Count yourself lucky that you are in driving distance of legal purchase ! There are literally oceans standing between me and that option . I recently moved away from my hometown , to the other side of the country , so I have no connections , and am working off the last scraps of a kief puck I made months ago . After that , I don ' t know what I ' ll do ! But last night , I smoked up , sat outside and looked up at the stars . It was so much clearer than back home , because there is almost no light pollution . It made me realise how much clearer my head is now , and how much happier I am than I have been for a long time . I could definitely class it as a ritual , this plant is amazing . An ounce a month is a lot though haha , happy to hear you ' ve cut back , even just for financial reasons !
