I’m really proud of my friend and the jobs he’s worked over the years. He started out as a dishwasher in the kitchen and eventually became a cook for a while. He was going to go to culinary school but it was going to cost way too much money for him. Instead, he tried working for a tree service for a number of years. He hated the work because he had to be out in the worst of the summer heat doing backbreaking work. I would obviously never survive in a job like this. It’s just absolutely way too much to manage. I spend most of my days working indoors with air conditioning, and I have gotten so used to it that I can’t imagine working manual labor in the intense heat and humidity. My friend thankfully isn’t doing that anymore either. Instead of working for a tree service, my friend now works as a bartender at a weed dispensary. Some people think that a bartender is basically just a cashier for a weed store, but a lot of their job involves recommending cannabis products to their customers. A lot of cannabis products are different in effects because of the terpenes inside. There are some terpenes that are more sedating and other terpenes that are more uplifting and stimulating. If a customer needs cannabis products to go to sleep, you don’t want to give them a sativa that’s high and terpenes like terpinolene. By the same token, if somebody comes in looking for marijuana to use while they work, you’re going to want to steer clear of sedating indica strains.
