Vert Neighborhood Dispensary

Improved Essays
One fine day not too long ago, there I was, inside Verts Neighborhood Dispensary. On the ‘medical needs’ side of the room. Being waited on by a highly trained and personable budtender. When out the corner of my right eye, I catch a glimpse of a white bag mixed in with a rather nice selection of edibles. Some of these I knew because I recently did write-ups about them.

Clear of whatever cannabis that would be in my system earlier, I figured out how to open the white childproof packaging, and took out the organic cookie. Was well made. No crumbs in the bottom of the pouch. Freshness date on the back. BIG yummy dark chocolate chips. That inner voice told me eating this whole thing, might not be a good idea. Even with my tolerance. So I got out my trusty pocket-knife and cut a chuck that would equal one-quarter of the whole cookie.

Take into account that most of the stories I heard about adding ‘love’ to something that another human being was intended to ingest, involved bodily fluids, health alarms, and people going to jail. Which is, of course, the furthest from the truth in regards to this writing assignment. For I believe those at ‘The Growing Kitchen’ printed ‘love’ as the first ingredient because, and this is said after consuming the product. I can conclude, while some might say assume, because they were one hundred percent committed to every aspect that went into the manufacturing of this nutritious pharmaceutical alternative.

    The author learns the difference between "natural" and "artificial," and shows how chemical flavors such as Methyl anthranilate (one of the first artificial flavors; smells like grapes), created by "flavorists," has become a billion dollar industry and has transformed our eating habits as consumers. He explains that many of the natural and artificial flavors today are made in the same factories, but for some reason, consumers view natural flavor as healthier and are willing to pay a higher price for related products. The author uses statistical data (logos) cited from studies performed by the Institute of Food Research to prove the point that the "manipulation of smell" contributes to the majority of what people claim…

She clarifies, that by using the word "natural" food companies are getting more and more people to buy their products since it sounds like it is "nutritious", "fresh" and produced without chemicals.…
