The NMA has been a medical marijuana patient for about two years now, and I'm not kidding when I say it has saved his life. Really, it gave me my son back in a way that none of the other prescribed pharmaceuticals could. Because Pennsylvania can't do anything without being, well, odd, in order to purchase his medicine, I had to become a caregiver as PA doesn't issue patient ID cards to people under 18, even though they're legal. Yeah, I know.
SO, when he turned 18, I celebrated because that meant he could get his own card and go to dispensaries. Yay! Even better, a dispensary opened up right here in Ardmore, walking distance to our house.
Even then, some days he's not up to getting to the dispensary, so I go. A few days ago I went on a big sale date which meant big socially distanced line. While waiting a young man came up and handed me a card for Free Will Collective. Oh, cool. Right up the street. Did not notice it, so good for you young entrepreneur.
After the dispensary I walked over - it's seriously 1/2 a block away. My first impression was how, for a small space, it's very spacious feeling and airy, very welcoming. They have some clothing on racks on one side, and long displays with different glass pipes and such on the other side. Exposed brick, wood. Really nice store and the glass is so pretty.
As they are super new, the young entrepreneur could not tell me if they had gift cards, he was there helping out the owner like good friends do, and while I knew my son needed some equipment, I didn't know exactly what. Never mind, I came home and told the NMA, who got super excited that there's a "glass shop" he can walk to.
Cool. read more
