many from Wisconsin will be vacationing in one of our more enlightened neighboring states.

you are.

As I'm getting older, it's harder to find a "street" connection, and it's pretty great to just walk into a store and SHOP for weed and edibles, LOL. The hard-to-open packaging sucks hard, tho.

Now I have the clerks open them for me before I leave and sometimes they can't even get them open. I buy vape cartridges and each container is different. I could not open "brass knuckles" so I whacked it with a hammer in the side. Well, it hit the case, flew against the wall, opened and broke the gooey cartridge...yuk! I took it all back to the dispensary and they replaced it for free since I am a regular customer. This Jan. 1st CA taxes increased (state, county and city) 20% making the total tax now 50%!!!!! People are going back to buying it on the street since they can't afford the taxes. I wish I had my old connections!

the packaging, my “kit” now includes a really small pair of scissors to open stuff with.

..our shops cant open any packages for us ( believe me I asked!) so when I managed to open one (without stabbing it) I took the packaging to the store so they could have a model to show people how to open it.

Actually I wonder if those packages need to be ADA compliant. I mean I have my med card for arthritis so the packaging is actually preventing me from easily getting my meds. Even pills have child proof caps that can turned over and disabled for us adults.

and have to ask for assistance from other staffers. They all agree that it isn't necessary. After going through 30+ min of trying to get one open I REALLY need the calming effects....maybe that is the trick, they sell more that way.

We live in northern California and Arizona, so we've been legal for years now (with medical cards prior to recreational legalization and reciprocity in AZ). Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. Sometimes things work out like they should.

My first bong hit tonight honors Illinois.

..my friend and I went together and as we left the shop..bag in hand.. a cop drives by. My friend quickly stashes it in her coat then says OH YEAH!!

Congress really needs to pass legislation to remove marijuana (cannabis) from Schedule I. Better yet remove entirely from CDS list.. Big Pharma, of course, will have a cow. FUCK EM!!!!
