This year for Christmas I decided to surprise my parents.
I haven’t been back home in at least 10 years.
It’s probably been longer than that, but I lost count. My mom and dad always complain that I don’t come home for the holidays. Now that my girlfriend and I are no longer together, there was no reason for me to go to the tropics. I decided to visit with my mom and dad and I made plane reservations at the last minute. I was stuck sitting in between two people that were taking up a lot more space than I was. The plane ride made me feel very nervous and anxious. I was on the plane for nearly 5 hours and that was a lot longer than I care to be on the plane. By the time we landed at the airport, I was ready to turn around and go back to my apartment. As soon as I rented a car, I went right to the closest legal marijuana dispensary. I knew that I could buy a couple of edibles and that would take away some of the anxiety that I was feeling. I got edibles from the marijuana shop that were made from live resin. I took two because I wanted to make sure that they were going to work. I was stoned by the time I got home and in a really great mood. Things could not have gone better that first night. I dodged all of my parents’ questions and I managed to spend several hours with them without a single argument.
