A lot of people think that my state is a recreational cannabis state.
That is totally not true.
What causes this opinion is that I live near a Seneca Nation Indian Reservation. The rez doesn’t operate under the same laws as we do. They just flat out ignore them. They have their own police force and they don’t pay tax. So technically they are not legally allowed to open a recreational cannabis dispensary. Who is going to stop them though? It brings money to our area and nobody wants to fight that group of people. So it is kind of swept under the rug and people look the other way on it. So I can get recreational cannabis if I want to. There are tons of dispensaries all over the reservation now. It is really nice since I have wanted cannabis for medical purposes. Getting a doctor prescription and a medical weed card would have been hard. It also would have been difficult finding a medical cannabis dispensary. It is so easy now. I just drive over to the reservation and get what I need. I take a tincture every night in order to sleep. I also vape cannabis oil for anxiety during the workday. Everything is tax free and works just great for me. I am hopeful that eventually the state will allow recreational weed so that there are more shops to choose from. I would like to support other businesses in my area rather than just reservation ones.
