It seems like nothing nice happens in life without an adverse event to balance it out. Find a $20 on the street, and the electric bill spikes for some reason; save up for a new truck, and then you end up helping everybody move; horrible female governor is gone, and her replacement is an equally horrible male governor…you get my drift.
Maybe I’m unlucky, in a funk or highly clearheaded, but everything in life seems to have a dualistic nature. These are some of my new problems — from the other side of the coin that gave us medical marijuana. It ain’t all rainshine and sunbows, people.
Too Much Time Spent Hunting Deals
The Happy Ogle has a deal hunter extraordinaire out here working hard to find you the cheapest stuff available, and you’ve been reaping the rewards! Unfortunately for me, ya’ll keep beating me to the punch: I go to get said deal only to find that they’re sold out. Early bird gets the weed, I guess. So I jump back on Weedmaps to search. And search…and search. I blink and it’s been an hour. I recently found a dispensary and strain that fit my budget and taste, but don’t look for it on this site; my lips are sealed.

No ‘Buying Crazy Shit Whilst High’ Budget
Random shit popping into my head…and then me diving head-first into a related rabbit hole is my modus operandi, but damn does it come with a hefty price tag! One minute I’m looking at the new Factory Obscura page…next thing I know, I’m trying to buy a giant bubble that Wayne allegedly owned. The Happy Ogle just doesn’t pay me enough to fulfill my wildest dreams in such a way — and probably for the best — or I would have all the OKC Blazers merch I could find.

Nowhere to Legally Medicate Outside of Home
I have a job that doesn’t allow our favorite new medication on site, and with random cops showing up, I have to get crafty with my stash spots. Seriously, some of us don’t have the convenience of just popping home for a quick hit to bring our anxiety and stress levels down. I feel like a heel sneaking hits like an 8th grader hiding out in a secluded spot hoping a cop doesn’t pull up. Can’t we get a patient café, with drinks and snacks and on-premises puffing at one of the endless dispensaries in town? You know this idea would take off and be an awesome experience for everyone.

Paranoia Wearing Paraphernalia
First thing I wanted to buy after some dankity dank was a kick ass marijuana-themed shirt or outfit. I wanted my threads to say “this guy has an OMMA card and two middle fingers…I’m legal pigs!” or something to the effect. I picked out my outfit, wore it in public and upon returning home put it in the deepest, darkest part of my closet. I felt like the shadiest person alive (a tight Ed Hardy t-shirt couldn’t have been worse). Like cops were watching me, ready to slap on the handcuffs at any moment — and I wasn’t even that high! Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like I’ll never be able to rock that sick weed bucket hat outside of Cannabis Cup.
