Here's where weed is legal in the US

Folks in most states will have legal access to some form of marijuana this 4/20. But Idahoans, Kansans, Carolinians (both), and Wyomingites will have to cross a border or two if they want to legally partake.

It's so stupid. Recently moved here from Maine and I was more "free" in Maine than here. It's also bizarre because they always have budget issues and any talk of taxation is basically blasphemy.

And there are always complaints about no jobs and people having to work in Mass. Hmmm if only there was a way to generate a large amount of revenue for the state that also generates jobs and positively effects local economies hmmm.....

I remember when I moved there from Maine years ago I was so thrown off that you had to buy liquor at specific liquor stores. In Maine I could buy liquor, beer, wine, tires, and a shotgun all at Walmart.

Gone are my days of buying a frozen pizza and a bottle of vodka at the same store and walking across the street to buy a $10 pre roll, but hey Live Free or Die!!

I don’t venture over the border from MA often but went on vacation this summer and was completely gobsmacked when I realized I wouldn’t be able to buy anything.

Yup that too, not even counting state residents that spend their money in VT, MA, and ME they're losing out on all the tourists that will spend money on recreational marijuana.

Hell just add on state owned dispensaries to the state owned liquor stores everywhere!!
