Cannabis changed my opinion of Illinois

As a kid in smalltown Illinois there were not a whole lot of fun things for me to do.

The town was called La Harpe, Illinois, and I am not even sure it’s still around.

The sign coming into town said the population was 1,200, but my dad said that was not accurate. By the time I was spending my summers there, La Harpe was only about three or four hundred people. There was an old park in the middle of town, a couple of places to eat, a gas station, a grocery store, and a drug store. That was it! Luckily the drug store sold comic books, so at least I had something to do. Despite all of that, I remember Illinois very fondly. Illinois was where I got my first taste of cannabis, from a local kid that was growing a patch of plants near the railroad tracks. Perhaps inspired by the movie Stand By Me, and fueled by boredom, I would spend hours walking the railroad tracks around La Harpe, Illinois. On one of my treks I came across a small patch of cannabis plants that were so close to harvesting I could smell them from a hundred yards away. I met a teenager named Matt, who was about to harvest the cannabis, and offered to give me some if I helped him. With a head full of marijuana smoke, I started viewing Illinoius in a whole different way! Thanks to Matt and his cannabis, the remainder of my summer vacations in remote Illinois were a lot of fun.

The three reasons I want to visit Albuquerque

The final reason I want to visit Albuquerque is, of course, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

There are three reasons I wanted to visit Albuquerque, and they are all very nerdy. First off, when I was a little kid I saw an episode of the Simpsons involving the local baseball team the Springfield Isotopes. The team was about to be sold to the city of Albuquerque, and Homer Simpson had to fight to save his hometown team. I have come to find out that a few years ago one of the amateur baseball teams in Albuquerque changed their name to the Isotopes. I know it’s nerdy, but I really want to go see a baseball game with the Albuquerque Isotopes! The second reason I want to visit the biggest city in New Mexico is the cannabis. I live eight hundred miles away from Albuquerque, and yet for years I have heard how amazing their local cannabis is. I am not sure how they grow such quantities of cannabis in the middle of the desert, but I hope to find out. The final reason I want to visit Albuquerque is, of course, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Both of these shows were filmed locally, and there are tours of Albuquerque that drive you around to all the most famous filming locations. First I want to visit one of the famous Albuquerque cannabis dispensaries, and then I want to take that Breaking Bad tour and relive my favorite TV moments. I plan to record some videos during my trip, so I can share the wonders of Albuquerque with you all. But if the cannabis there is as good as everyone says I may forget to record anything.

I miss Los Angeles

Recently I left my hometown of Los Angeles and spent a few days on vacation in the midwest. They call it the Heartland of America, but to me it seemed pretty boring. I was out there for a family reunion, because no one else in the family wanted to go out to Los Angeles. It was quite a trip! My first day there I found out that cannabis was still illegal in that state, even for medicinal purposes! It was like living in caveman times, I tell you! I was eager to jump back on the plane and return to Los Angeles for many reasons, but getting cannabis was the biggest reason. Did you know that in Los Angeles you can legally purchase an ounce of weed per day? If you have the right medical paperwork you can purchase up to eight ounces of cannabis per day. I don’t know who in Los Angeles needs half a pound of marijuana every single day, but I like having that option! When I did find a local farmer with some cannabis to sell I learned that the quality of their product is not in the same realm of what Los Angeles has to offer. In LA I can get Blue Dream, Purple Haze, Girl Scout Cookies, Acapulco Gold, or any other strain I can possibly think of. In the heartland I had to settle for a bag of stems and seeds that looked like it was grown by the overpass. I could not get back to Los Angeles fast enough! I will take LA weed over the Heartland any day of the week.

Denver is too much of a good thing

If ever there was a case of having “too much of a good thing” it would have to be the city of Denver, Colorado. This city is just too much fun. Whenever I come for a weekend, I wish I had stayed for a week. The one time I visited Denver for a whole week, it still wasn’t enough! I was looking up home prices on Zillow to see if I could afford to move to the Mile High City. I am a nut for sports, and not just basketball and football, either. I like hockey, rugby, and professional tennis. Denver has me covered on all the bases, and more! Some nights I have to flip a coin to decide which of the Denver hometown teams I am going to watch and support. Although Denver is world-famous for its locally grown cannabis, don’t expect to be able to smoke it at a game. It is legal to purchase and possess cannabis in the city of Denver, but public consumption is still against the law. Unlike other states you won’t go to jail for smoking cannabis in Denver, but getting caught doing it in public will get you a serious fine and a citation. Cannabis use is one for private residences and property. Although Denver is cannabis-friendly it is still a city of law and order, so don’t get too crazy when you come here on vacation! My biggest problem with Denver is it has so much amazing cannabis to offer I always end up overdoing it and smoking way too much!

The cannabis culture in Seattle

Writing is an art, which means there isn’t just one right way to do it. This is actually what I love the most about writing – it’s a way for a person to reinvent themselves. I do all kinds of creative writing, but I also do more serious forms of writing for my job. As a freelance writer I pick up extra gigs every week to generate online web content, or material to use in marketing campaigns for businesses. This is not my passion, of course, but by doing these writing assignments I can pay the bills and keep chasing my real passion! I need the money to pay rent, keep the lights on, and buy cannabis from one of the many Seattle weed stores. This is where things get interesting, because recently I did an interview with the owner of a local cannabis dispensary, and it might lead to a job! I never bothered applying for a job at the dispensary, because competition is so stiff in Seattle. This isn’t the bush leagues, Seattle is the Big League when it comes to cannabis. Most dispensaries in Seattle won’t even take your job application if you don’t have at least 2 years experience in the field. When I interviewed Ed for a series of blogs about innovation in cannabis development in the Seattle area, I really impressed him. He said that even though I had no dispensary training my deep knowledge of cannabis was enough to get me a job. Now I have two jobs that involve the amazing Seattle cannabis culture.

I had a great time spending the day in Buffalo

My wife and I scheduled a new furnace and AC installation job with a Buffalo, New York service provider. The service provider told us that it was going to take most of the day to complete the installation of the furnace and the new AC machine. Neither one of us wanted to spend the whole day there watching them work, so we made plans for the neighbor to check in on the Buffalo AC installation technicians and my wife and I went to spend the day in downtown buffalo. We had a ton of fun and we did some of the tourist things like go to the museum and the stadium. While we were out on the town, we ran into one of the players from the Buffalo Bills football team. I recognized the guy immediately and my girlfriend made me go up to the guy and ask him for an autograph. I was super nervous and I really didn’t want to ask, but the football player was super gracious and nice and happily signed the napkin from the restaurant. When my wife and I got back to the house, we had one heck of a story to tell the neighbor. The Buffalo heating and AC service provider still wasn’t done with our installation. We had been gone for several hours and they still had several hours left to go. We sat outside on the patio and drank some beers. We told the neighbor about meeting the Buffalo football star and I showed off my autographed napkin. We had fun on the town and managed to get a new AC in the house.

The good points of cannabis vapes

It took myself and others a while to get around to vaping, but i have always loved smoking traditional flower! Now that medicinal plus recreational cannabis are both legal in New York State, I’m able to purchase lab-diagnosed oil from a licensed dispensary.

I have access to a wide selection of flavors plus potency of disposable plus refillable cartridges, while I will always appreciate the experience of smoking a hand-rolled joint, there are a lot of unique benefits to vapes… Vape pens work by heating up vape oil just to the point of converting it into vapor, then there is no combustion, which avoids the production of smoke plus ash.

Inhaling the vapor absorbs the TCH plus other cannabinoids into the blood for quick onset of effects. Plus, the combustion of cannabis results in carcinogens, which are cancer-causing toxins. Vaping significantly lessens the occasion of inhaling carcinogens. It is much easier on the lungs, however, vaping converts approximately 46% of THC into vapor while a joint only converts around 25%. Vaping uses a much lower temperature that preserves the overpriced cannabinoids plus terpenes. The terpenes are not only responsible for the smell of cannabis however also the taste, but a enjoyable quality vape pen offers settings that allow the heat to be adjusted to the ideal level to enjoy maximum flavor. All I need to do is press a button, inhale plus enjoy. Vapes don’t necessitate any extra gear or skills. They don’t create any noticeable odor or smoke. They are beautifully discreet, portable plus easy. I have found that the majority of New York dispensaries offer an impressive collection of indicas, sativas plus hybrids for vaping. I can even choose CBD vape pens that fit right into our pocket.
