The article reflects on the author’s contrasting experiences with cannabis, from a carefree first session in high school to a more informed last experience during the pandemic. The piece humorously recounts early cannabis culture, including the author’s first encounter with marijuana and the chaotic high that followed. It also highlights the evolution of the cannabis market, marked by professionalism and knowledge about product effects, and expresses gratitude for convenient pre-rolled joints, noting how far the industry has come from questionable discrete purchases.
My first time was with my lifelong pal, O., in the early '80s... We found it, we smoked it, then proceeded to eat all the candy in the house.
I appreciated the descriptions of the products' potential effects and how much of any particular compound they contained... a far cry from the chemical Russian roulette that casual users like myself had long endured.
Included in the review kit was a pre-rolled joint, which I immediately thought should take the mantle from sliced bread as one of innovation's greatest conveniences.
I went from bueno to 'bueNope' as I suddenly felt like I was inside a falling elevator-a simultaneous sensation of vertigo and claustrophobia.
