Minnesotans are now able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter. It became official Tuesday.
Here I am in Iowa, just surrounded by states that have legalized… like being in a dry county, whatever am I to do? 😏
You think it’s weird in Iowa? Try Wisconsin! Literally every state it touches now has legal weed except for the tiny bit of Iowa we touch in the corner. Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan. All now have legal weed. But I still see the news reports in Wisconsin about “criminals” being caught with weed. It’s insane.
I still got a petty weed charge from 11yrs ago when i was a teen in wisconsin, that place will never change
I thought Missouri would never but I was surprised. Hopefully Wisconsin too!!
Yeah, its frustrating here sometimes. At least I’m a short drive from one of those bordering states…
Hope for wind?
In Wyoming and I feel the same. Other states are making money while mine is spending money arresting people.
Yes! Like I guess I could just give all this money to Illinois and improve their economy…
Well DEFINITELY don’t you dare drive to one of those said states to aquire any marijuana. That would be exceedingly naughty.
Right? Something a law abiding citizen of a pot-free state would never do!
The problem is that if you get caught you can be charged a federal crime instead of with a state crime.
Federal crimes include mandatory minimum sentences/jail time in addition to fines.
Believe me, I have thought about making the trip elsewhere since my state will be the last to ever legalize. The closest legal place is 2.5 hours from my house.
Me getting caught would screw up multiple lives including my own, however. Instead, I have to settle for the poor man’s stuff (delta8, delta9, etc) and only get the real stuff when I travel. The poor man’s stuff helps a medical condition I have, but is nothing like the real thing.
I have actually found some Delta 9 products that definitely get the job done. But the next day tends to be rougher, like drinking cheap whiskey. Even if you don’t get super drunk on it, you know you had cheap whiskey the next day. If you got rowdy, oof.
Out of the legally grey hemp bill products I’ve tried, I think hhc is my fav.
I’ve had good results, but it’s really come down to finding a reliable place to buy and a good brand. Personally have been using Mellow Fellow’s carts, and they’ve been the best I’ve had outside of actual weed.
Flower has been harder, admittedly. Knew of one place that had really quality stuff, but they’re pretty much going out of business now and there’s currently no news about what’s being done with their farm.
Which Mellow Fellow’s products have you enjoyed? Readying my first order…
I’ve tried all of their 4Mg dual-packs. The Picasso and Euphoria stuff. All of them are great combinations, either for swapping off mid session, or if you’re getting burnt out on the one you have running.
That will last me ~3 weeks, give or take a couple days.
I cant even get out of my state in 2.5 hours. Not sure how long I’d have to drive to get some legal weed.
Ah, I see you live in Texas.
Yeah, I get that. It’s a shame we can’t get it Federally legalized.
We should legalize it federally and then only allow commercial growing in the states that have already legalized it. Dont let them boost their tax haul for something they decided they didnt like.
That’s why you never commit more than 1 crime at a time.
Don’t worry Kim Reynolds will keep Iowa safe from the dangers of addiction and scary gateway drugs.
Funny considering the woman is an alcoholic drunk driver.
Even the medical ones for cataracts and arthritis are out. In Iowa, you can only have pot if you currently have cancer and/or are dying. That’s not completely true, but it is only for the most extreme medical conditions.
I think the way the laws are written, you are correct. But you can get a med card easily according to the people I’ve spoken to at bud an Mary’s.
I heard huffing road salt can give you a pretty good high and there should be no shortage of it around Iowa. Also, boofing freshly shucked corn is supposed to induce quite the euphoric experience. You’re not completely out of options in rural Iowa.
Well now i’m thinking I didn’t give Iowa enough of a chance.
This ancient Iowan practice is actually the origin of the game “corn hole.” Back in the day people used to compete to see who could get the most cobs down their friend’s hole. Whoever got the most won that year’s prized dairy cow.
You’re supposed to shuck it??
You can buy in Illinois even with out of state ID apparently.
Yes, about half as much as in-state license holders can.
How do think I feel in Wisconsin?
