No, but that news is seriously discouraging.
is leaving that state a viable option for you?
Technically yes, realistically no. I'd rather be a force for change here. It's a wonderful place, despite our backwards politicians.
Hello from Wisconsin!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm also in one of the few remaining illegal states, and I don't expect that to change any time soon (marijuana legality or my ability to move someplace better).
Can't really offer you anything except company.
I have spent way too much time getting my hopes up for things to change here. Appreciate the company. May the day come for us both sooner than we think. 🍃
Same, except I'm basically dependent on federal action and hoping the state doesn't decide to say "nah" and re-criminalize it at the state level (or some other obstruction).
We don't have citizen-initiated ballot initiatives here, so only the state legislature can introduce any kind of legalization bills. Given the climate, that ain't happening. I'm surprised we even got medical, TBH, but I don't qualify.
But, maybe some day!
I'm in Texas. I get an ounce of type 2 (about half cbd, half thc) every month and occasionally i order type 1 (high thc) flower or vapes. It all comes via USPS to my mailbox, totally legal thanks to the 2018 farm bill. There are only about 6 states that have outlawed it - some on the west coast because the smaller hemp farms cut into profits for the bigger weed companies.
I'm medical in a legal state and got told I was "wasting (the interviewer's) time" because they're DOT (it was a job as a barge deckhand). Meanwhile all those dudes get wasted pretty much at all times, I found White Claw cans strewn around the worksite. Jah forbid I smoke a fuckin' joint in my own living room though!
Not to rub it in, but as someone who lives in a state where it has been legal for about 10 years and who also works from home, my experience couldn't be more different than yours.
I guess it just comes down to electing better people to represent your state, or moving.
Yeah, testing for weed now-a-days in any state is just fucked up and stupid.
Are you sure the tests would detect whatever synthetic cannabinoid you have available? Afaik most common drug tests dont react to HHC for example
Yes, unfortunately. Everything here is delta 8 or delta 9. I've even heard someone pissing hot from cbd. I guess if you take it enough, the trace thc can build up.
Is medical marijuana a possibility there?
Nope :/
I am Canadian
