Once upon a time I was a private school history educator, right here in town, i was entirely teaching classes in the legitimately same classroom where I took classes a decade earlier! It was trippy, to say the least, but one day I quit my task with the school system to pursue a new line of work; This was soon after the state legislature approved the newest set of cannabis laws… Some of my colleagues and friends found it shocking that one of the best educators in the city decided to open up her own cannabis dispensary, but I was living the dream! As much as I love teaching, the school district there was a little too restrictive for my tastes.
I needed to spread my wings and fly, and running this cannabis shop is the perfect way to do that.
To be clear, I am not turning my back on history, if anything this new task gives me access to new voices in the city! Because this is a medical cannabis dispensary, a high percentage of my clients are senior citizens, then whenever I talk to an older customer I constantly inquire about their history in there, because some of these folks have lived here for decades! The oldsters are the ones who remember bits of city history no one else does.I feel like every day I learn something new about the local area, all the while being able to provide medical cannabis to the people who need it most. I may even write a book about our city’s long, tumultuous history one day.
