Man if Oklahoma goes recreational I can just run about 10 minutes north of where I live in Texas and buy what I need.  Of course at a much higher price.  I will just stick to buying vape and edibles from them and continue to use my guy for the leaf.

Gonna be funny if AZ passes recreational pot. Colorado, California, Nevada, Oregon... Utah is going to be surrounded by states with recreational pot. Maybe not Wyoming any time soon, but Wendover, NV is just as close. If Idaho passes medical, then recreational isn't too far behind when they realize that a plague of locusts isn't a-comin' to get them. We'll be the lone state holdout eventually, but will have plenty of sources, and an hour and a half isn't that far of a drive...

I can't even get excited about this anymore. They make these itsy-bitsy baby steps toward legalization but they overregulate it so hard that it's just frustrating & tedious. It's like every state is on a mission to take all the fun out of weed so that by the time it actually becomes available I don't even want it anymore. Washington & Oregon are the only places it's enjoyable, everywhere else makes such a total shiatshow of legalization that I'd rather boycott it than reward the idiotic state governments with my cash. "Medical weed" is just extortion. I now understand all the old hippies who say legalization ruined weed. It really did.

Remember, 25 is the magic number.

We already have 11 states & DC where it is legal for recreational use.

If 14 of those 18 states legalize it, a majority of the states will have legalized it, & keeping it illegal at the federal level will become more & more untenable.

Gotta keep them prisons full. Quotas & contracts. Gov't doesn't give a shiat about what voters want, they care about money, & the legislators are all heavily invested in prison/jail corporations. So many parasitic federal & local jobs will disappear if it were truly legal, they can't have that.

Because it's the devil weed.

The "Silent Generation" still stands opposed to marijuana legalization, and they ALWAYS VOTE. The younger the demographic, the higher the support for MJ legalization, but the lower the voter turnout. This is why the average age of the Senate is 62, our president is 73, and the top 3 Democratic contenders are even older.

It's pretty well done here in Michigan. I can go to any of a half dozen recreational stores or just order it online for delivery or just grow it myself. Plus, there's a ton of medical stores all over the state.

That is changing, As old people find out that pot can ease some of the pain that comes with getting old, more and more of them will creep over to the other side.  If you've seen those videos of dispensaries opening in newly legal states, you will notice how many old folks are standing in line.

It would be fantastic since Arizona still has possession as a felony, the only state left in the damn country.

tirob: Dick Hammer: I now understand all the old hippies who say legalization ruined weed. It really did.

Half or more of the "fun" of using is and always was the idea that merely by doing so you became an outlaw or a dissident or whatever you thought that using turned you into.  It was an ego trip.  Jerry Rubin expressed this sort of thing back in the day:

"Smoking pot makes you a criminal and a revolutionary. As soon as you take your first puff, you are an enemy of society."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Rubin?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjfmYWt9ZrnAhURa80KHX5dAlEQFjAAegQIAhAB

Legalize the stuff and this element of the experience is removed, and using weed turns into nothing more than the tedious bullsh*t that all of us know it is.

Maybe it's just because I had some really weak shiat back in the day, but I really can't believe how good weed is these days. I guess it had better be for $400/oz but that will last me forever.

Guy brought over some "orange-kush" or something over Christmas. Came over with a mutual friend. I hadn't seen the ok guy in 20 years. Anyway, he tells me his stuff is super duper. So he proceeds to bring out a small garlic bottle with his weed in it. Felt like I'd smoked unlimited breadsticks at the Olive Garden. Vampire weed.Did not dig it. I'm still not sure if he did that on purpose.
