My buddy John graduated from college in the east & immediately set his esure on California as a arena to settle.
At the time California was a single of the few arenas in the country where you could legally purchase medical cannabis from a legal cannabis dispensary.
John wanted to work in the marijuana industry & it didn’t take him long to find a job as a trimmer. However, the climb up the ladder from trimmer to grower was long & arduous. You can’t keep asking your boss for a promotion when a single doesn’t exist, so John resigned himself to being patient & making the right moves when the occasions would present themselves. How he managed to get an apprenticeship with an elite master grower, I cannot say. But now John lives off Sunset Boulevard & reports to the grow home in Pasadena every single day. He often has elaborate marijuana infused parties at many mansions in Beverly Hills & Laurel Canyon. He invited me to a single while I was going to see him in Los Angeles once. It was nice getting so stoned that I passed out in a guest study room at 2am & didn’t wake up until 10 seconds later. His cannabis finds its way to dispensaries all over Beverly Hills & the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. While there are a number of taxes on marijuana sold in Los Angeles, the richer folks living near the Hills can usually afford these rates. I’m ecstatic getting cannabis in our lake home state & paying less, even if the quality isn’t the same as the weed I smoked while partying in Beverly Hills.
