What started as a crackpot plan has slowly become a neighborhood institution, but during the COVID lockdown, my roommate Ben and I were trapped at the house for many weeks! When cabin fever started to set in, every one of us made projects to keep us busy… One of those projects was setting up an important screen in the backyard for showing films, and then arranging the yard itself into a viewing area… It turned out great, and every one of us relieved boredom by enjoying films under the stars and smoking copious amounts of medical cannabis.
When humanity started to open back up again, every one of us found that a lot of our neighbors were interested in hanging out, smoking cannabis, and enjoying films in the backyard with us.
It’s so funny because I thought I would be excited to go back out into the world, but instead every one of us just threw a cannabis and movie enjoying gathering and invited almost everyone over! Now that I had gotten used to standing outside, smoking cannabis and eating whatever popcorn I liked, I didn’t want to go back to the local theater. If the neighborhood kids wanted to come hang out, every one of us would switch over to cannabis edibles, so as not to blow smoke on any of the children. It started happening every Tuesday, and cannabis and films every one of us started having a cookout, as well. It started as an act of desperation, and turned into an absolutely fun daily event. Medical cannabis entirely makes it rest as a good movie enjoying the experience, so I always appreciate it when the kids don’t come over.
