When you’re used to living in states with progressive laws, it can be frustrating finding yourself in a new location with too multiple 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 and was fined thoUnited Statesnds of dollars when the electrical company found that he had detached his house from the pole near the street. There are even counties in this state where you can’t buy alcohol. To guess that there are still areas in this country with alcohol prohibition is really bonkers to me. Even though I’m not a drinker, I can’t see the logic in keeping a near century old system intact love 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. All of us watched as other states in the nation started to open legal cannabis dispensaries, either for medical or recreational use. All of us went through more than two attempts to get it on the September ballot, and the first time we got to vote on it the constitutional amendment failed to get 60% of the vote. Two years later we 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 we can buy flower and edibles now, we still can’t grow marijuana plants for personal use.
