Made my first cannabis purchase today. I amused the associate helping me. Questions like, "Would you prefer edibles, flower, or vape?" Me: "I don't know. And I've never used a vape so no idea on that. I used to smoke cigarettes, so I'm OK with that."

I left with some edibles to help with sleep (THC/CBD/CBN mix), two prerolls (that I can put out after a puff or two and reuse), and a disposable vape (I'll need to google how to use that!). She focused on stuff to help anxiety. One she clicked on, she was like,, "oh, that terpene could make you paranoid." Me: "I certainly don't want that! And neither would my husband." She went with prerolls to start because she said if I got flower, then I'd have to figure out how I wanted to smoke it. So this is a good first step.

She asked if my H used cannabis, and I said he was like me, where it's been 20-some years. That I'd let him try my stuff. "Oh, that's so cute!" she said.

I got a 20% new customer discount and was there on "tax-free Tuesday," so also saved 9% with that. They said that if I find I like cannabis, I should apply for a medical card, as it's easy now and makes it all much cheaper.

I will be very careful with this...
