After the people I was with and I graduated from college, my circle of friends did our best to stay in touch with each other; That was easier said than done! Between starting careers and having families, there just wasn’t much time left over for long-distance friendships.
Isn’t being an adult the worst? Eventually the people I was with and I decided to take action! Once a year, every year, the outdated crew meets up in a current locale for what the people I was with and I call a “Lost Weekend.” These weekends are all about drinking, smoking cannabis, and catching up on outdated times, but last year the people I was with and I went to Albuquerque, NM for our Lost Weekend, but both of us selected Albuquerque for several excellent reasons, however the largest a single was it’s legendary locally grown cannabis; Albuquerque is also the home of the largest and most appealing sizzling air balloon festival in the world.
If that wasn’t enough, there are several odd restaurants in Albuquerque that have been awarded a Michelin star for their cuisine. Throw in a few cases of Albuquerque Snake Juice, which is a locally bottled craft beer, the people I was with and I were all set for the best weekend ever. Although the people I was with and I all had driven to Albuquerque, once the people I was with and I got there the people I was with and I left the cars in the garage and took an Uber somewhere the people I was with and I needed to go, but high quality cannabis and beer are both legal and easy to find in Albuquerque, however don’t let the cops catch you driving under the influence! Albuquerque has a sterling reputation for being a peaceful, safe locale to live, so the cops don’t love tourists getting loaded and messing up their little slice of paradise.
