I lived in So. GA for 15 years. Then on to Vegas, and landing here in the bay area.
There's beauty everywhere...it's just the people you know and the places you go. I have lived in the same place twice. Hated it the first time. Met new people and went to new places the second time, and it wasn't so bad.
I loved the south, and i love northern california. being in a no tolerance state sucks, and I know that california to many seems ideal. every place has its warts.
I love legalized MMJ. But there are lots of trade-offs for that priviledge. For me, it's trying to live in a very expensive place and trying to keep pace with the high cost of everything here. (FYI - 4.69 a gallon at the Shell down the street. Kick myself in the butt for buying that dam SUV.)
If someone can't move to a state with legalized MMJ, then the only thing we can do is start in our own household and spread out from there. Many people are not registered to vote. And with the stigma associated with marijuana in many communities, it is sometimes hard to even talk to anyone who feels the same way without fear of some sort of retribution, be it small-town gossip, overzealous do-gooders who just think they have to tell someone some good dirt, or even more serious things. Living in Savannah, I lived two different lives unfortunately. I could have never imagined talking to any "old family" co-workers about marijuana. So it stayed in my small circle of smoking friends.
But voting, writing e-mails, sending letters, and keeping abreast of current issues in the legalization of marijuana are the key to action. You don't have to look hard in this forum to find plenty of people that you could drop a line to.
Being informed creates action.
It starts with one voice...
Peace and legalized marijuana for all
