There are strict rules about being professional and never getting stoned while at the cannabis dispensary, but after hours all bets are off! If I had smoked cannabis back at my old job I might have found it much more tolerable
A few years ago I was struggling to pay the bills working a dead-end job at the local fast food place. I won’t say the name, because this isn’t about shaming them for paying low wages. There is no way any fast food place was going to pay a decent wage. The work was difficult, and greasy, and overall bad for my mental and physical health. Six months ago I got an opportunity for a better job, in a nicer place of business, and I went for it. My pay is a little bit higher now, but still not enough to make life easier. On the other hand, working at the cannabis dispensary has decreased my stress levels, and helped me to be a healthier, happier person. There are two reasons for this, first that the cannabis dispensary is filled with intelligent, friendly people who are easy to work with. This is a low stress job, and since most of the customers are already stoned, dealing with the public is a delight. Secondly, I get a pretty fat employee discount, which means I consume a lot of cannabis when I am not at work. There are strict rules about being professional and never getting stoned while at the cannabis dispensary, but after hours all bets are off! If I had smoked cannabis back at my old job I might have found it much more tolerable. Things work out the way they should, and I am glad my path led me to the cannabis dispensary. I hope I never have to work anywhere else.
