Many people consider cracking a cold one on the range, but in cannabis legal states like Michigan, what about popping an edible before tee-off on the course? Cannabis has the potential to enter recreational pastimes, such as golf, with some adjustments to regulations or preparation by cannabis connoisseurs. Currently, it is not legal to smoke in public; however, you can certainly enjoy a THC-infused chocolate, like those provided by IndiGrow of Muskegon. Times are changing, and so are cannabis regulations. Elevate your golfing experience with the cannabis industry and knock off a stroke on your next outing.
