Not only that but these folks are local and want to put their money back into the community.
I’m so very thankful that my sense of civic duty overrode my feelings about cannabis. Otherwise, I don’t think I would have discovered so much goodness. But that’s what happened when a cannabis dispensary opened up just down the block from my business. I am the owner and proprietor of a small gift shop and card store. This is a business that was handed down to me. Actually, my grandfather started it on this very street all those many decades ago. Back then, this was a main thoroughfare for this part of the city. But over the years, it sort of ended up getting a bit rundown. As part of a concentrated revitalizing plan, new businesses were recruited and encouraged to set up shop here in this part of the city. The local cannabis spot was one of the latest to join our business community just a few yeas ago when recreational marijuana was legalized. I come from a background where cannabis was thought to be basically evil. So I had some mixed feelings about going into this marijuana business to offer my hand and encouragement to the new local cannabis spot. But I did go in and I was amazed to find such an appealing retail outlet. Not only that but these folks are local and want to put their money back into the community. My first visit turned into regular visits and I’ve learned quite a lot about cannabis products. While I still haven’t gotten up the courage to partake, I sure do feel a lot better about that possibility. Either way, I’m just so thankful that the local cannabis spot is here and part of the community.
