Once upon a time I was a middle school history teacher, right here in town! I was really teaching classes in the genuinely same classroom where I took classes a decade earlier! It was trippy, to say the least… One day I quit my task with the school system to pursue a modern line of work.
This was soon after the state legislature approved the newest set of cannabis laws! Some of my colleagues plus friends found it shocking that one of the best teachers in the town decided to open up his own cannabis dispensary, but I was living the dream! As much as I care about teaching, the school district there was a little too restrictive for my tastes.
I needed to spread my wings plus fly, plus 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 modern task gives me access to modern voices in the city, but because this is a medical cannabis dispensary, a high percentage of my customers are senior citizens, then whenever I talk to an older shopper I consistently 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 town history no one else does.I feel like every day I learn something modern about the local area, all the while being able to supply medical cannabis to the people who need it most. I may even write a book about our city’s long, tumultuous history one day.
