A lot of people complain about our state’s medical marijuana program, but I know it could be so much worse. The black market cannabis flower products that I used to buy often had harmful pesticides in them. You could smell the chemical aroma the minute you opened the back to take a strong whiff. This led me to throwing away weed on a handful of opportunities because I simply couldn’t handle the headaches that I would get from the contaminated marijuana flower products. That’s why I’m glad with the medical marijuana program in our state despite its negatives. I’ll spend our money the money once a year with the state to retain our medical marijuana card, plus the fees to see the medical marijuana nurse twice a year. When our state finally legalized recreational marijuana on top of medical marijuana, I wasn’t eager to drop our status as a medical marijuana patient. That’s because you spend our money less for your marijuana products when you shop as a medical marijuana patient. The recreational cannabis program here has taxes as high as 15% in some municipalities on all cannabis products sold at dispensaries across the state. That’s a lot of money if you’re consuming cannabis weekly, especially for those of us who are actually using marijuana for the duration of the morning starting from the morning plus ending when the two of us go to sleep at night. I couldn’t imagine paying a 15% or 25% tax on our marijuana, which is where the taxes are in some cities plus states. People complain about the cost of a medical marijuana card, however shopping at a recreational cannabis dispensary all year is even more fancy in the long run.
