It’s nice coming from a huge family where gatherings were both frequent and welcomed.
We didn’t have any troublesome aunts or uncles who would drink too much and ruin dinner parties like my wife’s extended family.
Since a good portion of my extended family lives within the same four states in the midwest, we had family reunions regularly. I was as close to my second cousins as I was to my first cousins, simply because we were all around each other so much during those years. While I don’t get to see nearly as many people these days as I did when I was younger, it’s refreshing when I get to see my parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. I learned recently that people from every generation in my extended family are utilizing medical cannabis products from various marijuana dispensaries in the state. My parents and my uncles are like me in that they are primarily just smoking cannabis flower products like they did back years prior to cannabis legalization in this area. My grandparents instead are using CBD and hemp products mostly. They find that the CBD creams are phenomenal for local topical pain relief. The CBD isolate in the cream absorbs through their skin and soothes their arthritis pain on contact. Then I learned that my nephew and niece are dabbing marijuana concentrates like live rosin and butane hash oil. It’s funny that we’re all into different cannabis products as a family, but at least we can agree on our love of marijuana and its variants. It’s a wonderful plant with unbelievable effects.
