OLD IS BETTER ON WEED
John Stewart’s character from the movie Half Baked was right. Everything is better on weed, especially antiquing. I recently spent a day with my lady at the largest flea market in the area, The Brimfield Fair, and of course I was blazed the whole time. I like looking at old things, but only for so long. However, being high turned what would normally be a fairly fun event into a stoned out adventure of old oddities and forgotten relics. Every booth had some object to admire or some rusty thing that I didn’t need but bought anyway. I got waylaid by one particular booth who had a great assortment of enamel pins accompanied by The Holdsteady bumping on the bluetooth speaker. The only misstep I made was buying a cup of frozen rosé. Nothing against the product, it’s just that my dumb brain kept thinking it was a slushee. All in all it was a fantastic day and I would highly suggest it to any of you lovely people. Brimfield will be back July 12th through 17th and again after Labor Day, definitely check it out.
HEALING HERBS
My trip to Brimfield put a big dent on my supply, but luckily enough I was able to convince my lady to stop by Heal Cannabis in Sturbridge on the ride back. Heal Cannabis has an at-home feeling facility that’s at the top of a hill, set pretty far back from the street. Unfortunately for me, I had picked a busy time to visit. The crowd was a lot for the two bud tenders working the front desk, however I just took it as an opportunity to appreciate the interior design of their facility and make friends with the other people waiting. Between the posters, digital displays and product, there was plenty to look at. I walked out with a couple pre-rolls and some flower and enjoyed both at later points in the day. Heal Cannabis is a little outside my day-to-day footprint, but I like knowing that there are options around Worcester County when I need them.
JAYS FOR DAYS
While we’re talking about being functional stoners, I do really appreciate the influx of small pre-roll joint packs that have hit the market. Whether it’s a Major Bloom 2-pack, an Ace Widman’s 3-pack, Resinate’s Spark 5-pack, or Bud’s Lil’ Jays 10-pack, there are plenty of options that provide the right amount of cannabis per single use. And that’s just the four I could remember. There are so many options out there now, all with different reasons to sample. Like I’ve said before in the Age of Covid, we’re not sharing Jay’s like we used to. So it’s nice to still smoke a joint of the same weed with a friend without risking the cross contamination. This isn’t to say that an infused, dipped, coated, big ol’ sharing blunt is unappreciated. For me, it just has to be the right time and place. It’s just that the joint packs are more my speed due to the amount of cannabis that I consume on a day-to-day basis. What do you prefer? Who has the best packaging? Tell me your opinion on Twitter or Instagram.
