First Name: Sam
Hometown: Walpole, Massachusetts.
How long have you been in Colorado?: It will be 3 awesome years this New Years day.
What brings you here/what do you love most about Colorado? I was sick of driving 4 hours to New Hampshire to go hiking and I had just graduated from college and was looking for a change. I love the natural high of being at the summit of a14er and feeling like I'm on top of the world...it's just amazing. Moving here has been one of the best decisions I've ever made!
Sativa or Indica?: Indica all the way! I love the relaxing quality especially at night when I'm winding down. But if I'm hanging out with people, a hybrid is also good. Nothing like good company with a good smoke.
Strain of weed you'd want with you on a deserted island: I would have to go with Hindu Kush. It seems to be the perfect indica for me; the right amount of relaxation without being too sleepy. I also love how it makes me laugh at the silliest things :)
Favorite Edible?: I really liked the Strongest Cookie in the World. It didn't have an overly weedy taste thankfully and had a really nice come-up high and left me giggling all night.
Funniest/strangest customer request? I heard a customer ask if we had 70's weed... cause weed today is too strong.
Coolest/funnest thing you've ever done while high?" I was going up on a rollercoaster and once we reached the very top, my high kicked in full force and....just kidding. I honestly can't think of anything..but that's because I was high and forgot what happened :P
Favorite food when you have the munchies?: Blue Bell Chocolate Chip ice cream!! Even in winter! But if I don't have that, I usually go for Kit-Kats. Or I'll just eat what's in reach haha.
Tunes you rock out to on your way to work?: This is my favorite question on here...I love cruisin down 287/66 switching between classic rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and all the rock legends) and heavier rock like System of a Down, Korn, Rob Zombie, etc., it really helps wake me up in the morning. Music is the best part of my drive into the Depot.
Career you'd have if you weren't budtending (What are you supposed to be doing?) I would definitely be working at a garden center in perennials. I LOVE plants, working outside, getting my hands dirty, educating people about plants...just everything about that type of work. Every season is different, every day is different...it's a unique job. I also get to use what I learn at work when I hike, like finding edible plants or just being able to identify what something is. I just really love it!
You get the chance to smoke a joint and chill with any famous person - who would it be - and why?: First of all, I'm jealous of the guys who got to meet the Trailer Park Boys! That's awesome! With that said, I would love to smoke with Dustin Pedroia, the second baseman of the Boston Red Sox! I love baseball and he's one of the few amazing infielders who play through their injuries, so I'll make our J an indica ☺
Philosophy/Words to live by.: A while ago I was asked where I see myself in 5 years, and that got me thinking...I realized I don't care where I am as long as I'm happy. I think happiness is something we should strive for and not just go through daily life always thinking 'what if?' Try new things, say 'yes' instead of 'no' (otherwise I wouldn't be here working with amazing people!) You might be pleasantly surprised ☺
