Would You Move to a Place with More Liberal Marijuana Laws?

[bigdaddyc9]

All of my family lives in this area and the surrounding areas.My family has been my source of energy against my illness(s).When I was growing up,we did everything in-family.My Mom had 3 sisters who all had 2 or 3 kids and we all did things together.We still do.
Even though the illegality is causing me almost 85% of my stress I cannot and will not leave.Someday NY will grow some balls and do whats right for the people.Peace and One Love BigD

I must say. Of course, CA is easier to grow in than say, Oklahoma....

But, in Small-Town Areas, there is little or NO other way to make a living, anymore. The Economy is a Shambles. In other words, if you are growing, "They" know who ya are...

Kinda Disconcerting. I heard this from someone who was employed by the LEO's, and is a friend.

Dont you mean if you are growing & SELLING
They know who you are...

How would the low economy suddenly expose growers?
I dont get it... unless your a dealer flashing your untaxed cash?

 

[Hammerhead]

They dont know who Iam. Im a ghost lol

I don't want to move where i'm from now, but I definitely think about it.

i love my place here but canadians laws are going to hell with satan (harper)

bill c-15 is far from being dead and will be introduced in is original form in march . c-15 was 1 plant = 6 - 9 months . c-15 is a copy/paste of old usa reagan style kind of logic...

the Canadian medicinal mmj program is just not working because the way its done, the doctor have the od of prescribing an amount of mj , mj got no din # and is not approved by any colleges of medicine in canada/medical association , in my province doctor are discouraged to do it at the high level .they will check everything the doctor do and will suspend him or fine him for stupid reason and all on a sudden the doctor got complaint from 'new' patients that have been in is office for 15 minutes just to fill a legal complaint against the doctor and when the colleges receive a complaint...they proceed it...its like cops who put drugs in your pocket while they arrest you...its all staged to put any doctor in deep shit to the point most doctor are scared by the word mmj for them its like screaming heil hitler or something in that nature . they just want health Canada to exclude the prescription part , in a words doctors just want to fill paper that state your serious medical condition and that should be enough for health Canada .but its not working like that ...

even if you have aids in final stage or cancer or whatever condition the doctor and specialist will simply tell you to fuck off if you just mention mmj and the health canada program . doctor receive a lots of gratification from pharmaceutical corp

i cant move in the usa because my medical condition made me a disable person and you are not eligible to became an immigrant that will collect disability check and not working ...i would leave the fuck for one of the 14 mmj state because of the fantastic nature of some of these place ,id never move in an urban area . would be glad to move to vermont, new england , mass , these place are just perfect for solitary people who mind their biz .

 

[Mr. Stinky]

the wording of the question is bad, but i get the point. modern liberalism is very much against personal freedom, including the freedom to grow and smoke. keep voting for these modern liberals/progressives and we wont have many rights or privilages left very soon. the only way we will be free to grow and smoke, or do anything for ourselves for that matter, is thru libertarians, not liberals. /rant


and ya, ill be takin advantage of the MMJ laws in MI this year.

 

[JamieShoes]

I moved to NL in 97.. I go home to the UK sometimes and as much as I love the place, I just don't understand how people (me included) deal with the messed up scene there.

bad legislation = bad business practices = bad weed

um, this isn't insider info. the Emerald Traingle is well known for it's "green economy". It's more like "don't ask, don't tell" in norcal. They aren't going to bust everyone unless they want their little towns and cities to go bankrupt, along with all the business in town.

 

[TBL420uk]

I live in the UK & was starting to save up the funds to move to Holland as its just not safe to grow in the UK but then i got busted. I was in the Dam at the of the bust on a reccy mission. I`m back to square one now but given half a chance i would move to Holland or Spain without a second thought. The dumb thing is America is not an option cos i have a record for possession & one for production so i cant get a visa to go in a medical state, even though i have a valid medical need for cannabis. Why should i face going to jail for putting something in my body that causes no harm, causes no one else no harm & i can grow myself? It gets me even more pissed off knowing its not the same for everyone else & loads of people are growing for their own need or buying it through legal ways in various parts of the world. If i want to smoke weed without fear i have to spend over £1000 to go to Amsterdam for 3 nights, surely it would be better off spent in my own country to help our poor economy?
& dont get me started on the tax on cigs & money spent on smoking related illness by the NHS. & the same goes for A&E ward that have to spend countless £`s to patch up our nation of binge drinkers, doesnt the youth of the uk make you proud? But the government get their tax £`s from the sale of cheap booze so who cares?

After living in Saudi Arabia for 16 years, almost anywhere I go is more liberal... The death penalty is still in full force, executions are public and carried out with a sword.

For drug possession (including alcohol), Saudi nationals are occasionally executed. More common is lengthy jail time and public lashings.
For drug possession (including alcohol), expatriates are rarely executed, but often jailed. It usually takes weeks for the embassy to negotiate their release, and then they and their family are deported. Despite the fact that expatriates are rarely punished in public, what happens inside the jail stays there - police officers don't get reprimanded for abusing prisoners.

If a Saudi national is caught trafficking, the penalty is usually death.
If an expatriate is caught trafficking, they are in a world of shit. The Saudi government will want to go ahead with an execution, but the expat's home country usually won't let them. This usually results in the expat being stuck in prison and the Saudi legal system (An oxymoron if I've ever heard one) for years... and as I said, these aren't Canadian or American prisons. Nobody cares what happens in there.


At the same time, privacy is valued above all else in the Muslim world. Expats live on compounds, and the police don't dare enter the compounds unless they are asked to because chances are the prince who owns the housing compound is much more powerful and important than anyone in the police department. Thus, the compounds are like home base and are full of alcohol, bars, and sinful western delights such as pork.
I currently live in British Columbia, and am much more paranoid about growing here than I would if I were back overseas.
Why?
Because in Canada even if you keep to yourself and only grow for personal use, you can still get busted because our privacy laws are a joke and are manipulated by those in charge to produce the most desirable outcome.
In Saudi, they might try to kill you if you get caught. However, their privacy laws are not just about legality, they are culturally engrained notions of respect. Thus the police might know 110% that you're distilling gallons and gallons of grain alcohol and know that they could nail you, but if it never leaves the expat community then no harm, no foul.

I moved to Cali over 2 years ago and the medical status was a large part in that decision.

Should Nevada legalize it acceptably... I'm moving there as I'd be closer to family.


The first state to legalize is going to see a reproduction of the gold rush. Lots of folks up and moving. Like everything... there will probably be worse issues that crop up after legalization.... before it gets significantly better that is.

Stay Safe!

 

[igrowone]

Hydro-Soil - gold rush and god knows what else
for example, how can you fire some one for using a state legal substance
at least if it's not during the job, good bye to the piss cup perhaps
it will be one hell of a new world

 

[CalcioErba2004]

VA to CA a little over 2 years ago. Best decision I ever made.

 

[shadoweye976]

i will move to the netherlands.not only because the weed. i like the dutch history,the dutch culture and the people in amsterdam-netherlands.first i have to make a lot of money -legally-before i say good bye to my country.

 

[grapeman]

Only if I was moving there for a good reason.
Don't understand the concept of needing to move just so I could smoke pot legally.

Sota childish don't ya think?

 

[Pythagllio]

No, I don't think that at all grapeman.

Your education on the medicinal benefits is lacking... that's all.
Were you truly educated on the subject, I'm sure you wouldn't have made such a poorly thought out post.

If you consider not being incarcerated of a federal crime childish, then yes, I agree with you completely.

I'm sure you would understand the concept pretty quick if you got caught with a "couple" of plants and a bag.

 

[idoja]

i'd be somewhere in western oregon right now if the economy/unemployment was not so bad.

 

[igrowone]

i can understand the need for safety in growing/consuming your favorite plant, and maybe a few people really do need to relocate
but gotta wonder if just setting up a small and very stealthy grow would be the better way to go
it can be done, may cost a bit of money but likely a lot less than a cross country move
