Edibles

Stress at work caused Dan to stop sleeping. Lack of sleep only added to his stress as he spiraled down. A Facebook friend he met online had a solution that worked for him. Dan’s friend lived in Colorado where marijuana was legal. He offered to make some edibles and send them to Dan. Dan was reluctant and did not want to get into trouble with the law. Dan finally gave in and accepted the offer when lack of sleep and appetite left him no other choice; it was try the edibles or lose his job and have even more stress and sleepless nights.

Two days later the package came in the mail. Dan ate one of the brownies for dinner and relaxed on the couch with Netflix playing a new original series on the TV. Soon, all of Dan’s worries started melting away. He felt tired and sleepy, but something else, too. He couldn’t hold his eyes open any longer. It was the best night of sleep Dan had in weeks.

The next morning he was groggy as he stirred. He knew he was different, but didn’t care; it felt good. He ate another brownie and noticed a note in the box of brownies from his friend in Colorado:

Enjoy the brownies. I made them myself with a new brand of marijuana sold out here by TG Incorporated. You will get a great night of sleep, Dan, or should I say Martha.
