There was a wonderful time in my life where I didn’t have much care in the world.
All I had to do was get to class and make decent grades. I barely even had to have a part time job. Like my parents actually limited my working to 15 hours a week and made up the difference when I needed more money. That was also a time when I could get up on a Saturday, get to the park and enjoy some recreational marijuana with friends. We’d just find a sunny spot to picnic and throw frisbee all the day long. It was bliss. I’m really thankful that I had that sort of opportunity in life. Because the deeper I got into being an adult, the less I thought it was appropriate to enjoy cannabis or cannabis products. That was an unfortunate choice because it resulted in my getting a bit too fixated on all the responsibilities of career and family. Hey, there is not a thing wrong with having responsibilities. I think it’s important for adults to take on a measure of seriousness and accountability. But for people like me, that can lead to a huge amount of stress and anxiety. I had a terrible time finding a suitable work life balance. That was until one of those people I once shared those blissful Saturdays with came to town. My old friend was on a business trip and just stayed a few days. But, he had some cannabis with him as he never stopped enjoying it. That was all it took to remind me how important it is to relax. I’ll be heading to the cannabis dispensary this very week.
