Cannabis
Should You Believe Everything You Read Online ?
to smoke a joint ?” If there are , what on Earth are they teaching these kids in high school today ? Of course , I ’ m joking ; you should never ever try marijuana when you ’ re in high school ; you should wait until you are in college ( age 21 ). If you really are a full-grown adult who doesn ’ t know how to smoke a joint , just do what I do when I am at a fancy dinner party . If I don ’ t know which fork or spoon I am supposed to use for salad or soup , I just look around the table to see which one everybody else is using .
When I say , “ Beware of false prophets wearing sheep ’ s clothing ,” I am , of course , exaggerating . There are a lot of people who are new to cannabis or tried it decades ago — warning , this is not the marijuana that people were smoking in the 1980s . This new marijuana reality is also totally new to them . As an old Mountain Man ( hippie ), I feel it is my duty to make sure all the new people have a safe trip to California . If someone gets bad advice and has an unpleasant or unsatisfactory first experience , it may cause them to never try marijuana again . That would be a shame because it might actually be something that they would enjoy and find beneficial for health-related purposes .
If you have done a lot of research and still have questions or need help , go to your local budtender or the friendly folks at your nearby indoor garden store . These people are trained professionals who will be glad to help . You are also welcome to contact me . Apparently , I am an expert . That would be cool !
Well , my article is two times longer than it should be , but I have a lot on my mind , and us old Mountain Men don ’ t get out much . Most months , our readers are the only pioneers I talk to .
To wrap things up , there are a lot of ways to get to California and even more ways to home-grow marijuana and make edibles . I will never tell you that I have the best or the only way , but I can share my methods with you that have worked for me for many years . Just look at my picture ; I ’ m old , so I must know what I ’ m talking about . However , I ’ ve been drinking a lot of coffee while writing this article , so I need to go find a milk jug and make some plant food . I just found out what we ’ re having for dinner tonight , and it includes Mars-style potatoes again . It ’ s a good thing I know the number for Domino ’ s .
Happy New Year to all . See you next month .
