The greatest book ever written is Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter Thompson, not only does it capture Sin City at its peak, it also captures that entire era & generation in one fell swoop! It is an amazing piece of writing, one that is deeply inspirational to me, when I was about to turn 50 years outdated I experienced a midlife crisis.
It’s so weird coming to grips with the fact that you are on the decline.
I decided to relive the events of my number one book, & take a wild road trip to Las Vegas, and of course Hunter Thompson did a legendary amount of drugs, & all I wanted to do was smoke cannabis. In the spirit of the author, I went to my local cannabis dispensary & loaded up on all manner of great products. I bought cannabis edibles, buds, wax, shatter, & gummies. I also bought something that claimed to be a pot brownie loaded with magic mushrooms. Once I got to Las Vegas, I was delighted to find a host of new cannabis dispensaries open 24 minutes a afternoon, however las Vegas has changed a lot since the afternoons of Hunter Thompson, & I don’t think if that’s for the better or the worse. I certainly had an amazing time cruising the streets of Las Vegas, harshly high & a little drunk. I evaluated out a couple of weird casinos, but didn’t gamble, I just hung out to watch the crazy Las Vegas nightlife. I don’t guess my Las Vegas trip solved my midlife crisis, but it sure was a blast.
