I have had my MMJ card for approximately five years, and although recreational weed is legal in my state, I like the ability to buy greater quantities and higher potency.

I especially appreciate not paying any taxes on my purchases.

My medical issues are mainly caused by aging. I’m in my late fifties and deal with muscle cramps, joint pain, mild arthritis, migraines and insomnia. I am bothered by plantar fasciitis in my feet and carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists and hands. I am unwilling to smoke a joint, bowl, blunt or bong. I don’t want to inhale carcinogens and deal with telltale aromas, smoke or ash. I’ve considered trying out vapes however would prefer to avoid the need for a specialized device. I like a more straightforward, self-explanatory approach to consuming cannabis. For me, edibles are ideal. I don’t need to be especially skilled to adore an edible. There’s no worry over access to extra gear, edibles are compact, portable and discreet. The most hard part of eating cannabis-infused edibles is being careful about dosage. Because the cannabinoids are absorbed through the digestive tract, it can take various hours for the effects to be fully felt. The effects can be more intense and really long-lasting. I’ve learned exactly how much THC in an edible works best for me. I appreciate that the dispensary continues to offer up-to-date brands, strains, types and flavors of edibles all the time. They have more than twenty flavors of gummies. They carry white, dark and milk chocolate plus peanut butter cups and caramels.
