My wife has pretty bad allergies, and they aren’t the seasonal kind they exist all year around. This is hard for her, especially since they seem to get worse as she gets older. I try to be a supportive husband and help out when I can, but there isn’t much I can do for something like that! I do drive her to her medical appointments, so she never has to worry about being behind the wheel. I also never smoke inside, which is difficult come summer time. I am an avid cannabis user, one who cannot smoke inside his own home. I am glad that we live in a time with so many options, because the cannabis dispensary has dozens of different smokeless options for me. Although this is great, and I am not above using a vape pen or having some edibles, nothing hits me the same way as smoking out. As the stupid internet meme says, “it just hits different” well for me that is 100% true when it comes to cannabis. I don’t want a blunt, or a rolling paper, I just want high quality cannabis ground up finely and smoked from a pipe or a bong. Even if my wife is not at home, I cannot smoke cannabis inside, because the secondhand smoke seems to stick to everything. Even though it is inconvenient, I must remember that my cannabis use is not as important as my wife’s respiratory health. It is a sacrifice that I am happy to make, although I guess I do need to vent about it from time to time.

My experience with a cannabis contest
In the rage to have contests and competitions, it seems that art forms are being misused.
Take cooking shows, for example. There is an art to making delicious food, and as with any other art, the results are very subjective. What is too salty for one person is not salty enough for the next. To have a contest saying that one plate of delicious food is slightly more delicious than the next is silly to me. How can one dish, or movie, or painting, be compared to other works of art? I was recently invited to judge a cannabis contest, and although I disagreed with the general concept, I still accepted the invite. Why turn down a bunch of free cannabis, right? Money is tight these days, and this is the kind of cannabis I can never afford to buy. This is the type of cannabis that costs as much for an eighth as what I will spend on a half ounce. I had no idea how I would judge and score cannabis, because how can a high be quantified in numbers? I had to pace myself, too, because otherwise the different blends and strains of sativa and indica would blend together into one big juicy stone and I couldn’t tell one weed from the next. I have to say that it ended up being a pretty amazing weekend, although I remember very little of it, and am not sure I actually voted for the cannabis cup winner or not. It is all kind of vague, but then again, isn’t that the point of cannabis?
Two kinds of movie nights, two kinds of cannabis
One night I had a close call because I left my bag of cannabis gummies on the counter, and one of the kids thought they were regular candy
There are two very different kinds of movie nights that happen around here. The first kind is the style that most of you are familiar with, the family movie night. We allow the kids to invite their friends, we pop popcorn and order pizza and watch movies in our pajamas. It is good clean fun for young and old. The other kind of movie night involves adults only. The movies shown are edgier and more violent, and the snacks are very different. We have beer and wine instead of soda, and the popcorn is replaced by bong loads of cannabis. To me cannabis can make a good movie seem great, and a bad movie be the most hilarious thing ever. For real, cannabis can make any movie better, and turn the whole experience into a nonstop barrel of laughs. On family movie nights things are a bit different, because of course subjecting children or pregnant women to secondhand cannabis smoke is not cool. On those nights I switch to cannabis edibles, and load up on my THC that way, although it isn’t the same, it’s still fun. One night I had a close call because I left my bag of cannabis gummies on the counter, and one of the kids thought they were regular candy. I caught it before the kid ate any of my edibles, which could have been a crappy situation. More often that not there are no kids present, so I can leave my edibles, my cannabis, and my bong out in the open and not have it messed with.
Making moonshine and growing marijuana
While the pots are cooking, and turning the mash into spirits, that is the time to tend a cannabis crop.
I built my first still at age 12. I had been helping my old man with his still since I could walk, so this felt like the natural next step. My dad was very encouraging to me, and in his own way I think he was proud. Moonshine distillation has been in our family since the Prohibition days, either for professional purposes or just for pleasure. As the years rolled by, I found that I enjoyed making moonshine, but didn’t want to do it professionally. Moonshine was my hobby, but cannabis was my passion. Oh, don’t look so shocked, you think a lot of bootleggers out there don’t grow cannabis crops in addition to making whiskey? Distilling spirits and growing cannabis both require the same principle attribute, which is patience. You cannot rish good liquor, or good cannabis, it takes time to turn out right, so a moonshiner always has spare time on his hands. While the pots are cooking, and turning the mash into spirits, that is the time to tend a cannabis crop. Not only does it keep you busy, but it generates a second revenue stream, because both cannabis and moonshine are very valuable commodities. Besides, why not piggyback one crime on top of another, because an illegal still site getting raided means they will find your cannabis crops too. That’s why the main rule of moonshining and cannabis cultivation is to not be afraid to run and not look back. If the cops find your site, you can never go back there again no matter how many stills or cannabis plants you have.
Cannabis and whiskey is my favorite combo
When I was in college, I developed a bad opinion of stoners.
I knew so many students that blew off class regularly, just to hang out and get drunk and stoned all day.
It’s not that I was above cutting loose and having fun, but to me drinking and smoking was something you did sometimes, not all the time. I kept focused on my studies, and it was not until many years after graduation that I slowed down to really enjoy the benefits of marijuana. All said and done, I am glad I didn’t get into smoking marijuana back then, because that surely wouldn’t have helped me graduate. Now that I am out in the working world, well established, I have the time and the freedom to slow down and enjoy life, and that means a nice bit of cannabis every once in a while. I do not smoke every day, nor do I drink every day, but a couple of times a week I will get out the cannabis and the whiskey and allow myself to relax. Cannabis and whiskey to me is like cookies and milk, or peanut butter and jelly, where both things enhance the other. After a long, hard week at the office I will load up the bong with some OG Kush or some Purple Haze, pour a double shot of Jack, and sit in front of the fireplace for an hour or two, just getting my head right. Any more cannabis than one bong load always puts me right to sleep, so usually I cap it in one bowl.
