A few weeks ago I was on a website that I have followed for years, Beekman1802. They sell home products, goat milk cheeses, skincare and alike. And now they just started selling CBD products (with goat milk of course). I have always been intrigued by the concept. And of course who doesn't like to try new creams. So I bought some facial cream and soap (with goat milk of course) and loved it. I have been using if for almost a week and I can see and feel a difference. Now maybe thats just in my head. I have always been one who can easily be influenced by just a complement. I was once told I could sing like Elvis (thanks mom) so I bought a sequined cape. Thank God I'm gay so it hasn't gone to waste. 

My point is I'm not really a big pot user.

The last time I smoked a doobie ... well the fact that I said doobie should give you an idea, I wasn't a fan. It made me hungry(er) and stupid(er) and I don't need help in those areas. But I've always been one for pomp, circumstance and the anticipation of whats to come. 
Back in the 80's I was more into the cutting the blow into lines then actually snorting them. 

So walking into my first cannabis store today (reminiscent of an Apple Store) was sensory overload. Clean lines everywhere. Spotless maple floors. Tall ceilings. Perfect lighting. A quite sense of self came over me. Kind of like the feeling I get when I go to a bookstore. 

I was ushered over to my personal "bud tender" (love that title) who welcomed me with a huge smile. Well at least his eyes smiled from over his mask. He introduced himself as Todd and asked what I was looking for. I told him I was a virgin in the whole New Cannabis World and I really only wanted to get an oil or cream with CBD for my elbow. He walked me over to a beautiful wall covered with shelves with carefully placed jars and bottles of all sizes. But only one of each (just like Apple). They had the real stuff behind a wall with a little pass through cut out. Kind of like what I feel Fort Knox would look like if Fort Know dispensed cannabis. He pulled a jar down from the beautifully lit shelf and said this is what he would recommend for boney areas. 

Can I just stop here and say I have been referred to as a lot of body types but boney was never been one of them. I love Todd. 

He then took down another jar and said this this one was good for blah blah blah once a day blah blah blah. To be honest I didn't hear, boney was still ringing sweetly in my ears. 

Once I could focus on his words again it was like speaking to a sommelier. Oils for this. Creams for that. If you use the one that contains THC you might feel this way. I'll save the THC for another time.

All very scientific and thoughtful.

Anyway ... this is what I ended up with (pictured above). I'll be darned if it didn't work ... it totally did ! 

Rock on dude !
