I never experimented with or knew much about cannabis before it was legal. Even when dispensaries began to appear around the block, I didn’t even know what they actually were. Marijuana is now legal both recreationally and legally where I live. I didn’t even know that news until my friends teased me and told me about it the other day. They told me I had to try it now, and I couldn’t help but agree. Walking into a dispensary for the first time in my life was completely unlike anything I could have prepared myself for. I went straight to the budtender for assistance. That was when I realized there was actually more than one type of strain of cannabis. There were actually so many I started to freak out a little bit. The budtender’s questions continued to overwhelm me. What kind of experience would I prefer to have? Did I want to feel more relaxed or alert? Was I trying to fend off any pain? It was all so much, I didn’t know where to start. He gave me a short lesson on basic cannabis facts so that I would have a bit of a clearer picture. He also let me ask my list full of questions, since I literally didn’t know anything about the topic. He was very patient with me and offered a lot of information. He told me that my best bet was to get a little bit of a few different strains in order to try some different types and see which I liked best. I had to get cash from the ATM outside before showing the budtender my ID and special card I needed to purchase from the dispensary. I was so excited to try out what I purchased. It was such a cool experience going in there.
