Minnesotans are now able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter. It became official Tuesday.
Here I am in Iowa, just surrounded by states that have legalized… like being in a dry county, whatever am I to do? 😏
You think it’s weird in Iowa? Try Wisconsin! Literally every state it touches now has legal weed except for the tiny bit of Iowa we touch in the corner. Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan. All now have legal weed. But I still see the news reports in Wisconsin about “criminals” being caught with weed. It’s insane.
I still got a petty weed charge from 11yrs ago when i was a teen in wisconsin, that place will never change
I thought Missouri would never but I was surprised. Hopefully Wisconsin too!!
Yeah, its frustrating here sometimes. At least I’m a short drive from one of those bordering states…

Yes! Like I guess I could just give all this money to Illinois and improve their economy…
Hope for wind?
Well DEFINITELY don’t you dare drive to one of those said states to aquire any marijuana. That would be exceedingly naughty.
Right? Something a law abiding citizen of a pot-free state would never do!
The problem is that if you get caught you can be charged a federal crime instead of with a state crime.
Federal crimes include mandatory minimum sentences/jail time in addition to fines.
Believe me, I have thought about making the trip elsewhere since my state will be the last to ever legalize. The closest legal place is 2.5 hours from my house.
Me getting caught would screw up multiple lives including my own, however. Instead, I have to settle for the poor man’s stuff (delta8, delta9, etc) and only get the real stuff when I travel. The poor man’s stuff helps a medical condition I have, but is nothing like the real thing.

Out of the legally grey hemp bill products I’ve tried, I think hhc is my fav.
I’ve had good results, but it’s really come down to finding a reliable place to buy and a good brand. Personally have been using Mellow Fellow’s carts, and they’ve been the best I’ve had outside of actual weed.
Flower has been harder, admittedly. Knew of one place that had really quality stuff, but they’re pretty much going out of business now and there’s currently no news about what’s being done with their farm.
Which Mellow Fellow’s products have you enjoyed? Readying my first order…
I’ve tried all of their 4Mg dual-packs. The Picasso and Euphoria stuff. All of them are great combinations, either for swapping off mid session, or if you’re getting burnt out on the one you have running.
That will last me ~3 weeks, give or take a couple days.
I cant even get out of my state in 2.5 hours. Not sure how long I’d have to drive to get some legal weed.
Ah, I see you live in Texas.
That’s why you never commit more than 1 crime at a time.
Yeah, I get that. It’s a shame we can’t get it Federally legalized.
We should legalize it federally and then only allow commercial growing in the states that have already legalized it. Dont let them boost their tax haul for something they decided they didnt like.
You can buy in Illinois even with out of state ID apparently.
Yes, about half as much as in-state license holders can.
I heard huffing road salt can give you a pretty good high and there should be no shortage of it around Iowa. Also, boofing freshly shucked corn is supposed to induce quite the euphoric experience. You’re not completely out of options in rural Iowa.

Well now i’m thinking I didn’t give Iowa enough of a chance.
This ancient Iowan practice is actually the origin of the game “corn hole.” Back in the day people used to compete to see who could get the most cobs down their friend’s hole. Whoever got the most won that year’s prized dairy cow.
You’re supposed to shuck it??
Don’t worry Kim Reynolds will keep Iowa safe from the dangers of addiction and scary gateway drugs.
Funny considering the woman is an alcoholic drunk driver.
Even the medical ones for cataracts and arthritis are out. In Iowa, you can only have pot if you currently have cancer and/or are dying. That’s not completely true, but it is only for the most extreme medical conditions.
I think the way the laws are written, you are correct. But you can get a med card easily according to the people I’ve spoken to at bud an Mary’s.
How do think I feel in Wisconsin?

How many grams of concentrate can you have at home? Seems weird that the limit would be 8g walking around and in your house.
First the cops all leave the Twin Cities and now this! Things looking up for Minnesota
Just in time for my trip to Minnesota!
Just got back from Minnesota but I’m in Illinois so I just smuggled my own medical stuff across state lines, through Iowa and Wisconsin. Next time I’ll be able to buy some there and not have to worry about federal prison over a plant 😎
There’s only one legal shop up and running right now, way up north on the red lake rez. By all means stop in if you can, but if your elsewhere you’ll be sol
Anyone else reading this in the voice of Will Sasso doing Jessue Ventura?
"I’ve got 1000 gallons of fresh water and a silo filled with Tacos’
“have up to 2 lbs of flower at home”
Minnesota should rightfully take New Hampshire’s Live Free or Die motto. What a joke. It should be:
Live Free Except for a Plant We Purposely Labeled a Schedule One Drug Because of Black People, Latinos, and an Ancient White Guy Who Was Scared that His Paper Mills Would be Worthless with the Invention of a Faster Hemp Cultivator.

Hey! Your stealing our illinois tax revenue. Man its a good thing we got the border states that we do. Stop those dummcrats wis, ind, iowa, misura, tennese, arkansaw or this horrible nightmare will happen to you!!!
deleted by creator
I think he forgot the /s
boy if I ever thought I did not need it. Im sorta jelly though as they are mostly about grow whereas illinois is all about tax and does not allow grow.
Dude, can you please use proper punctuation and grammar? Your comments are difficult to understand.
What a shame, can’t believe a drug is now legal
Yeah remember when alcohol was legal? Wait. It is.
And so much more dangerous than weed.
Yea that’s another problem it should be illegal. Things that impair your judgement in an objectively negative and harmful way to you and others should be illegal
I’m so glad idiots like you aren’t in charge of policy in Minnesota.
Democracy is the ability to vote for the person you dislike the most
Since weed is significantly less dangerous than tabacco or alcohol, I assume you’re for a complete ban on both of them as well?
Is it just me or does Lemmy have a particularly hard time detecting sarcasm?
I’ve heard that statement nearly verbatim from people who were entirely serious - and judging from my upvote count (and the original comment downvotes), several others thought you were serious as well.
Edit - Wait, I thought you were the creator of the original comment - you aren’t. There’s still a very good chance this isn’t sarcasm.
I’m fully serious. The reddit weed smoker losers moved over. Fucking hate drug addicts
Lmao
