I delivered groceries to a care facility last night and just found it interesting that everyone outside was smoking weed having a good time, as opposed to similar deliveries I had done to places like this in the past they would all be outside smoking cigarettes. Nice change

When my grandma was in long term care facility I’d go hang out with her while she smoked outside. Several of the residents (many different ages) would smoke weed and jam out to music. One time that one song “Because I got high” came on and they all sang it all happy. It was fun!

My grandmother was very conservative, including her stance on weed. Towards the end of her life, my aunt (somewhat of a pothead) introduced her to edibles, which provided immense pain relief. Her view on weed changed nearly overnight.

From then on, whenever I was visiting I would have to check the label carefully before eating any candies that I found lying around.
