I have a medical card now (I didn’t when the cops were accidentally called) and the dispensary told me it’s still illegal for me to make edibles at home with product I got legally. I’m just happy I don’t have to drive 4 hours to get stuff anymore

A few weeks ago I accidentally told a cop that I make edibles. I didn’t know she was a cop but thankfully I don’t think they give a shit enough to make a fuss.

Seriously. I recently looked into being a paramedic and they don’t get paid anything. They are arguably more important than the nursing staff because they have to stabilize the patient to make sure they even get to the hospital alive. I selfishly decided that minimum wage isn’t enough pay for the mental trauma I’ll carry.

I’ve been in an ambulance a few times and the EMTs are incredible. 2 years ago, my EMT guy made me feel so much better about the interactions I had with the cops. They were being assholes to me and I hadn’t done anything wrong or committed a crime. They were called for a mental health crisis. He was a bright spot in a very very bad day. I enjoyed listening to him and the ambulance driver make fun of the officer and not treat me like a crazy person.
