when the bosses told me I had to start working from home, I think I was being pranked. Of course I wanted to work from home! Sitting on the sofa in my pajamas working on my laptop and watching Netflix? What isn’t to like! I was worried that my cannabis use might get out of hand if I was sitting around the house all day, but that was a chance I had to take. I would have gotten in trouble, and possibly even fired, for smoking marijuana at the office, so I never did it. At home there is no oversight, and no one to pay attention to me, so what’s to stop me from smoking cannabis all day long? The bosses won’t care that I smoke cannabis so long as all my work gets done. If my numbers drop because I’m too stoned to focus on work then there might be an issue. During the day I always smoke sativa strains, because they tend to give me more focus and energy for my work projects. After I am done for the day, I switch over to using indica strains, to mellow my mind and relax my body. Tomorrow I am going to hit my work projects hard, and keep my numbers high, because I love smoking cannabis at home all day and don’t want to jeopardize my job.

Buying cannabis for my dad

The possession of recreational cannabis is no longer illegal in this state. This is a huge weight off my shoulders, because I always have weed on me – always. If I am going to work, or to church, I still have weed in my pocket, or in the trunk of my car. Do you remember those old TV commercials for American Express with the tagline “don’t leave home without it.” This is how I feel about cannabis, I never go anywhere without it. One time I had a court appearance, and I had a dime bag worth of skunk weed on me at the time! On the other hand my Dad is a kindergarten teacher, and he can’t really have cannabis on him anywhere. Dad is a regular smoker, and he loves using cannabis at home, but he can’t go out and about with weed on him. This puts me in the unusual position of driving to the cannabis dispensary and buying weed for my father. I am not complaining about it, in fact I think it’s pretty cool. After dad retires from teaching he will not care about his reputation so much, and can start buying his own cannabis. For the time being he gives me a list of the items he wants, and gives me his credit card to pay for the cannabis purchase. The biggest surprise was not that dad uses cannabis, but the amount of weed he smokes. I thought I was a big-time pot smoker, but my dad smokes twice as much cannabis as me, if not more!

Spending less money at the cannabis dispensary

When money is tight I have to streamline the budget wherever I can. Sometimes this means cutting back on steak and red meat and eating more noodles and rice. It can also mean driving the car less, and canceling some apps on my Firestick that I don’t use very often. Normally I buy beer, but when money is tight I switch over to cheap whiskey, because it lasts longer than a 12-pack for the same price. The hardest thing to cut back on is cannabis, because I smoke a lot of it, and find it hard to live without. Recently I have started making great strides to spending less at the cannabis dispensary, and here is what I have learned. For me cannabis isn’t just for getting high, it’s my main form of stress relief, and my primary source of relaxation. It’s difficult for me to relax and unwind without some cannabis on hand! But I still have to pay the rent and my other bills, which means that lately I have been bargain-shopping around town, and visiting all the local cannabis dispensaries for sales and deals. This means that I don’t always get the strains of cannabis that I prefer, and sometimes I don’t get flowers at all. I prefer smoking cannabis flower above all else, but when I have to save money I will switch over to edibles or gummies. Once I even bought a six pack of cannabis infused beer, but the less said about that the better. If you know of any good cannabis sales, hit me up in the comments.

Taking a tour of the cannabis dispensary

I set up an account at the cannabis dispensary, so in the future I can stop by any time I like and make purchases

I won’t bore you with the details, because they are complicated, but my old boss sold the company to a big corporation. Now my entire job has changed, from my daily duties to the bosses I answer to. It has been very stressful so far. I miss having an easy job, and I knew how to do everything. They keep piling new responsibilities on me, and I’m starting to freak out! Whenever I get too stressed out I start sleeping poorly, and in general my health deteriorates. My friend Jimmy told me to book a consultation at the cannabis dispensary to find a solution. I laughed at first, because I had no idea what kind of consultation I could get at the cannabis dispensary. I was very surprised to find out this is commonplace, and many cannabis dispensaries offer tours of counseling sessions to introduce patients to new products. After decades of misinformation, it’s nice to finally get some straight answers and learn the science behind cannabis. Jimmy went with me to the cannabis dispensary, where we spent an hour walking and talking with the head budtender. He explained to me the differences between indica and sativa, and said that indica would be better for relieving my stress. We also discussed things like cannabis edibles, CBD oil, and a dozen other cannabis products that all work a little bit differently. I set up an account at the cannabis dispensary, so in the future I can stop by any time I like and make purchases. I owe Jimmy a big debt of gratitude for suggesting this.
