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.

Hanging out at the cannabis dispensary for my birthday

In the past, I always loved going out for my birthday.

I would start with a big birthday dinner, and then hit the bars and clubs to get free drinks all night.

This is a college town, filled with hard-partying young people who love buying drinks for a birthday boy, even if we have never met each other before. This year I was turning 50 and did not feel like going out on the town. My age was catching up with me, and I no longer wanted to hang out with young people, even if I did get free drinks. Instead I decided to have a low-key birthday, and I went to the local cannabis dispensary. This shop is the only place in town that has a cannabis dispensary as well as a smoking lounge. Remember how I said I would get free drinks at the bar for my birthday? The same thing happened at the cannabis dispensary smokers lounge, because everyone wanted to give me a hit of what they were smoking. That evening I was given three different cannabis edibles, two vape pens, and more hits of weed than I can recall. Someone who worked at the cannabis dispensary was smart enough to take my keys, and one of the people there gave me a ride home at the end of the night. I really loved getting all that free cannabis, but what I loved even more was the sense of community I felt at the dispensary. In the cannabis community, we take good care of each other.

A special meal at the cannabis cafe

For our anniversary, my wife booked us a table at the most exclusive restaurant in town.

She had made the reservation three months earlier, but never told me about it so it could be a surprise for me.

This place is incredibly busy, and it takes that long just to get a table for dinner! When she told me that we were going to the cannabis cafe for our big dinner, I was beside myself with excitement. I had been wanting to go there ever since it opened last year, but as I said the seats were highly in demand. Dressed to the nines, my wife and I took an Uber to the cannabis cafe for the meal of a lifetime. We knew better than to drive, because the meal would involve so many cannabis products it would be illegal and dangerous for us to drive back home afterward. The first course was a light appetizer of a crab salad, with a dusting of crystalized cannabis over the top of it. I couldn’t detect a hint of marijuana flavor in the salad, but by the time I finished eating it I was already buzzed. The main course was a pan-fried fish filet, accompanied by a green sauce that blended three different cannabis strains along with pine nuts and herbs. For dessert we had a marijuana sorbet topped with caramel made from cannabis oil. The meal contained so much cannabis that I was still high when I woke up the next morning! I don’t even remember taking an Uber back home from the cannabis cafe.

Art night at the cannabis dispensary

Art and weed go hand in hand.

I don’t care what kind of art you like to do, smoking weed will enhance it. Be it music, sculpting, drawing, painting, or making collages, every form of creativity can be aided by using a little cannabis. In my case I use a lot of weed, not just a little. I like to get stoned to the moon and back when I sit down to paint a new canvas. I can still do my art when I am sober and clear-headed, but it just isn’t as much fun! Recently I got to combine my two favorite things in the world when the local cannabis dispensary hosted an event they called “Stoned Painting.” This is exactly what it sounds like, a night when customers could hang out in the smokers lounge of the cannabis dispensary and work on a painting. I have heard of something similar, involving wine instead of marijuana, but that didn’t sound like nearly as much fun. There were twelve of us who gathered in the small smokers lounge behind the cannabis dispensary, where a local artist led us in a painting session. We all painted the same image, a bird perched on the edge of a crescent moon, but everyone was allowed to smoke or vape whatever kind of cannabis they wanted. Much to my surprise, some of the people there didn’t smoke cannabis at all! That didn’t stop me from enjoying myself. I bought a pre-rolled joint of Purple Haze and had it dangling from the corner of my mouth as I worked diligently on my painting.

Surprise! My birthday party was at the cannabis dispensary

My wife Jamie told me she was planning a surprise party for my birthday.

I asked her why she told me, if it was supposed to be a surprise.

Jamie smartly answered that I would eventually figure out something was going on behind my back. She told me about the party so that I wouldn’t sneak around and try to figure out what was happening. I told her I didn’t want a party, because I was turning fifty which was incredibly depressing for me. Jamie told me to shut up and let her do something nice for me. I shouldn’t have complained, because it turns out she set up my party at the smokers lounge in the local cannabis dispensary. I didn’t even know you could host private events at the cannabis dispensary! Even though I knew I was getting a surprise party I was still caught off guard because I never expected it to be at the marijuana shop. Jamie and I went in to use the annual birthday discount offered at the cannabis dispensary. Anyone who makes a cannabis purchase on their birthday gets 25% off. Imagine my genuine surprise when I found all my closest friends waiting for me in the cannabis dispensary! We all went out back to the screen-in patio used as a smokers lounge, where we ate cannabis-infused cupcakes and washed it down with hemp beer. Have you ever had hemp beer? It’s awful! I have to say that Jamie did a remarkable thing, because I never expected my party to be at the cannabis dispensary.
