420 in a slave state.

[Downsouthjukin]

I had to spend this 420 in the slave state of Alabama. A state that still celebrates the birthdays of Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis and confederate Memorial Day. And yes spend ing 420 in the armpit of America has sucked as much as you can imagine. I normally travel to a free state for the holiday but I have a wedding I have to attend so that fouled up my 420 this year. I am gonna visit Humboldt County California next month though and I have always been told the grass grows greener there than anywhere, so I plan to make it up a little.

Enough feeling sorry for myself. Happy 420 to all you people in the land of the free!!! Regale me with tales of freedom. I can take it.

My condolences.

2. I had the freedom to wait 1.5 hours at the local dispensary for service.

There are big sales for 420.

I chose to decline the wait.

3. 1st world problems.

I would have crawled across broken glass on my hands and knees to have a little legal weed today.

4. Honestly, one of the reasons I moved from NC to FL was to get medical MJ.

Medical MJ is exactly like legal MJ except one needs a specific medical card to get it.

Many types of maladies will qualify including insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, etc.

Alabama does have medical MJ.

Most states do not have ample dispensaries in rural areas.

I am highly sympathetic to you.

I remember well the saying, "Weed will get you through times of no money, better than money will get you through times of no weed."

6. Alabama has medical in name only.

You should read the law. It is a law just passed so they could claim that they are compassionate. It is a ridiculous law. i suspect they are dispensing the chemical stuff made from hemp and a shitload of chemicals and solvents and not real live THC. No plant material allowed. Only pharmaceutical products. Have to to go through crazy hoops. For instance you have to have documented that every thing under the sun was tried and failed first. Hell we still have dry counties where you can't buy alcohol.

11. Florida went through those early phases as well -- pharmaceuticals only.

When the "flower" finally comes in, there will be many shortages and high prices.

Competition among our dispensaries has driven prices down. I pay about half for the same flower I bought two years ago.

I won't be trite and tell you to get out of there. It's obviously your home.

Again, sympathies.

9. I did that last year...

This year I went to my favorite 420 store and figured I'd use the ATM there. It was out of cash since about mid day!

But the casino next door had one that wasn't empty yet. I had to take advantage of the sales.

5. I'm visiting a state with recreational use

I went to the dispensary about 5 minutes from the hotel, bought a sweet dispo vape with 1/2g of tasty oil and a 1g fatty preroll for old time’s sake. Took some interesting walkabouts.

7. I'm sorry. I guess you're not with the right Alabamians

Well, I'll take a toke for you lol. You'll be free soon. Have fun at the wedding anyway.

8. Today in So Cal, someone tried to explain to me how slavery was really ok.

I'm ready to pack a bowl.

10. I hope you hit them

I would have. Probably a liver shot. Left em pissing blood for several days.

12. I was shocked and saddened

really for the rest of the day.

13. I had a Door dash driver who was a black man

tell me he was a republican tonight. I was worried he would get lost and go to he wrong house in my neighborhood which is overrun with white supremacist just like the one who shot the kid that's been in the news. I told him to be careful as this was a highly republican neighborhood. He responded it was ok as he is a republican. I asked him if he was serious and if he would vote for Trump. He said absolutely. He said he believed he was what is best thing for the country.
