I am not good with plants. I can’t keep them alive to save my life. The other day I threw away the plant that I had over the summer. It finally died on me. As my son was throwing taking the trash to the curb I threw it in. Here is how the convo went and how I found out that my son knows a lot about the cannabis industry.
My son knows a lot about the cannabis industry
Me: Any last words for the plant
Son: Yes is this a marijuana plant because I have heard that the cannabis industry is where the money is at these days and I’ve been thinking about what I wanted to do when I grow up
Me: WTF…..what do you know about the cannabis industry
Son: Well weed cures everything and it’s a billion dollar industry. Did you know that marijuana is legal in a lot of states?
Me: So now we need to have a conversation about weed…
Son: I mean I’m not smoking it if that’s what you are asking but I want to make money with it…legally
Me: So your aspirations is to be a drug dealer
Son: Legally in a way where I don’t go to jail
Me: I see….so what is it that you want to do
Son: Own a pharmaceutical company that sells top-grade cannabis for those who have ailments maybe I can find the cure for cancer with weed
Me: Hmmmmm I mean well….(I don’t know what to say)
Son: Don’t worry mom I will cut you in on the deal so we can both make millions
Me: Thanks I think……

The jobs in the cannabis industry do seem to be growing
This is a great blog post on being just a blogger. I think so many people have lost the true meaning of just blogging
Not everyone can leave or evacuate when a storm is coming. Have a heart for those who can’t
I love Samoas…this right here is what I will make for my Halloween treat
I can be lazy sometimes hopefully these tips will help overcome that
I love decorating for the fall but I don’t love the weather that comes with it. Give me heat any day
I need some headphones for myself and I think these may be it because I’m tired of borrowing from my kids
I use to think my kids were always catching colds until we went to the Dr….nope it was allergies. Know the difference!

October 3, 2018 at 12:15 pmI mean, yes, it’s true, cannabis helps lots of people! I’m not sure if I’d want to get in business with it though. I’d just be wary. My son is in high school and he hears other kids talk about smoking it often.

October 3, 2018 at 12:26 pmIt is medically shown that cannabis can help so many people. It is still a drug and there are many problems that coming from using cannabis. tough conversation but one that is very necessary.

October 3, 2018 at 1:52 pmYour son cracks me up! At least he is an entrepreneur and he’s trying to find a way to earn money in a legal way to help others. I mean that is pretty cool on it’s own!

October 3, 2018 at 2:22 pmThanks for sharing these links! I can’t wait to check some of them out. I love the open dialogue between you and your son. “You aspirations is to be a drug dealer” **I screamed, LOL ** By the time he gets older, dispensaries will be a norm.

October 3, 2018 at 5:13 pmWell, at least he wants to include you! Lol, hes a riot! My son knows a lot about it too. It’s all over the high schools and although I think its annoying and gross personally, its about to be legal here in Canada.

October 3, 2018 at 8:25 pmI could not agree more!! BLOGGING HAS CHANGED SOOO MUCH OVER THE YEARS! People just think it’s a quick way to make money but that’s 1000% not the case, especially if you start blogging solely with that idea in your mind! I blog because I LOVEEEEE talking, entertaining and connecting with others! It’s great that it’s now my full time job, but I don’t look as it that way, EVER!

October 4, 2018 at 1:35 amTo be quite honest, I think cannabis could cure the opioid epidemic. Its natural and used appropriately it could help a lot of people. Its been used to calm seizures and used to help with arthritis. I’m for its legal consumption, although I probably wouldn’t smoke it. I’d consume it in another means, like a vitamin or supplement.

October 4, 2018 at 2:05 amWow! That story about your son/the cannabis story is kind of hilarious!! I love it. And I love these links! I need those Samoa treats to get in my belly NOW!

October 4, 2018 at 3:29 amIts good to read about this. This is a good source of natural medication. Usage of this should be also moderately done. Taking note of the consumption is a must too.

October 4, 2018 at 6:05 amI love that his brain works this way! He sees where the legalization trend is going, wants to use it to help people and wants his piece of the pie! Smart kiddo!

October 4, 2018 at 12:23 pmHe broke it down for you. That young man has a plan!
Demetra
October 4, 2018 at 12:57 pmWow, he sounds like a bright young man. I’m confident he will always be financially secure with that kind of entrepreneurial spirit.

October 4, 2018 at 3:27 pmThese young men nowadays know much more than us. I know only that for some people cannabis could help them with their pain, but I don’t know anything more…

October 4, 2018 at 8:41 pmHilarious as always Kita! And that link to Paul Jarvis’ post was golden. Just golden. Thanks for that.

October 4, 2018 at 10:56 pmYour son is funny! He’s right! you can make so much money in the cannabis industry these days if you’re in the right state.At least he doesn’t want to leave you high and dry; he’s gonna give you a cut.
Mimi Green
October 4, 2018 at 11:36 pmI am cracking up laughing at your son. At least he knows what he wants, it is a booming industry though and he is on the right side of the law.

October 5, 2018 at 7:38 amMy mother has MS and cannabis oil really helps her when she has excruciatingly painful episodes. It’s remarkable that young people are already learning about this plant for alternative medical treatment!

October 5, 2018 at 8:13 amTo each is own understanding the benefits and side effects is important. There is something that intrigues us all.
Stacie
October 5, 2018 at 3:05 pmWow, he really is educated in the matter lol! At least he asp[ires to do it the right way. Plus, he told you about it. He could have just kept quiet.

October 6, 2018 at 9:33 pmNow THIS is a conversation I don’t think I expected. It’s amazing how much our Kids can know – I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve asked my Kiddies “”Where exactly did you find this out?” LOL
Kiwi
October 7, 2018 at 5:48 pmWow these kids are learning about things earlier and earlier. Tell him cannibis and weed is NOT legal in GA yet but I do like his early hustle mentality he wants in on the business!

October 8, 2018 at 6:19 amSmart kid you have there! Yes, cannibal does help with ailments. And while it’s legal in many states, we can’t ignore that it’s still still not legal on the federal level.

October 12, 2018 at 11:42 amDon’t stop his hustle mama! He’s gonna cut you in on his millions… legally! Lol

October 16, 2018 at 4:29 amI could be extremely liberal because I’m from California, but I think he’s smart. Legalized cannabis is the way of the future and I think if he already has it in mind to do things legally then he’s already on the right track!
