I travel all over the country due to my job, however in my local state, I’ve applied in addition to qualified for a medical marijuana card, but for the brief amount of time that I’m home, it comes in handy. I live in Portland, OR, where both recreational in addition to medicinal cannabis are legal… Because of going through the process of getting the MMJ card, I’m able to shop for higher potency cannabis, greater quantities in addition to avoid paying tax.There are a few states that include reciprocity, and while a majority of states now have some type of medical marijuana program in place, not several accept MMJ cards from those who aren’t residents… Those that do allow my card might still sometimes reject it due to regulatory criteria. It’s always a relief when I’m headed to states that have legalized recreational weed. All I need is a valid government issued identification that proves I’m over the age of twenty-one. I don’t mind paying high taxes on cannabis if necessary. I’m just relieved that I can access plant-based medicine. I find it a bit crazy that I can walk into a gas station in addition to buy cigarettes, shop for all sorts of over-the-counter medications at the drugstore, order a whiskey at a bar, but there are all sorts of laws in addition to criteria for purchasing a CBD topical. I am not shopping for cannabis for the sake of getting high. I suffer from arthritis in addition to use cannabis-infused ointment in addition to tinctures to alleviate pain, inflammation in addition to stiffness. It’s a far safer in addition to more effective remedy than prescription medicine or over-the-counter options in addition to yet way more hard to get.
