I live in an area where the winters are long, coldy and snowy.
Our region is often referred to as the “snow belt.” We get a lot of lake-effect snows that result in blizzard conditions.
Sub zero temperatures, white-outs and black ice lead to driving bans where we aren’t allowed on the roads. I get extremely stressed attempting to drive where there are snow flurries or slippery pavement. Unfortunately, there’s a good chance of feet of snow on the ground from October until April. Even when the weather is nice, there is a lot of traffic on the roads. It’s always difficult to find parking places. Whenever possible, I try to avoid driving. I use a lot of public transportation and have most everything delivered. I order groceries, toiletries, pet supplies, pesticides, cleaning products, shoes, clothes and personal hygiene products online and have them brought right to my door. I am relieved that the local cannabis dispensary provides delivery. It’s so easy and stress-free. The dispensary website is set up so that I can narrow my search to find my favorite brands, strains, level of potency and consumption methods. I don’t need to worry about regular business hours. The website is always open for business. I often shop late at night, when I have plenty of time to browse. There are so many flavors of edibles and beverages. There is an extensive list of topicals that are great for everything from my beauty regimen to alleviating painful joints. The list of flower includes over a hundred strains of indicas, sativas and hybrids. I can buy a single pre-roll for five dollars or choose packs. The variety of concentrates, extracts and tinctures is huge. I love the vapes and have fun picking out accessories.
