Would you leave your country just to have Marijuana legally? - Cannabis Laws & Cannabis Legislation - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Pretty straightforward question, would you leave your country just to have Marijuana legally? In some states like Florida it can be quite a challenge to actually get away with smoking Cannabis legally and would you ever get to the point of simply leaving the country to avoid any risk of jail-time or otherwise? Or do you rather like the risk involved and don't mind it, and are curious to see if it will ever be legalized recreationally on a federal level?

hell, i'd leave this country for a good paying job that did not drug test! only the unfortunate & the ignorant/reckless get busted. i have been both, but i learned from both experiences. now, they would have to plant evidence on me for an arrest. if i only did not have to piss in a cup...

I live in Colorado where cannabis is close to legal. The amounts any 21yr old is allowed to grow and carry around is enough for almost any person.

I strongly recommend moving, if cannabis is part of your life. Bring a job or employable skill with you, the locals will appreciate it.

I did that but not only because the country I live in now weed is legal but also because it fits my lifestyle and I have (legal) opportunities ( except weed ) to satisfy my career goals.

been to allot of nice places... Hawaii, all states on the west coast and all the states on the east coast, all states along the north and south borders..and Alaska .. central US... haven't been... England, Italy (I might like Italy but do not speak Italian), Tunisia, Morocco, Thailand, SE Asia (VN), Costa Rica, Mexico, Canada, France, probably more I've forgotten.. Nowhere is as good as, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, Florida. a little short on the MMJ laws but I'll stay here. Don't think any state treats vets better.. but I hear I can get my VA health care in Italy now..

3 times a no.

Fuck em. I've managed for long enough with it illegal, and I'll stop growing when they have to plant me and not before.

Yes, I did 11 years ago, freedom and quality of life is more important than anything and adventures are what makes you

^^ I'm curious why you left..was it cannabis? Health reasons for you or a family member or just the political/legal nature?
