My first legal cannabis purchase, MA
Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2018 5:01 pmWow. I have been pro-cannabis legalization most of my life but having it legalized for recreational purchase isn't what I'd hoped it would be. I guess its in its infancy with only five shops open, but more coming here in Massachusetts. I'm in my forties now, by the way. I don't know, seems a hollow victory. Its branded and has stupid names that look like they come from rap albums titles. It was sad too. They must've checked my drivers license seven times even? It wasn't a terrible experience at all and this time it only took two hours to get in the store. I had made an attempt to buy before and failed, too long a wait. It was a sad core of low end workers and $15/hr laborers barely scraping by, thankfully there is state healthcare here. The low end middle class are beat here...a lot of motortrend television, bitchin rides watching impoverished peoples buying weed. There were some upper class people, but it was predominantly the low to middle class there. The weather was a cloudy but not terrible day out and I had to wait outside for awhile. Wareham, MA is pretty and the dispensary is on the water, there were ducks about even. December cold though. You know, thought I'd see the hippie movement type people, there were a few Gerry Garcia t-shirts. Not really a movement, just a new product. Used to love weed. It's ok. I'll tell you, I bought strong stuff, I got strong stuff. I was very stoned for a while. It was good, but just makes me wonder why I do it now. It's become less fun I guess. Jeesh. I am pretty all in on hemp - cannabis legalization because I think keeping it criminal is wrong, its a plant. I also think it has huge potential for industrial farming. Great...now its a product as well. I liked it underground better I guess. You felt more rebellious. Now it's like buying bacon, except you have to pay cash. I overheard the money goes to a Rhode Island bank (*cough* mafia). I mean if anyone can launder drug money. I placed a lot on this day. There might be cafes in the future. I kind of rushed going out to get weed. Prices were ok. I got strong stuff. Real clean! Real clean. One of the stronger but also cleanest weed I've ever smoked. I didn't get myself too stoned though. I got a lot of strong / good clean weed for about $40. It stunk so nicely like 'product' in there it was kind of nice. Never have I smelt so much pot. Tough times in America. People look sad and dejected here, because they are. It's tough trying to get by these days around here. Trump's america is pretty shitty right now. Despite the fact that I'm completely anti-war, I wouldn't have pulled out of Syria. I think that's a bow to Putin. Anyhow, culture here sucks. The rich people there looked and were very out of place. Us po' folk...we were kindly to all including the police. I guess they're getting paid. We all discussed weed of course and attempts to purchase it so far. The shop in Wareham was very reasonably busy but absolutely not swamped. It was doing a fair amount of business and it looks like southern MA has a viable pot shop that won't have a devastating wait time. With more shops opening in future, I'm wondering as demand getting filtered down from additional shops that there isn't that huge a market even for recreational use. Odd experience, but people were quite nice and jovial. Well behaved at the least. Very well behaved and respectful. It's no victory for us artsy, rock n' roll, leftist (I'm pretty much anarchist), recycle, save the earth mother, bio-diesel cars, vw, acoustic guitar crowd not even the yoga vinyasa type either. It was the shitty black hoodie with some stupid biker show motif on it. Some people were elderly too, with walkers or canes. A beat down people. It's expensive to live around here. It was depressing, every time I step out my door all I see is the decay of the world. A raw victory. Yay! Pot is legal. The world is still shitty.
