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
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 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.
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.
You’re supposed to shuck it??
