My husband and I lived in a southern state with medical marijuana.
We got our medical marijuana cards after going to see a doctor and paying the state a $75 fee.
I wanted to start using medical marijuana for PTSD symptoms that were getting progressively worse and my husband wanted to use medical marijauna to help with his anxiety. We each had reasons that were listed under the acceptable terms for medical marijuana, and we were issued medical cards so we could buy anything from the local dispensary. The prices were absurdly high, at least we had legal access to marijuana. Last year, my husband and I decided to sell our house and move to the west coast where weed is 100% legal. You do not need a note from the doctor and you can smoke it legally inside your home. Before my husband and I moved, we were paying about $40 for an eighth of marijuana and that was smalls or popcorn buds. The first time I went to a recreational shop, I was amazed by the cheap prices, and recreational marijuana is so much cheaper than medical weed. I’m saving a ton of money now that we moved. Before we moved, everything was easily costly. Instead of paying $40 for an eighth of a flower, I can find various strains from a multitude of growers for under $30 and a couple under $20. I did not realize that recreational marijuana was going to be so cheap. We would have moved out west years ago. The weather is clear and sizzling and the people are friendly and welcoming.
