Cannabis

Funny story. I collect earrings and I plan to buy a pair in every port. In Morocco, I noticed that there are palm trees everywhere, since Morocco has a Mediterranean climate. So, at the souk (market) last night, I found this really cute pair of dangly earrings, with a green bead and then, what I thought was a palm leaf hanging below that. I bartered for them and paid about 50 dirham for the pair, about $6. Later that evening, while eating dinner, I showed my friends my new earrings. They all asked why I would buy earrings with a marijuana plant on them. What? You have to understand, even though I am traveling the world, I am still pretty naïve at heart. I was mortified that I had purchased as my “morocco earrings” earrings with weed on them. I assured the group that I really didn’t know what it was I had purchased, and I’ve never even been around weed. Needless to say, I am saving my earrings for next time I am a hippie for Halloween… oh well.
