It’s really nice to live in a state where recreational and medical marijuana is legal.
I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else in the country.
When I graduated from college, I decided to move to the West Coast. Marijuana was already legal for recreational and medical reasons. There are dispensary advertisements on the roadsides and in the grocery store. There are dispensary advertisements on every street corner. Because it is easy to access legal marijuana, the prices are relatively inexpensive. There are a lot of taxes that have to be paid, but the price of recreational marijuana is still a lot lower than the price of marijuana on the street. The average cost for an ounce of marijuana on the street is about $300. The average cost for an ounce of outdoor growing marijuana in a dispensary is easily half that cost. There are many state officials that try to drag their feet and keep the laws from changing, but it is clear that marijuana sales can improve the lives of everyone in the state. The taxes from the products help to fund work on the roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. The taxes go to local schools to provide educational resources to the students. There are a lot of reasons to legalize medical and recreational marijuana. I absolutely support the legalization of marijuana across the country. With so many proven medical benefits, I find it terribly sad that medical marijuana hasn’t been legalized across the board. No one in this country should be denied access to medical pot while others freely enjoy the plant on the street.
