I live in a state that is known for tourism, but my city has always been considered a place specifically for retirees and senior citizens.
- It was frustrating growing up here during my childhood because the whole city was designed for people over 55 by people over 55.
You won’t find any night clubs or teen event centers in this city, but you can easily run into a Bingo location or a Denny’s restaurant if you close your eyes and walk in any direction for a few minutes. I left for college but somehow managed to get coerced into returning when my parents’ health declined. I was happy to be with my parents again and to help them in their old age, but I couldn’t hide my frustration with this town. However, this changed after I started going down to the fishing pier at night to smoke cannabis joints. I became friends with the fishermen who are over 60 years old and now I fish with them every weekend. When one asked about my cannabis one evening, he told me that he purchases CBD products from the local pharmacies. The man said that he was skeptical about marijuana from his upbringing, but there were so many people in his group of friends who were having their quality of life given back to them after they began a heavy regimen of full spectrum CBD products. This man said that the CBD topical products have worked wonders for his joint pain. Fishing is his favorite hobby, but he was starting to get pain when he would cast his rod. Now that he uses CBD topical cream on his wrists while he’s fishing at the pier, his joint pain has subsided considerably.
