Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

The end of the school year is a bittersweet time. Summer vacation is almost attainable - all that stands in the way are final exams. It is a time of excitement, of hard work, and, unfortunately, of saying a temporary farewell to old friends. We at Medicine Gone Green take no pleasure in parting from you, but rest assured, it’s not you, it’s us. We will always remember the good times.

Like that sunny day in the park, when you wore your white dress, and we discussed government hypocrisy regarding medical marijuana. Or the late nights, staring up at the moon, contemplating marijuana’s medical uses. Of course, who could forget your birthday, when we all went bowling? You spilled beer on the lane and we spoke of barriers to marijuana’s legalization. Ah, the good times. I recall with vivid memory the day you came to our door crying, mascara running down your cheeks, and you were comforted by our stories of marijuana’s ability to treat the symptoms that come along with chemotherapy. Sure, there were dark times, too, like when we argued over cannabinoids. But we settled that argument with a grown-up discussion of medical marijuana’s major drawback. Oh, to be young again.

And while we at Medicine Gone Green look back fondly at our time together, we also realize that this is not the end. Nay, this is merely the beginning of something very special. You see, medical marijuana is constantly mentioned in the news and spoken of by politicians and legislators alike. The push for the legalization of medical marijuana does not end here, old friend. We will always think of you when we hear of a new state legalizing medical marijuana, when the warm breeze of August brings word of DEA raids of medical marijuana clinics, and when new medical research brings to light previously unknown uses for medical marijuana. We, too, hope that you stay up-to-date on the issue and look back at our time together with a smile, for our time here has been one of growth and learning, for both of us.

Thanks for the memories…
