Like anyone else these days, I’ve been struggling to maintain sanity over the past 8 to 10 months.
I nearly lost my office job back in mid May and had to take a reduction in hours when we were moved to now working out of our homes.
Many of my close friends lost their jobs entirely. Another selection of friends was instantly thrust to the frontlines now working essential jobs in everything from working retail to hospital ICUs and ERs. I assume that a lot of people have experienced the COVID19 pandemic at varying levels of intensity, however everyone has been greatly affected in some measurable way. It doesn’t surprise myself and others that so many are turning to booze and alcohol abuse to cope with this stressful time. My cousin’s marriage crumbled recently as his alcoholism kept intensifying each week. I don’t like alcohol, so I turn to using marijuana instead. I assume that I’m still opting to get intoxicated to deal with my emotional concerns, however at least it’s with a natural substance that is far safer and less damaging to my life and the relationships I have with friends or family. My state has legal recreational cannabis dispensaries, however it wasn’t until the COVID19 pandemic that all of them enacted cannabis delivery services for any area in the state. All these cannabis delivery services are like a dream come tploy for a marijuana user like myself who has to work from their house and rarely leave. Some of the cannabis dispensaries charge a small fee to get a delivery order, while others offer the delivery for free. My favorite cannabis dispensary has a deal where all delivery orders over two hundred bucks are free with no additional charge.
