When you’re used to living in states with progressive laws, it can be frustrating finding yourself in a current arena with too several 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 supplier found that she had removeed her condo from the pole near the street. There are even counties in this state where you can’t buy alcohol. To suppose that there are still areas in this country with alcohol prohibition is legitimately bonkers to me. Even though I’m not a drinker, I can’t see the logic in keeping a near century seasoned method 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. We watched as other states in the nation started to open legal cannabis dispensaries, either for medical or recreational use. We went through several attempts to get it on the November ballot, and the first time the people I was with and I got to vote on it the constitutional amendment failed to get 60% of the vote. Two years later the people I was with and I 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 people I was with and I can buy flower and edibles now, the people I was with and I still can’t grow marijuana plants for personal use.
