I admit that I smoked marijuana before recreational use became legal in Michigan.
I suffer from anxiety and have found that smoking helps to ease the symptoms.
However, before I had access to the dispensary, the quality of cannabis was often lacking. There was no way to be sure of potency. I didn’t have the luxury of picking from sativas, indicas and hybrids. Fortunately, adult-use cannabis was finally legalized in 2018. It is such a relief and pleasure to browse lab-tested products at the dispensary. Because of this, I’ve been able to be quite particular about the quality of flower I smoke. I shop at a dispensary in Muskegon that carries approximately three dozen different strains. I have my choice of sun-grown and greenhouse grown bud from some of the most recognized and popular producers. I am so impressed with the density and texture of the weed. The colors are wonderfully complex. I can tell that the bud was maturely harvested because of the abundance of trichomes. Plus, the pistils are a bright orange, and the smell of the weed is especially pungent. I just love cannabinoid-rich dried flower with a depth of terpenes. I consult with the budtenders and am always open to trying new options. The dispensary also sells all of the accessories I need, such as grinders, rolling trays and rolling papers. Because of the integrity of the cannabis, I enjoy a smooth and consistent burn. The process of rolling the joint as well as smoking works to alleviate my anxiety. If I don’t have the time to spend, I can always buy a few pre-rolls for convenience.
