For more than six months per year, the temperature in Denver, Colorado, drops below freezing.
I am not a fan of either the snow or the cold.
I don’t like the need to bundle up in heavy boots, wool coat, sweaters, gloves and hat just to step outside. I don’t enjoy spending hours shoveling the driveway, brushing snow off the car or scraping ice from the windshield. I am reluctant to drive when the roads are icy or snowy. Because I work from home, I don’t need to worry about a daily commute. I can check the forecast and avoid making any trips if the weather calls for snow flurries, freezing rain, blizzard conditions, white-outs or anything that makes me uneasy. Fortunately, most everything I need can be delivered right to my door. I can go online and order groceries, toiletries, home furnishings, clothes, shoes and books. Although I can access an online doctor to get a prescription for various medical ailments, I need to drive to the pharmacy to pick up my medicine. That can be a problem for me. It’s far easier, safer and less stressful to choose a natural remedy from the cannabis dispensary. I can shop on their website any hour of the day or night. The site allows me to narrow my search by category, price, weight, potency, brand and more. I have access to smokable flower, pre-rolled joints, all sorts of edibles, tinctures, topicals, vapes, extracts, concentrates and gear. Each product listing includes a photograph and information about cannabinoid percentages and dosage recommendations. A few clicks adds my chosen products to my cart. The dispensary has all of my information saved in my account, making checkout very quick. As a member of the dispensary’s loyalty program, I earn points on every transaction that I can use for future savings. I then opt for delivery.
