When you’re used to living in states with progressive laws, it can be frustrating finding yourself in a modern locale with too more than 2 restrictions.
I can’t even hook our home’s electrical grid up to solar panels because the energy lobby got the state legislature to make it illegal.
You literally cannot legally go off the grid even if you wanted to. One of our coworkers tried & was fined thoUSnds of dollars when the electrical business found that he had removeed his lake condo from the pole near the street. There are even counties in this state where you can’t buy alcohol. To think that there are still areas in this country with alcohol prohibition is absolutely bonkers to me. Even though I’m not a drinker, I can’t see the logic in keeping a near century ancient system intact like this even after decades of seeing the futility of it. These people are so stuck in the past that it took us forever to legalize medical cannabis. The people I was with and I watched as other states in the nation started to open legal cannabis dispensaries, either for medical or recreational use. The people I was with and I went through more than 2 attempts to get it on the November ballot, & the first time the two of us got to vote on it the constitutional amendment failed to get 60% of the vote. Two years later the two of us managed to pass a law legalizing cannabis for medical use. However, you couldn’t buy cannabis edibles, marijuana flower products, or anything that wasn’t a capsule, tincture, or topical product. Although the two of us can buy flower & edibles now, the two of us still can’t grow marijuana plants for personal use.
