Just wondering which of these 2 states have the better mmj laws. Thanks for any input.

GanjaPharma · 02-26-2011, 09:05 PM

right now i would say OR
if sb5073 passes.....WA

right now, wa lets me grow 15 plants and posses 24oz.
but
instead of protection from search and arrest...we have "affirmative defense"
so the reality of ones protection varies by county, and the local cops/DA.

Washington and Oregon are okay, but the real deal is California.

As far as everything else is concerned I think Oregon is more beautiful and cheaper to live. Less of a Yuppie Attitude in Oregon. A poor man can afford a beach house in Oregon.

Picking a state for weed alone is not the best idea. But staying out of a state with bad weed laws if you smoke is smart.

Not sure what Oregon beach has any cheap houses? Cheap and coast don't equate. My opinion from living on the Oregon coast for a lot of years.

The list of allowable ailments is quite short in WA.

Oregon right now. Oregon is about 3-4 yrs behind Cali. imo

anyone have experience with this?
friends from california have had to get their recommendation in california 1st before an Oregon doctor will renew it ...what gives?

We have affirmative defense here also and it's pretty much as you described with leo. Saved my ass recently.

SacredTHCRitual--"i've heard the ailment lists are shorter in both OR/WA. "--

Pretty sure I'd qualify

Not the reason. Wife may have to transfer. But would be next year.
Just testing the waters to which state as where she'd be going we could live in either state.

Well if you go to a beach town in say, San Diego or Santa Cruz you cannot even live there unless you are a millionaire.

You can move to many beach towns from Brookings to Seaside and find affordable house in these beach towns where you can walk to the beach in minutes and most likely see the beach because of the hills and bluff over look them. Oregon is very depressed and money goes far.

Nice thing about OR and CA: the ocean beaches are public property.
