I never open emails from unknown / untrusted senders—especially those flagged "from a trusted sender." Yeah—like I don't know which senders I've designated as trusted (rolling of eyes heavenward). But, I saw one email in a preview pane whose subject line caught my attention: Allegedly, cannabis extract is now legal to purchase and ship in all fifty US states. I went online and tried to google more info, but, there was little help…plenty of people selling products, but being really coy about what you'd actually GET once you committed to the purchase.
I used to live in New York City—Brooklyn, actually—and I was a well-established customer of the then-infamous Dial-A-Dope operation located at First & First (this was in the early eighties of the twentieth century). Chester the Molester offered to sell me a sandwich baggie of hash oil for a ridiculously low price. I looked at him like he was out of his damned mind. "What kind of IDIOT put this in a sandwich baggie?" I asked (this was before ZipLocs). "No. Not interested."
That was then; this is now.
Between then and now I've experienced a lot of things…and, unfortunately, it involved a LOT of broken bones, about a hundred surgeries (not hyperbole), and dying "on the table" a few times. The movies are REALLY inaccurate about these situations: There's some guy in the hospital that has received trauma WAY more minor than what I experienced, AND THEY GIVE HIM MORPHINE. Dude: They don't give you morphine unless they think you're not going to make it.
Anyway, after I get out of hospital, they gave me a scrip for Oxy. I eat it up—as prescribed, not recreationally—and when it ran out, not having ANY interest in personal experience with opiate withdrawal symptoms, I spent the next month in nearly mortal agony from sunup to sundown, "aided" only by Tylenol and Advil.
I'm in pretty good shape, now, but every now and then my back gives me Hell (the LEAST serious injury in my recent pedestrian-motor vehicle accident was a spine broken in several places), and I could sure appreciate the right non-opioid medication, if you know what I mean.
But…now that cannabis extract is legal, I don't want to buy GARBAGE, get ripped off, you know? It would really piss me off if I paid forty dollars for PERFUME or a "health tonic" and not realize the traditional benefits of sativa / indica.
