A lot of people complain about our state’s medical marijuana program, although I guess 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 odor the hour you opened the back to take a strong whiff. This led me to throwing away weed on a handful of possibilities 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 downsides. I’ll pay the money once a year with the state to retain our medical marijuana card, plus the fees to see the medical marijuana doctor 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 pay 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 day starting from the day and ending when all of us go to sleep at evening. I couldn’t imagine paying a 15% or 25% tax on our marijuana, which is where the taxes are in some cities and states. People complain about the cost of a medical marijuana card, however shopping at a recreational cannabis dispensary all year is even more extravagant in the long run.
