The Black Cannabis Blog    Smoking on Veteran’s Day So….What are you smoking today? Some days I just want to know because it is going to be hours before I get my 1st inhales in.  And I want that to be different.  I want that to be now!  But discipline. I could take a Delta8 and be mellow.  But not today.  The problem with being your own everything is sometimes?  Working inside of a peaceful state of existence could cost.  So you have to push it back until the adulting is done.  And that’s today.
