My introduction to the new world of cannabis edibles couldn’t have been better.
Seriously, just looking back on the whole experience, I’m still so blown away by that weekend my sister and I spent. There are just the two of us now as both our parents have died. We are in our late forties and that has come with a lot of change to both of our lives. We’re both newly empty nesters but we’re both lucky to have great partners. Still, it’s been weird not to be able to turn to mom or dad while I’m adjusting to not being a daily, active mom anymore. Plus, my sister and I got a bit sideways when dad died and that played a part in us not seeing much of each other. So a trip to see her was in order. The beauty part is that, in her state, recreational marijuana is legal. I hadn’t really used cannabis since I was in college. By and large, I’d sort of not been using marijuana much at all. My sister, on the other hand, had availed herself of the access to the cannabis dispensary offered in her state. That’s why she suggested that I come to her. Man, am I ever glad I did that. My sister stopped at the local cannabis spot on the way home from picking me up at the airport. I had a puff that night of some OG kush but was pretty zonked from the flight. But the next morning, my sister took me to the cannabis cafe to share some of the best coffee in town. And we split this delicious cannabis edible as well. We eventually ended up in the park and talking as if we were girls again. This is going to be a regular visit for sure.
