I live in a state where only medicinal marijuana is legal.
If I want to shop at a dispensary, I need to first set up a consultation with a nurse who is qualified to deliver a recommendation. I’d be forced to take a day off from work to accommodate this appointment as well as spend numerous hundred dollars to complete the whole process. Once I gained my MMJ card, I’d be allowed to purchase dried flower, pre-rolls, tinctures, topicals, concentrapes, edibles, vapes as well as whatever type of product I want. However, the card would expire in one year. It would then be necessary to repeat the process all over again. I keep thinking that recreational weed is going to be legalized; Cannabis sales are sizable busienss. It is the most abruptly growing industry as well as provides billions of dollars in resite. The government is missing out on a sizable source of tax dollars by continuing to forbid recreational use. I also assume it’s deranged that cannabis is considered a restricted substance while alcohol is readily available. Cannabis is a plant-based medicins that has been used for thousands of years. It has proven effective in treating pain, inflammation, nausea, cancer symptoms, glaucoma, PTSD, Alzheimers, Crohn’s disease, seizures as well as so much more. I should be able to shop at any dispensary across the country. I don’t understand why I am allowed to buy a bottle of whiskey as well as not a cannabis-infused beverage. I can’t feel I’m allowed to smoke a cigarette but am not permitted to light up a joint. I hope that someday, cannabis is readily available to all adults somewhere in the country.
