It may have been the morning in Jamaica, but I had been up for a long time traveling from Las Vegas. I stopped right outside the door for my first Jamaican purchase, a Red Stripe beer. The cold drink was unbelievably refreshing in the hot and humid weather. With that settled, I watched the crowds and handled some work calls outside waiting for the rest of the Fat Nugs crew to arrive.

I had just finished smoking half a joint of some delicious sun-grown Purple Kush, sold to me from the on-site dispensary at the resort. I find myself able to focus on my breath much easier than I have in past yoga classes. Everything she says as I close my eyes and go with the flow resonates with me deeply. Colors come into view. I can picture my root chakra lighting up red in the pelvic area, which represents grounding. Ground into the earth. I hear the words “find your roots…you are exactly what you need”, whispered in my ear, along with a huge wave crashing down, as if the ocean is speaking to me. Then came the tears. Something I have known all along but needed to hear, It’s as though my body and mind are connecting to deliver this powerful message. It is such a beautiful release and so freeing.

The choose-your-own-adventure vibes were real as the group explored the property and lounged in the pool all week. There were quite a few mushroom varieties available and many ways to consume including capsules, tea, delicious smoothies, and (my preferred form) dried and natural. It’s not that I “enjoy” the taste of them, per se, but I appreciate what they’re bringing to the table, so I like to have them unaltered. I also like to take little pieces throughout the day, weekend, or event to ramp up slower than eating a gram or two at once.

Close your eyes and imagine feeling the warm sand between your toes. The sounds of the ocean rumbling and crashing a few feet behind you. You take a deep slow inhale and exhale all of your worries into a cloud of smoke. The day-to-day grind fades into nothing more than a distant whisper. Before you know it your soul is twirling and dancing amongst the trees. You have made it home to Coral Cove Wellness Resort.

In Modern Britain, cannabis is at best tolerated and at worst yet *another* target for moral outrage. While high-strength THC flower – or ‘skunk’ – remains the illicit weed of choice for the British public, despite the UK being one of the world’s biggest producers of legal cannabis, Little Englanders of a certain age and status still clutch scornfully their pearls at a mere sniff of the ‘Evil Weed’.

But a new type of cannabis is being embraced across Britain – in the form of CBD. Yes, more open-minded, health conscious consumers are emerging here. But will a drive towards more mindful, intentional living pave the way for, and legitimise ‘therapeutic cannabis’?

Or are we Brits so hellbent on hedonistic indulgence that only super strong cannabis can compete with the copious amounts of alcohol we consume?
