#90. CHEETAH PISS 

Legal cannabis stores will open soon in New York. But illegal cannabis sellers still abound in Washington Square Park. 

Some young entrepreneurs caught my eye today setting up their display of packaged cannabis buds alongside clear jars for visitors to see and smell the products. A small whiteboard boasts handwritten names of different weed mixes they sell. I notice the names all sound like desserts, including Rainbow Sherbet, Berry Blast, Blue Skittles, Grape Jelly. 

So, to break the ice I ask: 

            “Does everything here have a sweetness to it?” 

                

            "Well, yeah, sort of but maybe what you want is Cheetah Piss.” 

I repeat the name thinking I misheard. But sure enough, there it is in a small shiny package -- Cheetah Piss. 

             “Actually, I think it’s a mix. It’s kind of funky, but we cut it with a little Lemonade.                      Wanna smell?” 

And he offers me a jar for a sniff. "Yup, I smell the lemon.” 

If you would you like a lesson in the growing cannabis world, Google Cheetah Piss and Lemonade.
