In university my pals and I dreamed about moving to a state out west where medical cannabis happened to be legal.
Since we live in the Southeast, we didn’t suppose that medical marijuana would be legal in this state for at least another 10 years or so.
When the ballot initiative received over 70% approval while in the election, I was glad about that. At last our state was choosing to legalize cannabis, even if it was merely for medical reasons. However, I didn’t realize that it would cost a great deal of cash every year between the doctor and state certification fees, however at least I can actually purchase and possess my number one plant. The first dispensaries were only allowed to sell cannabis oil, capsules, tinctures, and vape cartridge products. The state legislature would not allow the dispensaries to sell whole flower medical marijuana, despite that being the most preferred form of the plant across the board. We had to fight the state for numerous years before the laws were changed and cannabis flower products could finally be obtained and sold in state marijuana stores. Worst of all, they forced cannabis stores to put the flower buds in these ceramic cups with machine-stamped lids that forced you to break the glass to actually pull the weed out. The basic idea was to force patients to use these pods with a Volcano vaporizer, however they were packed so tightly they weren’t efficient for that sort of use. If you were looking for cannabis flower products, you either had to be a magician with hand tools or easily risk getting microscopic shards of glass in your lungs.
