Sea you are quite lucky that you were not pulled over, especially in Whittier. I am 100% certain had I been in that scenario I would have been pulled over. I do know CHP has actually been instructed not to bust people with Cannabis on hand, at least those with valid recommendations. But I am also aware that depending on the municipality the cops may be more or less lenient.

You are also very fortunate that you are in a medical state. There are lots of states that have no medical laws and the cops are quite intent on wiping the "marijuana scourge" from their home. So remember you are truly blessed and lucky and many more of us out there are not in the kind of situation you have been fortunate enough to find yourself in.

Cali has a high cost of living though.
Im watching the Arkansas MMJ initiative and hoping it passes this time
in a couple years more than half the states will be atleast medicly legal i think

What state do you want to pass MMJ ?

The cost of living in Ca is definitely on the high end, but there are more expensive places to live. If cost of living is what you are concerned about why not move to Montana. Cost of living is very low and they are a medical state. There are other places to live that have medical marijuana laws and are less expensive than Ca.

I am not hoping for any state to pass medical Cannabis laws, I want the whole country to instate medical laws.

Montana? Way too cold for me thanks!
I have some family in Ark.
I'm probably stuck in Cali for a while though

Yeah, I think we can all agree the Schedule 1 thing need to be fixed.
...and is really stupid too.

There is always New Mexico.

Just found this map. Keep your eyes on these states.

It was not medical back then, this was in the mid-late 80s. I'm getting the idea you're familiar with Whittier. :p

I count my blessings every day, but that doesn't mean I count ON them, ya dig? That's why I got vocal as hell when our county moved to remove our right to cultivate at home, and I'm staying vocal.

Yes it is. I just thought the one I posted was interesting more than anything. Intriguing to see their opinion of where it will soon be legal.

You'll notice the "soon-to-be" states still follow the same trend.

Many of those marked soon to be are actually now medical (Illinois and New York for instance)--but the trend still holds.

If your state is not marked medically legal, or soon to be legal--you have a 0% chance of having a highest paid state employee who is anything but a collegiate sports coach.

But Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington all have a sport coach as the highest paid public employee. That map was a real eye opener though.

Yes, but I'll be willing to bet you that these states will change that paradigm before the non-MJ states do. It's not a 100% predictive map, but it's one of those things that makes you just go "Yep. *shrug*" when you look at it.
