Yeah because the states where it's legal are usually better than the states where it's not.

Pot has been legal here since October. I've seen exactly 1 person smoking it since then.

Turns out most of the appeal of marijuana was that it was illegal, seems like nobody smokes it anymore.

That's perfectly rational. Unless it's a situation where you are moving for whatever reason and you really don't want to, only because the state you have to move to has legalized weed. Or youre turning down a great job offer just because you'd have to move to a state with legal weed. But if it's just a case of "I like where I'm at and have no desire to move just to be in a state that has legal weed", then ok.

However, if you already live in a state where it is legal and you want to move just to be in a state where it is illegal, that would be pretty silly.

Unless you smoke, why would you want to move to a state where it's legal?

That sounds a lot like me bypassing region locks in order to play the Kingdom Hearts Final Mixes, before the HD versions of the games released for the PS3/PS4.

I don't have to move anywhere, but I do want to move somewhere.

great job offer


I haven't gotten one of those yet, and I'm wondering why not. Then I remember my distinct lack of talent and lack of ambition and am suddenly reminded why.

More and more states are making it legal, which means it may eventually become federally legal as well, at which point it becomes a question of if individual states can still make it illegal at that point. I wouldn't be surprised if it became federally legal if the next president is a democrat.

Try moving to like texas or arizona.....they may keep it illegal no matter what.

I live in Arizona and we're close to making it legal. Since we are a dumb business state though, the recreational bills have been super shady about where the money goes, so it hasn't passed. The next time around, I could see it happening.
Also, it is medically legal. I've had my card for over 3 years. I'd say it has been quite an investment, cause it brought prices down while bringing quality way up. So nice to unwind however I want, despite having to pay a yearly fee for it.

Yes because people who smoke weed are going to smoke weed whether it's legal or not. It's not hard to get.

Oh it's been legal in Wa where I live for awhile, and in CA for a shorter amount of time.

It has had some serious affects on the populations, especially the young. My uncle for instance is quite upset as both of my cousins (those are the 2 who were on American Idol) may not graduate HS and basically just want to smoke weed all the time. Probably not just because of the weed/drugs...but it was certainly a factor.

It's just about everywhere in WA though, I think there may be more weed stores then Starbucks at this point lol.

I still think drugs should be legal (and taxed) and the war on drugs is stupid, but, I admit that it hasn't been all good results from making it legal and very available to everyone (there are weed stores closer to High Schools then places to eat lol.

I'd say no. If you really can't stand it it's probably best for you to not be around it. Although it's no different to smoking in itself to me and I've no major issue with either.

Nearly everyone I know over the age of 20 has tried pot at least once.

It's pretty authoritarian that the government feels the need to protect me from them by locking them in a solid brick cage for 5 years. My manager's son is in jail for 10 - 20 years for having too much pot on him.

I want to tell her that I'm doing everything I can to support politicians that want to legalize weed, thereby freeing her son, but she's a Trump voter and that would just piss her off. She also smokes weed, but she's much more invested in anti-illegal-immigration... here in Ohio.

This is totally not what I have seen. I'm still behind making it legal, but I might support a plan to make the min age 21 like with alcohol. Much like with alcohol, there will be pot smoked at parties etc by people under the legal age, and the cat may be out of the bag at this point anyway, but it might help.

There are some bad situations going on right now with kids graduation (or well...not graduating) from HS etc. It's not just pot, it's a feeling of despondency and other factors, so I can't totally blame them for it, but yeah the drugs (usually not just pot) are certainly not helping.

Drugs in general are way more available at this point. They used to say pot was the gateway drug, and honestly I have no clue if it was, or if the younger generation just decided to say screw it, lets party cause non of it matters, but yeah, it's crazy out there.

Kinda, unless you prefer to live somewhere with even more drunk drivers and fentanyl overdoses

To be fair, the 6 states where weed is legal and the DOT looked into OUIs and crashes all had higher numbers after weed became legalized.

I think your source might be out of date. It's legal for recreation in 10 states now, and there are newer studies showing that the initial 5-6% increase of accidents after legalization has dropped back down again.
