Anyone else in California as ticked off as I am over marijuana legalization?

Since legalization of marijuana in California...it's become nearly impossible to find it within 20 miles of my home. All the dispensaries in this area have been raided and closed down. As a result, even if you are willing to drive 20 miles, it is now more expensive. Unavailable...or far away and expensive.

I'm old, arthritic, and, as a medical marijuana patient, I was able to avoid taking a lot of ibuprofen and other pain meds. Now I am wondering how far I am willing to drive for it. I'm thinking about it. I just took a couple of Tylenol....

@SW-User I, and my swollen arthritic joints are much happier when I can get pot.

@SW-User Maybe she's using cannabis with high CBD'S and no/low THC. A lot of medicinal patients do. It's what they give children. There's no 'high.' And sober is for alcoholics. Cannabis isn't addictive.

@Ynotisay I do use the kind with a strong CBD content, but I like the relaxing high, too. Everything in moderation. It helps me relax, avoid too much anxiety, keep my blood pressure down and sleep better. I'm an old lady. I don't drive around high. I'm a decent citizen and a quiet neighbor. I did not use marijuana during my career days. I'm enjoying my retirement now and it helps.

I'm glad you're seeing some benefits. Hopefully, accessibility will start getting a little easier for you.
