    Don't be hatin' on a necro post you puritanical natterers.

    A recent trip had me going from a medical marijuana state (GA) to a legalized state (MI) and then to a Federally illegal but decriminalized district (DC). In Georgia I noticed no difference in how things used to be and how they are now based on medical marijuana. In Michigan, where I grew up, there are pot stores everywhere with advertisements galore and obviously smelling it while walking down some city streets. In DC I didn't notice pot at all or any more than I normally would I think.

    So my question is does anyone who lives in a decriminalized state notice marijuana becoming more prevalent in every day life?

    FWIW I haven't looked into any research about what decrimininalization vs legalization vs status quo has done societally.

    I always appreciate a good necro. Why not revisit the good ones?

    Exactly. And maybe even an old poster will get an email and they'll think to themselves, "Hey, I wonder..."

    To answer your question, weed isn't legal here and hasn't been that I am aware of at any point during my lifetime. I understand the cowboys n indians of yore had their own habits

    Nobody cares, as far as I can tell. Those that smoke it, smoke it and don't care about the law. Those who are supposed to enforce the law don't bother unless it is a convenient or additional charge. People got more important things to do.

    On the other hand, don't get caught dealing in this state. It's frowned upon with more than a wrist slap.

No more so than someone who enjoyed having some beers here and there. A million studies later and they overwhelmingly point to cigarettes and alcohol being much worse for you than marijuana.

    And I'd be wrong if I didn't add that those Krispy Kremes and Domino's pizzas taste SO much better when stoned!!

    All you have to do is look at the news here in South Texas. All those illegal immigrants getting through? Guns and weed come in lots smaller packages.

    The stuff you get in a dispensary doesn't have fentanyl in it.

    Speaking of dispensaries, have you driven through Oklahoma lately. Even on the two lane blacktops, there are towns with a post office, a gas station and weed dispensary and that's about it.

    I've tried smoking the CBD on a recommendation and I thought it sucked, useless. I also did smoke a a good THC joint before that was the size of a telephone pole! LOL Guy just kept passing and passing. Reminds me of this, which is hilarious!!:

    Fully legal here in NY now and one can smoke anywhere a person smokes a cigarette. Except driving of course. No stores/dispensaries yet though, but hasn't appeared to slow sales. It's definitely more prevalent and you can smell it everywhere in NYC, but not as much so around my area.

    Been also to other states where legal - Vegas, Seattle, Alaska - and also by me NJ and CT as well.

    Fu**ers want like $600 for an ounce and $300 a half, whereas in NY it's like $240-$300 tops for an ounce. I only know that as I accidentally walked into dispensaries in both places thinking it was a CVS.

    An aside, not everyone is getting "high" and turning into crazed zombies who commit crimes. Some use it for their pain. Some use it for debilitating diseases. And even some others just use it as an anxiety reliever as opposed to chemicals from a doctor.

    So I have heard anyway.
