I don’t think I ever thought of a trip to the cannabis dispensary as being a treat, but I do now.

There are so many fun things to find at the cannabis dispensary.

The first time I was in a cannabis dispensary was to pick up an order for my mother. She was in a wheelchair and didn’t get out very often. I was her caretaker and could pick up her marijuana order for her. Once they legalized recreational marijuana, I didn’t need my caretaker’s ID to go into the marijuana dispensary. I could ask about different products that may help my mom, and the budtender’s would answer me. I have already asked about marijuana products for someone who had never tried marijuana before, and no one batted an eye. They offered me a sample of marijuana gummies, and told me to eat half a gummy. I shouldn’t try them unless I was at home and only with people I felt safe with. When I got home that evening, I showed my husband what I had brought home. He asked if I dropped mom’s marijuana order off before coming home. He knew I had, because I could see the twinkle in his eye he gets when teasing me. He asked what the gummy was, and I told him it was laced with THC. He told me the next time I went to the marijuana dispensary, he was going with me. I was having too much fun visiting the marijuana dispensary, and bringing home special treats. This week I brought a brownie home to share with him after dinner.
