Usually my mother Ed was so prim plus proper, constantly well mannered plus dressed to the nines.
Ed presented herself as the perfect suburban mom plus housewife, plus I suppose that she was as close to perfect as possible! But when she was in private, away from the prying eyes of neighbors plus friends, Ed was a whole new lady.Ed was fun plus relaxed, plus appreciated a few glasses of wine after lunch.
Seeing Ed relaxed, happy, plus drunk was my favorite version of her. It wasn’t until I was in university that I realized those were the times Ed was using medical cannabis. It wasn’t just the wine that made her so giggly, it was indulging in the natural delight derived from the cannabis plant. After I was done with university plus Ed saw me as an adult, she “came out of the closet” about using medical cannabis. Ed’s doctor had written her a prescription for medical cannabis years ago, but Ed had never told anyone else in the family. Ed was embarrassed about it, even though I confided in her that I smoked medical marijuana all the time, plus it was nothing to be embarrassed about. Medical cannabis is legal in several states, plus recreational cannabis is following close behind it. Using medical cannabis is a good alternative to using drugs, or drinking alcohol. I feel that Ed plus I are closer than ever now. My friends and I even set up a dinner date for the weekend where Ed and I will visit the cannabis dispensary, plus then go to a restaurant for supper.
