It’s still sort of funny when I catch myself pulling into the cannabis store.
There are legal weed stores where I live and that’s such a good thing.
I used recreational marijuana when I was younger and really enjoyed it. But as I got my adult life together, I had to let go of recreational pot because it was illegal. I just had to much on the line with career and family to deal with an arrest over recreational weed. That just wasn’t something that I could take a chance on. So I put down the recreational pot to my utter chagrin. Life went by and we raised a family my wife and I. Once the kids were off to college and my career was pretty much made, there was sort of a void for my wife and I. We talked to a counselor and endeavored to seek more balance together and connect more as partners as we navigate this chapter in life. With that came trips to the legal weed store! That was the recommendation from the therapist as she had seen great benefits from legal pot for those in our situation. I was all in as I had missed having recreational pot in my life but didn’t realize it. My wife was quite curious as she had never used recreational cannabis. Well, it’s been a year of trips to the cannabis store and I still catch myself grinning when I pull into to the parking lot. And it’s a grin of gratefulness that there is legal weed now as it sure has made a wonderful impact on my life with my best friend and partner.
