If you’ve read any of my previous posts you probably know how I feel about “legalization” and government approved cannabis. I very strongly advocate for #growyourown or #knowyourfarmer as the safest way to source your cannabis, and do not trust government labs and regulators to provide me with safe, quality cannabis.
Now I follow my own advice, and have for many years, so I don’t as a rule, buy weed. Although cannabis is becoming less illegal in some areas (and only within certain regulatory frameworks, even in those “legal” areas), you’re still far from being able to source your own in a way that you feel good about and travel freely with it.
I’m currently traveling in Mexico and finally decided to buy some weed. It took 10 days to actually get my hands on it and give it a try. What a waste of money. I didn’t expect it to look good (it didn’t), I didn’t expect it to taste good (it didn’t), but I had hoped I could smoke it and get stoned and relax. Wrong. I got a little stoned, but what I really got was the worst headache I’ve had in years. It lasted for over 12 hours. Now I have a bag of weed that I’m afraid to smoke. I guess it’s time to quit smoking again for a while.
One positive thing is the weed was full of seeds. I’ve got a bunch in a damp paper towel. It’s going to be a long wait.
