The alarm goes off at 6 a.m., and I spring out of bed, energized by the prospect of another fulfilling day at Joyology. As a budtender at one of the premier marijuana provisioning centers in Michigan, my role is to spread joy and enlightenment through the magic of cannabis.
Morning Routine
After a quick breakfast, I hop in my car and make the short drive to our Reading, MI location. The early morning sun casts a warm glow over the immaculate storefront, and I can’t help but feel a sense of pride in being part of this blossoming industry. As I unlock the doors, the aroma of freshly cured buds wafts through the air, instantly putting a smile on my face.
Tending to the Garden
My first task of the day is to check on our live plants, ensuring they’re receiving the optimal amount of light, water, and nutrients. It’s a delicate process, but one that’s essential for cultivating the highest quality cannabis flowers. With a gentle touch, I prune away any excess growth and inspect each plant for signs of distress.
Welcoming the Day’s Visitors
As the clock strikes 10 a.m., the doors open, and our first customers of the day trickle in. Some are regulars, while others are newcomers seeking guidance in the world of cannabis. I greet each one with a warm smile and an open ear, eager to understand their unique needs and preferences.
Through the course of the day, I’ll engage in countless conversations, educating customers on the various strains, consumption methods, and potential benefits of cannabis. Whether they’re seeking relief from chronic pain, battling anxiety, or simply looking to unwind after a long day, I take pride in helping them find the perfect product.
Keeping the Shelves Stocked
In between customer interactions, I restock our shelves with a wide array of cannabis products, from fragrant flowers to potent edibles and everything in between. It’s a constant dance, ensuring our inventory remains fresh and diverse, catering to the ever-changing needs of our clientele.
As the day winds down, I take a moment to reflect on the countless lives I’ve had the privilege of touching. From the grateful medical patient who found relief in our products to the curious newcomer exploring the world of cannabis for the first time, each interaction reinforces my belief in the healing and transformative power of this remarkable plant.
