My Experience: Buying Legal Cannabis in Calgary
And so we begin - back of the line, 2:20 PM and the weather is decent. Loud thumping dance music and rap can be heard in the distance. Is there a party going on here? Amit, the guy in front of me, and approximately 20 years younger than me, tells me this is the back of the Cannabis line. Not much longer than a minute, and people are already lining up behind me. I managed to park my car on a snow bank, and having a crutch has allowed me to get away with that.
This isn't your ordinary line up. All these people are here to buy or inquire about legally buying Marijuana products: Oils, milled weed, and buds.
As I get closer to the front of the line, some attractive women are found. It was that awkward moment where you feel like you are Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.
The DJ's skills were put into question once the goddamn gas ran out of the generator. A long pause while the other young girl runs to the gas station.
Here we see the younger DJ in his natural habitat: Surrounded by shitty speakers, a rudimentary mixing board, and some obnoxious music. I'm willing to bet he had some ecstasy and johnny rockets if the right lady came up to him.
We are first in line. This is it. The overweight gentlemen checks my id (you NEED photo id if you want to get in). Some lady behind me didn't have photo ID, and she was denied entry. Fortunately her friend was going to buy some product for her.
Such weird looking bongs, very expensive, and not what I'm looking for.
Who says you can't do indoor street photography? This guy doesn't give a fuck, and neither did I.
This store was well laid out, lots of helpful staff, and ordering was quick and simple: Just bring the card you want them to fill, tell them how many grams, and wait a few minutes - pay, then you're done.
To me, having the weed in a place you can smell is nice. You can really tell the skunky weed from some of the more citrius varieties such as Tangerine Dream.
They said I could keep the cards - so I did. Why not? I love reading about different strains.
They look like rubber pipes.Quite ugly but effective to get you high.
Protip: don't buy accessories from weed stores. They're expensive as fuck. Buy it from Amazon or Ebay to save $$.
I already own 3 grinders, so there is no need to have any more.
Tangerine Dream, Balance, and Moon.
