I have to cut back on my medical cannabis budget

My money right now is fairly dwindling.

I don’t have cash to do virtually anything outside of my normal work schedule.

I have to save all my money for my bills and medical expenses. I also have high bills to pay for the house as well. My electric bill has been going up recently because of inflation increases across the board. I also have a car payment that I have to fill every single month. There are just so many expenses that I end up forgetting to budget for everything. That way I end up over spending almost every month. It’s a really big issue for me right now trying to just survive. I’m living paycheck to paycheck and wondering if I’m even going to be able to keep this job in the next 5 years or not. Eventually artificial intelligence is sure to replace my job with a mere computer program. Naturally, I have to cut back on my medical cannabis spending. I have to try to get as many medical cannabis products as I can for as low of a price as possible. It’s hard when you don’t have an income that you can increase simply by working more hours. So until I work more hours, I can’t buy more medical cannabis products and I already am. Unfortunately the price on medical cannabis has been consistent and I stayed over the last two years. In some states medical cannabis products are going down because the supply has outmatched the demand. It will take a few more years before we see this play out in my home state with medical cannabis.

Don't try to smoke joints at the beach

There are a lot of things you can and can’t do at a public beach.

One thing in particular that I have noticed a lot of the beaches in my county is prohibiting any pets of any kind.

If you want to bring your pets to the beach, you have to take them down to the dog and cat Beach. It’s a separate Beach specifically for animals. It’s to keep animal feces away from actual people when it comes to barring animals from the normal beaches. You definitely don’t want to be taking a walk on the beach and stepping in dog poop. He also can’t have campfires on the beach or camping in general. You can get in a lot of trouble if you are out on the beach with camping equipment. One of the other things that I’m really worried about when I’m out on the beach at night is smoking cannabis. When I was a lot younger I didn’t care and I took the rest, but nowadays I don’t want to lose my medical marijuana card. But that’s why I don’t smoke joints at the beach because I know that they’re easy to smell from far away. A cop is much more likely to smell a joint than a cannabis oil cartridge. That’s why I tell my friends to just avoid smoking joints at the beach if they can. If you’re going to consume cannabis on the beach at all, I would always recommend getting cannabis vaporizer oil cartridges instead of using a joint. It’s a much better idea in the long run.

Online cannabis shopping

My local cannabis dispensary provides a very user-friendly website.

  • I’m able to go online and shop whenever it’s convenient.

I might browse products early in the morning, on my lunch-break at work or late in the evening. Every product includes a clear picture and description. I can customize my search by the brand, strain, consumption method, strain, weight, potency, price and more. I can choose to look at only CBD isolates, full-spectrum options, hybrids, indicas or sativas. I like to check out the weekly specials, daily discounts, newly introduced products and budtender recommendations. It’s helpful to be able to navigate options from the comfort of home, because there is such a wide range of choices. The dispensary carries over six dozen varieties of flower. They offer just as many vapes, all sorts of pre-rolls and a full list of tinctures. With limitations on how much cannabis I’m allowed to purchase per day, I have trouble deciding. I’m always interested in the menu of edibles. There are nearly endless flavors of gummies along with baked goods, peanut butter cups and a wide variety of chocolates. The diversity of concentrates always takes me a while to consider. They sell waxes, budders, badders, live sauce, hash, shatter, diamonds and so much more. There are also all sorts of curative topicals, beverages and gear. All I need to do is click on a product to add it to my cart. The dispensary has all of my information, so check out is quick and easy. I can opt for in-store pickup, curbside pickup or delivery to my location.

Flower is my favorite consumption method

My favorite cannabis consumption method is smoking.

I like visiting the dispensary and checking out what’s new, what’s popular and the amazing variety of strains available.

I am fortunate that the dispensary in closest proximity to my house focuses heavily on dried flower. They have their own grow operation that includes both sun grown and greenhouse grown plants. This allows them to take the plants from seed to sale and be especially particular about quality and safety. Along with their own strains, they showcase all of the local growers and most sought after brands. They sell an abundance of indicas, sativas and hybrids. There are strains with incredibly high THC potency as well as those that feature a greater ratio of CBD. I have my choice of effects. Some of the strains are better for getting motivated for a workout, hike or project around the house. Some help to relax, de-stress and combat anxiety. I have specific strains I like to help me sleep, treat a migraine or hang out with friends. With practice, I’ve gotten quite good at rolling a decent joint. I have learned how much weed to pack and how tightly to roll to ensure a smooth and consistent burn. However, the process requires extra gear, such as rolling papers and a griner. It also creates a bit of a mess and some waste. There are times when I prefer pre-rolls because of their simplicity. I can buy a single pre-roll to try something new or a whole pack of favorites. They are affordable, portable and perfect every time. The dispensary carries pre-rolls filled with top-shelf flower as well as cheaper options filled with shake. They sell varieties infused with concentrate for added potency.

Using edibles and topicals to treat arthritis

I have issues with arthritis in my handles.

The cold winter weather worsens the symptoms.

My fingers tend to swell and my joints become painful. It is difficult to form a tight fist. Certain activities become challenging. I struggle to button my shirts and type on my laptop. Since my job is handled entirely by way of my computer, I am not as productive. I have considered prescription medicines. However, after looking into the many side-effects, I am reluctant to take the risk. I’ve tried over-the-counter pain relievers and home remedies without much success. The legalization of recreational cannabis in my home state has been a huge relief. I don’t need to spend the time or money on a doctor’s visit. A doctor’s reference and medical marijuana card are not necessary. My valid government identification is enough to allow me to shop at any of the dispensaries in the state. There is a cannabis dispensary a short fifteen minute drive from my home. They offer every imaginable consumption method and the most well-recognized producers. I asked the budtenders for recommendations and have experimented with different strains and potency of products. I’ve found that a combination of edibles and topicals works the best for treating my arthritis. While the effects of edibles take quite a while to set in, they are also especially intense and long-lasting. I can also consume them without drawing any attention or requiring extra equipment. The topicals provide localized relief. I rub cannabis-infused ointments directly into my fingers. The cannabinoids influence receptors in the skin . For edibles and topicals, I look for options that are high in CBD and low in THC. CBD has proven to reduce chronic pain and inflammation.
