The smokers lounge should have a different name

When I first heard about the new smokers lounge I was bursting with anticipation.

In my mind’s eye, it was a place very much like a saloon or a tavern, except there wasn’t any booze, just weed.

The reality of the situation was much different than I imagined. Thanks to state and federal laws, smoking inside a public building is illegal in all cases. This applies to tobacco and cannabis, and meant that the so-called smokers lounge would have to be free of smoke. Not exactly what I expected from a “smokers” lounge. Vape products and smokeless cannabis products are allowed, but that’s it. After I got over my initial disappointment, I found that there was a lot of fun to be had from other cannabis products. Normally I am an old-school cannabis smoker. All I need is a pipe, a bong, some rolling papers, and some high quality cannabis buds and I am good to go! At the smokers lounge we can use any cannabis products we choose, so long as they are smokeless. I told the manager of the cannabis shop that they should change the name to the Non-Smokers Lounge instead, but he didn’t think it was funny. My favorite new discovery at the lounge has been the cannabis drinks. They have a small bar area, but instead of serving alcohol they serve cannabis and CBD-infused drinks, including juice, soda, water, and coffee. For some reason I find cannabis drinks to be much more gratifying than edibles. They taste good, and they get me really stoned after just a few sips.

Writing about using cannabis for my psychology class

When I was going to school I started smoking a lot of pot, but when it started to get in the way of my classes I switched gears plus tried to incorporate weed into my studies! Case in point was the large research paper I had to write for my psychology class, then I decided to use an odd topic, plus research how much cannabis use impacted our preference of motion pictures.

I actually picked horror motion pictures plus comedies in particular, because these are the two genres of motion picture that rely most heavily on emotional responses; then a comedy makes you laugh, a horror motion picture makes you fearful… Then how much does cannabis consumption affect the experience? The results will not come as a surprise to anyone who smokes cannabis regularly, since these genres of motion picture rely on automatic responses from the brain, cannabis helps people care about them even more than ever; and for example, a lot of people will simply try plus assume the ending to a horror motion picture, but when smoking cannabis they just get absorbed into the story, which makes it more terrifying.

Cannabis allows people to shut down the analytic part of their brain, plus enhance the emotional response to stimuli. While smoking some cannabis sativa before a large test won’t help you in any way, smoking out before a horror movie will help you care about it a lot more… My psychology mentor gave me a high score for the project, plus based on his notes I know it’s because he smokes a lot of cannabis himself. I wish I could write all my term papers about marijuana.

Bad dreams are muted because of cannabis

As a kid nobody ever wanted to have a sleepover with me, because I was always very weird when I was sleeping.

I would regularly talk in my sleep, and even walk in my sleep.

It creeped out all of my friends. During the day I’m fine and dandy like sour candy, but at night everything changed. In high school I tried smoking weed for the first time, and found it to be a game-changer. The first time I smoked cannabis was also the first time I ever got a good night’s sleep with no bad dreams. I’m not a scientist or a sleep researcher, so I don’t know why cannabis muted my dreams so well, but I couldn’t argue with the results. Melatonin helps me fall asleep, but always makes my dreams more vivid, which makes them scarier. With a little cannabis in the mix, those vile, disturbing nightmares seem distant, as if I’m watching them on a TV screen from across the room. The dreams are still there, but the cannabis mutes them, so they aren’t as upsetting. When I wake up I feel refreshed and recharged, and never remember what I dreamed about, and it’s all thanks to cannabis! If you have these kinds of nightmares, talk to your budtender about strains of cannabis that might help you. Cannabis may not help you like it helped me, because every brain has different chemistry, but it’s worth a shot! There are also some great websites with information about how cannabis strains can impact sleep and affect your dreams.

The vagrants make every single one of my cannabis purchasers uncomfortable

I know full well that I am going to sound like a jerk, but it has to be said – the abundance of winos plus vagrants in this community is adversely affecting my business.

I am not a hateful person, plus I do feel a good deal of sympathy for the local homeless population, but the way things are going, with some of these bums harassing my purchasers, I may end up on the streets myself.

When people come to my cannabis dispensary they need to feel safe plus they need to be left alone. More and more vagrants have started to hang around my shop, plus a few of my loyal purchasers have started going somewhere else to buy their cannabis. I finally reached out personally to all of these purchasers, plus asked them if they would be interested in a cannabis delivery service. If they were simply uncomfortable kneeling in front of my cannabis shop, then I could hire drivers to bring the products to them, instead, however everyone seemed interested, so I had a website built to allow for online cannabis orders, plus hired a delivery driver. What simply started as a problem wound up being a bonus for my cannabis shop, because swiftly my sales went up! It turns out that people will order a lot more cannabis from home then they are willing to buy in person. I don’t know why that is, despite the fact that I can tell you that online cannabis sales are much higher than in-store sales used to be. I still have the real vagrant problem to deal with, but at least my cannabis shop is thriving.

I miss the old days before cannabis dispensaries

Everything is so much more convenient these days, thanks to the advent of modern dispensaries and the legalization of weed deliveries.

I love having so much ready access to marijuana.

I can literally place an order at midnight and have it delivered before 2AM, and trust me this has come in handy a few times! Still, I miss my younger days. Weed was so much harder to find back then, especially the good stuff, but it also meant more. When you have to work for something it’s more satisfying to achieve it. When I was a teenager we would have to hunt around to find quality cannabis, and it was always a cause for celebration when we scored some. Currently there is no joy or wonder in cannabis, because it is as easy to get as fruit or vegetables. And then there is the matter of price! The prices at the cannabis dispensary are far above anything I have ever paid for weed before. I understand why the costs are so steep, because this is high-end cannabis cultivated by experts and scientists. They have certain strains of sativa that taste like grape bubble gum,, or tutti-frutti ice cream. It’s a stunning array of flavors, but if you want this premium cannabis you have to pay a premium price. I miss the old days, when marijuana was all pretty much the same, and it didn’t break the bank to buy it! I’m just an old fashioned kind of guy, I suppose, but I love smoking cannabis which means like it or not I have to visit the dispensary.
