In Honor of my Mom’s Birthday:
Memory from the first time my mom tried an edible
December 19, 2021

This past weekend was my mom’s birthday, my mom has been a guiding character in my life, we’ve had our fair share of moments in my upbringing. We’re both curious women. I am more actionary with my curiosity than she is. But she’s curious. My mom had never in her life tried weed. I think in her earlier years she may have been more easily persuaded had it been accessible to her, but now as a super religious Catholic woman it’s a curiosity that had stayed in the back of her mind. Last December she came to my place for a weekend sleepover. I had some gummies from my trip to LA and on the last day she was staying I offered her some, I had offered my mom weed in the past and she had declined but this time she accepted. The gummies were 10 mg each so I decided we would split one in half. Then I took her on my usual walk down to the lake. I had some leftover B&W film in the camera from LA so I took that too (these shown are digital). The gummies hit at some point during our walk and then we made our way down Michigan Ave and ended at the Starbucks where we had an affogato. It was a really nice little adventure with my mom that day. It took a few months for me to drop off and pick up this film that’s been sitting there waiting for me to pick up, for no real reason other than I hadn’t made the time to do it. I think in some of the film we were doing some experimental poses, not 100% sure. Happy Birthday Mom.
