I Went to a Dispensary Like An Adult

As much as I love a good martini, my hangovers now last longer than my nights out and honestly, the math is no longer mathing. Aging is rude.

Gummies, however, are very much having a moment. CBD shops, dispensaries, smoke shops. They are everywhere. It is also no longer shocking to hear someone casually say they “took one” like it is a vitamin. That said, I have not tried gummies yet. There is already a lot happening up here 🧠 and I’m genuinely nervous about how my brain might respond. But I still wanted to learn how it all works so stopped by @finefettlect in Stamford. Before I go any further, I need to admit what I was expecting. In my head, it was basically a candy store with rows of gummies labeled by mood. Happy. Calm. Ambitious. Quiet. Talkative. I imagined you could just grab the vibe you wanted for the day. Not exactly how it works.

The reality is far more structured and professional. You need a license to enter. There are clear distinctions between medicinal and recreational options. The space itself is massive, clean, approachable, and incredibly well run. I spent time talking with James from the medicinal side and here is the cannabis cheat sheet no one ever explains clearly:

Indica: “in da couch.” Calm, chill, sleep leaning
Sativa: uplifting and buzzy. Great for productivity
Hybrid: a balanced middle ground without extremes

Edibles can take two to three hours to kick in since they metabolize through the liver, so starting slow is key. THC has anti inflammatory properties. CBN supports sleep. CBD is the most anti inflammatory of all.

What sets Fine Fettle apart is that everything is guided by medical professionals. Whether you are simply curious, wellness focused, or exploring alternatives, they help you find what fits your goals without guessing or pressure.

Consider this your reminder that self care looks different for everyone. Sometimes it is a facial. Sometimes it is yoga. And sometimes it’s a gummy.

Save this for later and send it to the friend who has questions but does not know where to start.
