kengrAs of Midnight, recreational pot use is legal. *Getting* it is the tricky part.
Untiil y=the OLCC works out rules (many months down the road) there's no place to *buy* it.
So the only legal way to get it is to have someone giove it to you or to grow it yourself.
To celebrate legalization and mke a gesture at solving the "how to get it" Problem NORML was giving away pot at midnight. Supposedly. pot & seeds.
Silly me, I figured that if I left home at 10:30, I'd be ok.
I got to the Burnside bridge at 11. The giveaway was at the west end. When I realized I was riding past a *line*, I had to backtrack until I was three-quarters of the way to the *east* end.
There was a long, long wait. Eventually around onethings started moving faster. Which turned out to be because they were out of pot.
A guy with a bullhorn was saying to go to a medical marijuana dispensary near the Hawthorne bridge and they'd have pot to give out. He said "right now".
Well, there wasn't anybody there. Finally, at 10 to 2, someone arrived and said they'd be giving free pot to folks with medical marijuana cards.
I gave up and left. In part because I'd mostly been interested in the seeds.
So I headed home. I swung by Voodoo donuts, as it being after midnight I had money in my account and could spend some on a luxury. :-)
When I got home I texted Fay and she got her pick of the donuts as a birthday present. She picked a bacon maple bar.
That left another for me, plus two apple fritters and a mango tango (I'd been worrtied she'd want that, I'd wanted to get two but they only had one)
I shall be crashing soon. The ride, combine with all the standing in line has tired me out.

Date: 2015-07-01 02:46 pm (UTC)I slept in this morning and skipped breakfast, so I'm reading this on a very empty stomach. And you had to talk about doughnuts! :-)
I remember my Mother taking leftover plain glazed doughnuts the next day and frying them in butter for breakfast. The butter and sugar would caramelize into this wonderful, crunchy crust...
Great; now I'm making *myself* hungry.

And I couldn't eat any last night because It'd have messed up the times for my blood glucose readings.
