Weed Tasters This Week: Black & Blue

I freaked a bit when I tried this one. 

I met this guy online. You could say it was a hook up, but we continue to hook up now, so I guess that's means we kind of date. 

So anyway, I invited him over a couple of nights ago, and he brought with him so much weed I could hardly believe it. 

He carried a backpack on his back that was loaded with mason jars wrapped in wool work socks so as not to damage them while in transit. The jars themselves were loaded with weed, I was later to learn each one a different strain.

I had some weed left from the night before but he would have none of using it, insisting only to smoke his weed and save mine. We talked and had the usual great round of hot sex. But the best was yet to come.

Towards the end of the evening he pulled out all of his jars and took out a jar labelled "Black and Blue". He reached in and took a pile out and started rolling. 

We smoked that joint and got incredibly buzzed off of it, making it not so much of the end of the evening as I thought it would be. After a great round he pulled out a scale and started weighing different weed from different bottles and putting it, with labels, into baggies that he got from his pack. 

When I asked what he was doing, he said he was getting sample packs ready for me. He left me with about 12 grams of samples. It was fantastic because I had just run out. Like the weed fairy came. 

From a weed perspective, I can honestly say that Black & Blue is worth a try. It took me away to a place for sure. I couldn't tell you what the actual THC percentage is in it, but I suspect it's rather high because it gave me a buzz that persisted for about three hours off of one shared joint. 

What a nice guy he must be to do such a thing. That, or he thinks I'm a whore and he has to pay me for our visitations. Either way, I'll take it. Free weed rocks my world.

Weed Hype - Cannabis Store vs. Independent Dispensary

So it's like this.

I have had the opportunity to sample a pretty broad spectrum of what the Cannabis Store has to offer. And I must say I have enjoyed all of that which I have partaken in. 

But now the "naysayers" of the Cannabis Store are cranking up about the amount of THC that is in the weed we are smoking from the weed store. 

Avid smoker and entertainer extraordinaire Rick Surette says that, where he shops, the weed has a much higher percentage of THC than that of the cannabis store, and he feels that the government should leave the independent dispensaries open so that seasoned smokers can still get their potent pot. 

"The weed that I'm getting from GG's in Lower Sackville is 22 percent THC. That's five percent higher than anything you can get at the weed store." said Surette. 

So just what is THC anyway? THC is responsible for the way your brain and body respond to cannabis, including the high an intoxication. When the marijuana plant falls below 3% THC, it is considered hemp, which is used for many industrial and textile purposes. 

Rick Surette says  cannabis store "sucks."

The proper name for THC is Tetrahydrocannibanol. THC is the main psychoactive ingredient of cannabis; meaning, it's what gets you high. 

As we move forward into the new world of marketing weed, it will be interesting to see if it eventually gets as aggressive as selling alcohol. Right now of course the government is making sure that packaging and what not is not attractive to young people who shouldn't be getting their hands on weed, even if it is legal. 

As far as the weak or strong argument is concerned, I would have to say the proof is in the pudding. Should I believe a street dealer that his stuff is better, or should I believe the government when they say their stuff is better. 

Well, the government stuff is legal, and the THC in their weed is proven by the government themselves. So, do I take the word of my old dealer who is trying to unload, or do I go with the new kids on the block? 

I think this deserves more investigation. At the time of this article, GG's in Lower Sackville has been shut down. Maybe the decision of where to buy will be made for us as more and more private shops get shut down.

It's A Mess

This is my mess. I like to make a mess every day just so that I can work to clean it up the next day and inevitably mess it all up all over again. The cycle continues today with no exceptions. I don't think there is any other way out of it. At least, I can't see it anyway. 

Sometimes, if I keep typing just for the sake of it, something interesting comes out. Like a figure or a fact that leads to some kind of conversation. I can't think of any right now, but I know that's how it works. 

You know, if you're a guy and not into sports, there isn't a whole lot to talk about with your average Joe. They're not into politics or anything worthwhile.. just hockey, which sucks for me because I don't know jack shit about hockey. 

I met a guy this week who wanted me to be his on-call sex slave. Or at least that's what it amounted to in my mind. He was only available when he was available, no weekends and he had a daughter. He couldn't dedicate a Saturday to me but he sure would be late for work because of me. Sorry. Do not pass go. 

But, the very next day I ran into a guy online that I had been talking to for a long time but hadn't seen for a while. He came over and we hung out. He brought a vast collection of weed with him and left me with quite a bit. Fuck we had a good time. 

My days are now jam packed with sitting at the computer trying to find appropriate employment. I have applied to several media outlets so far this week. Hopefully I will hear something back from one of them tomorrow or next week.

Smokin' and Relaxing.....

I was sitting at my computer last night and an email came in from my employer addressed to me telling me the rules around smoking pot at work. At first I thought, "wow are they gonna let us smoke pot at work?" but I clued in pretty quick.

But I was still paranoid because I had just smoked a joint and was high as a kite when I read it. I couldn't help myself though, I had to ask another person at work if they received the same email. And, of course, everyone had.

The point is, I was immediately paranoid that someone in the class had found out that I'm a smoker and would translate that to the others in the wrong way. Then, I thought to myself and said "NO, WAIT...POT IS LEGAL!". I felt actual relief when the thought crossed my mind. Don't know why I was so worried that someone at work knows I smoke. Just kinda freaked me out a bit.

The week was like an emotional roller coaster ride through the dark halls of mount doom. I walked through this week with the Reaper at my side, and yet, even with the weight of it, I managed to make it through.

Will next week be as good or bad or even worse? I can't tell the future. But I can tell you the weed I'm getting served by the Cannabis Store is premium stuff.  It's really getting me high and letting stress out. Don't know why it works, it just does.

The Clyde Street Cannabis Store is pretty OK. Very professional and market savvy.  I think they did everything pretty well. As far as them running out of product is concerned, I'm sure they had a pretty hard time keeping whiskey on the shelf after prohibition too. In other words, they'll learn more about the demands of customers in the coming months.

They Shut Her Down: Remedy is Gone

Well the government is making one promise come true.

All the dispensaries in the city are closed. MY dispensary is closed.  Bastards.

I only found out because I was looking for a cookie from my local. I was soon to find out that wasn't going to happen. After my shear disappointment and screaming on the sidewalk, I digressed into a more civilized person.

From Remedy I pondered going to Canadian Tire, which if you know the neighborhood you'll understand it's a very short walk. I walked into the Canadian Tire store only to turn around and walk out. It was jammed in there and I wan't in the mood.

From there, I went to Shopper's Drug Mart, hoping to find a notebook or something reasonably like it to take to work on Tuesday so I have something to write on. Walked through the madhouse they call the Superstore on Quinpool and arrived at Shopper's unscathed yet bothered from the crowds.

I found what I was looking for in Shopper's. I got a 300 page notebook. That should do it for the first day.

I am so upset that Remedy is gone. It was one of the greatest conveniences of living where I live. I will miss it and the staff. I sincerely hope the government of Nova Scotia knows the standards have been set in Halifax, so they better be able to live up to them.

Weed Review #1: Super Mario

Super Mario is an awesome weed for an awesome price. I get it from Remedy on Quinpool Road in Halifax. 

When I first started buying it I was amazed at how low the price was at a mere ten bucks a gram.

The first time I tried it, I ordered three grams of the Sativa and made out of the adventure feeling somewhat prosperous. I was't expecting great things from it because it was, in my mind, a discount weed, so a good buzz would be all to expect. 

But it wasn't like that at all. Super Mari really does it for me. 

I started to get a bit into edibles for the body buzz. It's quite amazing what a cookie can do for you after a hard day at work. Yum. 

So I'm already impressed that Super Mario is relatively inexpensive. Can you imaging the excitement I felt when I went into Remedy one day and found Super Mario for six dollars a gram! I was very excited. It was like Christmas had come early. 

Needless to say, my weed budget went much further that week. Instead of four grams I was able to get seven. Not sure how that works out mathematically, but it worked out perfectly for the  amount of money I had on me at the time. 

I must say that out of all the dispensaries I have been in, Remedy on Quinpool is definitely the friendliest and has the largest selection. Now lets see if the government will leave well enough alone and let them stay open after legalization of marijuana happens on October 17 in Canada... I certainly hope so.

NOVA SCOTIA MARIJUANA LAWS: FACTS

Just in case you were wondering.

WARNING: STUPID SHIT

Can you guess how old I am by my voice?  

I speak to people on the phone every day, and I have made up a little game of who's who from the clients that I answer for. 

When I ask them how old they are, I always hold up a little placard in my mind with their age written on it. Once they tell me, I sing songs of celebration or defeat. After all, I can't be right all the time. 

My hatred of the word "correct" continues to grow and grow. People use it way too much to try and sound more official. A simple "yes" or "no" will do.

Just A Day Off

SEPT 20, 2018 

Sitting here relaxed and alone, listening to Queen through someone else's ear.

If you haven't heard it, listen to Five's version of "We Will Rock You" on YouTube. I really like it a lot. But then, I've been criticized on more than one occasion about my taste in music.

Currently, I am listening to N'Sync "I Want You Back" and I'm loving it. Not going to apologize for it either. Justin Timberlake rocks.

I've continued with my quest of finding the perfect Sativa, and it keeps bringing me back to the same thing. Super Mario. I love it, it's economical and it gets me really buzzed.

I'm spending my days off from the trenches of the call centre that I work at immersed in solid tunes and good weed. My brain is thanking me.

I questioned my dispensary staff person when she checked my I.D. the other day.

"Will you be closing after the Government opens it's doors?" I said.

And she responded "Every day we are here we are illegal and face huge fines if they choose to charge us....we can't afford to keep the location open if we're only selling pipes."

Kinda sad really. The government is putting some really cool peeps out of work. But they will prevail. Hopefully they all fall into cushy government jobs - selling weed.

Not My Type.

I am attracted to masculine men. 

It's an infliction I've had since puberty. 

I've learned to deal with it though, through various activities and exercises. 

I was told recently that I am called "straight gay". My source was an eighteen year old girl, and I'm assuming that she knows what she is talking about. She was knowledgeable enough to ask me if I was a top or a bottom. I was kind of shocked by the question actually, but I answered it. 

Not sure how comfortable I am with the "straight gay" label. After all, there's zero wrong with being gay. Giving it that label sounds like you're trying to validate one or the other. I don't think anyone should have to validate their existence. We all  have the right to be.

I'm finding that, the greater quantity that I smoke, the more prolific I become. Or so I think.

Currently, I am smoking Super Mario. I can't get away from it because I love the buzz that it induces.. perfect and mellow. Just how I like my evenings.

Treats For Me.

I ate a cookie.

It was delicious. It was a melty kind of cookie. It was ginger and sweeter than a pixie stick. And potent.

My day was spent in front of a computer earning cash to pay for the roof over my head and the smoke in my smoke box. There weren't too many exciting moments, but I am quickly learning that a lot of people are bereft of real meaning of the word "emergency".

In an attempt to be a healthy pothead, I am walking too and from work, which amounts to about an hour of walking per day. This is bringing me way beyond my goal of ninety minutes per week, but that's OK. I went to the doctor the other day and discovered that I am forty pounds lighter than I had originally thought. Yippee for me.

I'm not seriously devoted to anything these days except for my daily puff  and work. I figure if it's something that I have to do, I might as well teach myself to like it rather than spend my days in misery trying to find reasons why not to go.

Besides, if I do well at work, I can better afford to do the things that I would really like to do, like start planning a business model for Remedy Radio as a viable, money making Internet radio station.

You know what they say; if you're going to dream, dream big.

Confused

I'm giving dope the benefit of the doubt.

I went out to my day job today and found it to be tedious at best. I wasn't amused or impressed by anything and I came home with a chip on my shoulder. That sucks.

But then, I realized that I had a bunch of Super Mario on my desk, and I damn near cried. It's a beautiful thing. Now, after indulging, the whole world looks different.

Medical or not, I am convinced that marijuana helps me with my moods. When I'm down, it brings me up. When I'm up, it makes me feel high enough that I know when it's time to slow down. It's a beautiful thing.

Now, instead of moping about and doing nothing, I am putting my brain patterns to work blogging about my day. Certainly not a waste of time, as it cleanses me of all the crap that I had to endure over the last eight hours.

I was berated by a lottery ticket purchaser for trying to "up sell" lottery tickets to him. He felt that I should "talk to my supervisor" about it, suggesting that I had done something wrong. Being the type of person that I am, I immediately requested the presence of my supervisor so I could discuss the call with him and his sentiments were exactly the same as mine. The guy was an idiot.

This really didn't come to me as a total shock, yet, at the same time, it did. In a normal call centre environment, I probably would have been coached for that call for some stupid reason. But, instead, my boss actually agreed with me and walked away. I've got high hopes for my new place of employment.

No Drama

Stereotypes

😀❤❤





Life is just a game.

Who wins and loses is all up to interpretation.

One thing that I interpret is the value of music and its' ability to rest an unquiet mind. Hearing is a gift; one that I appreciate to the fullest every day.

Remedy Radio is about 420. People always ask me what that means. And I reply politely and say "it's about marijuana". To them, as nonsmokers, they don't understand there is an under toe of meaning. I understand that my life is about friendships, family and respect. I function well including marijuana in my life, and I consider myself a good person.

But there are still many people who are of the opinion that those who indulge are "potheads" or "hippies". To this I say poo poo. We have a stereotype to disprove, so let's do a great job of it. Have a blast, but be a responsible smoker.👄

I have no problem with public consumption of marijuana. In fact, I can't wait to find a coffee shop that will allow it. If that's even going to happen? I know being amidst all that pastry while sucking back on some Super Mario would be like a dream situation for me.💘
