Remember, while consuming cannabis is legal, it’s illegal and unwise to drive while under the influence, so ideally you’ll be getting to your destination by transit, on foot, or with a designated driver.
So pass the dutchie on the left-hand side, and don’t forget the eye drops or the shades. And don’t forget to keep your roaches or dispose of them properly.
