Free weed.

Just got back from the dispensary.

Paid cash. Walked out of the house with a wad of bills.

When I came home, I had $20 too much in change, per my count.

I thought the budtender gave me too much change, so I went back. She counted her drawer and everything was OK, so I must have made a mistake counting.

They gave me a free pre-rolled joint for coming back and checking.

I said no but they insisted.

Nice people. I guess there's still some good to salvage in this world.

My dispensary calls them “Weedtech’s”. I like budtenders better.

I got 20 edibles a few weeks ago for free. I think the young lady misread my points.

I get a military service discount too.

I order online and pickup to save time, and the points don’t show on the website. I checked one time when I was there and got two grams of vape cartridges with my points.
Last time I checked I got 4 100mg edibles.
I need to keep an eye on it more often.

I recently went to AZ to visit family and I of course had to visit the local dispensary. Really cool experience. The budtender was really chill, pointed me in all the right directions, made sure I got the discounts as it their normal Friday Night 2 for one. I got one pack of edibles and another free and the vape he sold me hit on all levels.

I usually do flower, but I was traveling so, vape life.

I saw so many altercations and tantrums thrown over masking requirements during the pandemic. Everywhere from the grocery store to the doctor's office.

But never at the weed store. People show IDs, stand cheerfully in line, follow the rules, do their business, and leave happy. It's happier than an ice cream shop.

treated when personally, people stoned were often times more coherent, more legible, more understandable that the drunks I sometimes ran into at the Bar. At least, we (the bar customers) were kept safe by the bartenders and wait staff, and they didn't waste any time kicking out the truly drunk ones, who were often unknown to the majority of us (but the drinks were well known (which is why they were in there).

usually the stoners take a break when too high, and may even nap a little.
I work around a lot of people and that is a personal observation.

and no, they're not sampling their products during work hours.

Even the security people are human.

It's a nice change from other businesses, especially the ones with TV sets to pacify the customers, even though Pox News isn't on those TVs around here.

Cannabis stores remind me of small town stores 50 years ago. Nice people. Service. No hassles.

a dispensary all of twice. The people there are wonderful, treat me well, and explain everything to me that needs explaining.

I hesitated a long time before going in one, just because the idea of legal week still felt strange.

Perhaps they all use points. The one I've been to does.

Since that stickie is a pixel, you'll have to smell your fingernail.



If it was a real stickie and not a pixel, we could just scratch and sniff that.

So usually what I do is scratch those things, and then go out and sniff some random person on the street.

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we've got something for dinner
You've got it, you've got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
You've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawn mower
You've got it, you've got it

[Verse 2]
Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With the beautiful highway
This used to be real estate, now it's only fields and trees
Where? Where is the town?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

I have a small greenhouse I have grown my photoperiod plants I start the seeds right about now indoors finish in the greenhouse usually early Sept.
My indoor grow system is a large insulated box in my workshop with 6 48" led lights I have them on a crank so I can raise them as the plants get bigger I grow auto flower in it. The last auto flower I grew in it yielded 3 quart jars
For soil I use my garden compost soil, and the rich soil under the trees out in our yard.

This year I am putting some out in the outside garden curious to see how it will work out, I just planted the seeds in my germination box they will go out in late May.

I get my seed from the North Atlantic Seed company. One order I ordered 6 seeds and only got 3 they sent me another 6. Will be a repeat customer.

Reddit has a few subs on it but you can end up more confused with all the conflicting information I just make sure they get enough water and trim early for more branches.

These idiots in our legislature want to pass a mandatory minimum fine for weed possession. JFC! They also recently made it tougher to get citizen initiatives on the ballot. The main reason I think is that they are afraid legal weed would get on the ballot and pass.

Florida is very special with pot. Five miles from my house is a major growing and packing operation, processing tons of pot, however if I plant a single plant in my garden I can go to jail, it is evil and illegal to grow one plant, but just good business to grow it by the acre. Not that it matters much to me anymore; I smoked my liftetime supply of pot before the age 30 and then gave it up when I had my first child.
