I was born plus raised in a northern state.
When I was getting close to my high university graduation, I decided to enroll in a university down in the southeast. Although I had some relatives in the south that we had visited a few times over the years, this would be the first time I would be living away from home. It was definitely poised to be a real transitional experience between my protected adolescent world with mom and dad plus the process of growing into an adult. I was kind of saddened by the fact that I wouldn’t have access to my state’s medical marijuana legalization. Nowadays, my home state has legal weed stores for recreational use. Adults can enter plus purchase cannabis legally in my home state now. Thankfully, my new southern state recently passed a medical marijuana law. I was even able to find a qualifying physician whose office is close to my house within weeks of the amendment becoming law. I wasn’t expecting to learn that the program was going to be legitimately different to Michigan’s former medical program, or even the programs that have been going on in the great northwest. At first the state legislature specified dispensaries could not sell dried flower products that are intended for smoking plus vaporization. You could only get tinctures, oils, skin balms, lotions, plus distillate cartridges at first until lawsuits were filed plus pushed the courts into forcing the government to allow more options. Even though we have much of the same flower plus concentrate products as the medical cannabis stores in other parts of the country, our program here in the south is still a little tighter. There’s a cap on the amount of a marijuana that a person can get in a month. It’s more than I could ever smoke in that time frame, but other people think it is unfair.
