What Universe Am I On?

By -
It’s criminal that not everybody can take a stroll through a Cannabis Farmers Markets. Growers and processors display their goods, doling out free samples at every table. Walking through the MMJ Universe greenhouse this morning was like walking through heaven… billowy clouds of pot smoke fill the air.  Growers and processors display their goods, doling out free samples at every table: smiling people offering me marijuana on the right, and then on the left … “smoke this”… “dab this”… “taste this.”

Heaven comes early for those can’t wait for true legalization.

At the farmer’s market that I go to they have live musicians, raffles for free sample products, and when you get “hungry,” there’s a BBQ guy offering burgers and hotdogs. Local produce farmers offer traditional greens, fresh veggies and eggs. For me, it’s a one-stop-shop for the entire week!

Word to the wise  -- be sure to do your shopping before you Dab. Otherwise you might overdo it a bit.

To be safe, I usually bring along a list from my friends reminding me what they need me to pick up. Jennifer is a masseuse and uses Sativa Valley products on her clients because it’s high in CBD.  Melanie wants something sweet and loaded from The Canna Chef, so I picked up her chocolate cake made with Reeces Pieces.

Once all my business was done, I circle back to my favorite bud tender, Greg, who hooks me up with the longest, most impressive pipe I have ever seen. Loaded in it was some super sativa that had me floating on air and a little dizzy, the good kind. The pipe is longer than my car so I won’t be taking it home with me. I’d take Greg home with me too, if I could. Right now, however, I don’t even know my own name.

During a relaxing moment in the open meadow, I feel happy, and yet sad at the same time that this experience is limited to only those with their MMJ patient cards. I sincerely look forward to the day when EVERYBODY, regardless of patient standing, can enjoy the fruits of the labors of our local cannabis farmers. They grow some good shit up in here.

Hempy 2014!

I started 2013 with a basement full of weed and an empty bank account. I don’t know of any Seattle growers that actually got rich from growing pot this year. I think a lot of us unemployed corporate types who were laid off saw the opportunity to work for ourselves until the state could figure out what to do with the future of medical and voter approved recreational pot. A year later, the future of  medical marijuana in Washington State is still tenuous.  I have personally witnessed healing in people who use cannabis as medicine and I think it’s a crime that providers have been thrown in jail for helping others. Cannabis IS medicine and we have a God-given right to have access to it. Dispensary “donations” were my main source of income in 2013. I make half of what I used to back in my VC-funded days, but I don’t care. Money is not it. Helping people, and loving what you do on a daily basis where it’s at, man. The meaning of life is to be of service to others. ...

Coming Out of the Pot Closet

I have to vacuum before my mother arrives from Arizona. I’m 40-something years old and I still want her housekeeping approval. While we’re close, and speak on the phone every week, we haven’t seen each other 1:1 for a while. I’m freaking out because I think she’ll have an aneurysm when I tell her how I’ve been paying my bills the past three years. Garden of Eve The time has arrived for me to come out of the Pot Closet to my mother. How did I get here? I was laid off from my event-planning job while dating a “normal-looking” guy, who owned his own landscaping business. “Larry” also happen to own a basement full of marijuana plants for extra spending money (on prostitutes, as it turns out, but that’s a different blog post). He taught me everything I know about being a Pharmer -- from cloning and transplanting, to providing my babies with the proper nutrients and watering techniques.  I learned a lot – about the miraculous cannabis plant, and about the lying, c...
