46 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY DECEMBER 14-20, 2023 www.montereycountyweekly.com CHILL Let’s say you’re on your way to an opera, a networking event or a holiday dinner with your in-laws. Wearing a crisp shirt, or an elegant dress, and being freshly showered and perfumed, you nonetheless require to get high—but it’s not exactly clear how to go about it. It’s not the access to cannabis that worries you; it’s the form that, under the above circumstances, might be acceptable. You can’t smoke a joint and start mingling with a respectable crowd—that’s obvious. Vaping might be a partial solution, but you are just not a smoker. Gummies, brownies and other edibles are a no-no because they can take forever to activate. There is also the fact that you’re not alone. You’re in a car with others, a family priest or your husband’s grandmother. What a pickle. Clearly, there are situations when you will be grateful for the invention of a THC pill. If you have one on you, you just say, sweetly, “Oh, my head. I’m afraid I have to take an aspirin before we get in.” And off you go to enter the merry gathering. Joint Venture in the Mid Valley Shopping Center is a cannabis store where you can buy two kinds of cannabis pills—easy-to-swallow gel tabs (that offer THC and, additionally, CBD), or a more traditional pill form with THC only, which will soothe your nerves and enhance (hopefully) your social skills.
