Nature’s Nexus dispensary in Redding is having poetry contest. Naturally, all the prizes are pot. An eighth for first place, half an eighth for second place and a gram for third and fourth places.
The theme is Happiness Happens. The deadline is Aug. 31. naturesnexus@gmail.com is where you send your submission.
The contest is only open to dispensary members. But if you’re in the Redding area or if you’re planning a trip to Redding this weekend (houseboating on Lake Shasta’s cool, and you may run into the great country music pothead Merle Haggard, who lives thereabouts) I recommend dropping in and joining Nature’s Nexus.
I don’t have many happy poems in my book but I can tell you that I found happiness at Nature’s Nexus during last fall’s harvest when the dispensary was selling a saucy outdoor sativa named Early Girl — O, her nugs so fondly on my lips she danced and in my heart she lives — for $10 an eighth.
