All in a day's work

I never know what the day is going to hold when I head in to work.

On Tuesday I found myself flushing some marijuana down the toilet.

I don't remember reading that in my job description.

The other staff couldn't believe that I had never actually seen weed before. (Well, I did see it growing naturally in Kazakhstan but that's not really the same.) I held some in my hand and smelled it. The smell was familiar. I've smelled this smell on the residents before. I just thought they had some serious BO and needed showers.

There was a seed in the weed. Apparently the stuff is not very good if there are seeds in it. According to more experienced others (whose names I won't mention), the seeds will pop if you try to burn them.

I thought about taking the seed home to try to plant it in my garden... just to see if it would grow. But then I pictured getting pulled over on the way home and having to explain to the officer with the growling-drug-sniffing-dog why it is that I just happen to have a marijuana seed in my possession. So..... I flushed the seed and my hopes of adding a new exotic plant to my garden.

Definitely an educational experience.

(I was also shown how to roll a blunt. There were no appropriate papers available so the demonstrator had to use a post-it note.)
