Veterans Lost In Translation

A few months ago I received my WA state medical cannabis card. I had no idea how easy it was to get one as a veteran. Thanks to my show co-host The Cannabis Cowboy out of Denver within a week I was a card-carrying member.

Registered with the Department Of Health database now as a medical cannabis user as a result. There are many benefits to owning one. Like buying more product than a “Frequent Shopper” does in one dispensary visit.

Oh, and the ability to grow your own plants also is a pretty huge benefit. You would think now being a card-carrying member it should translate across state lines, right? Not so fast.

A Dark Winter Vacation

During my recent family trip to Orlando, I discovered during research that Florida is also a medical cannabis authorized state. Rolling up to Harvest Of Kissimmee last week in a Uber is when the pot finally hit the fan.
