No, but that news is seriously discouraging.
is leaving that state a viable option for you?
Technically yes, realistically no. I'd rather be a force for change here. It's a wonderful place, despite our backwards politicians.
Hello from Wisconsin!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm also in one of the few remaining illegal states, and I don't expect that to change any time soon (marijuana legality or my ability to move someplace better).
Can't really offer you anything except company.
I have spent way too much time getting my hopes up for things to change here. Appreciate the company. May the day come for us both sooner than we think. 🍃
Same, except I'm basically dependent on federal action and hoping the state doesn't decide to say "nah" and re-criminalize it at the state level (or some other obstruction).
We don't have citizen-initiated ballot initiatives here, so only the state legislature can introduce any kind of legalization bills. Given the climate, that ain't happening. I'm surprised we even got medical, TBH, but I don't qualify.
But, maybe some day!
I'm in Texas. I get an ounce of type 2 (about half cbd, half thc) every month and occasionally i order type 1 (high thc) flower or vapes. It all comes via USPS to my mailbox, totally legal thanks to the 2018 farm bill. There are only about 6 states that have outlawed it - some on the west coast because the smaller hemp farms cut into profits for the bigger weed companies.
I'm medical in a legal state and got told I was "wasting (the interviewer's) time" because they're DOT (it was a job as a barge deckhand). Meanwhile all those dudes get wasted pretty much at all times, I found White Claw cans strewn around the worksite. Jah forbid I smoke a fuckin' joint in my own living room though!
Yeah, testing for weed now-a-days in any state is just fucked up and stupid.
Not to rub it in, but as someone who lives in a state where it has been legal for about 10 years and who also works from home, my experience couldn't be more different than yours.
I guess it just comes down to electing better people to represent your state, or moving.
Is medical marijuana a possibility there?
Nope :/
Are you sure the tests would detect whatever synthetic cannabinoid you have available? Afaik most common drug tests dont react to HHC for example
Yes, unfortunately. Everything here is delta 8 or delta 9. I've even heard someone pissing hot from cbd. I guess if you take it enough, the trace thc can build up.
