So, the state of Maine passed it's marijuana bill, making possession of up to 2oz and 5 plants legal. It's been medically available for a while now, anyways, so it's not gonna be a massive culture shock. People here smoke a lot of pot, lol. I've got my medical card, and the people at the dispensary are very knowledgeable. I get an alcohol based tincture that I mix with soda water. Takes about an hour to kick in, and it is blissful. It's a low-THC strain, so it induces a very mild "high", and it unwinds your body better than any pill can. No paranoia or racing thoughts, just a mild euphoria and contentment. Having taken all sorts of painkillers and muscle relaxers for my back, cannabis is far superior. It's been a revelation. I never smoked it much, cuz I hated the paranoia and sluggishness, but the medical stuff, under good guidance is fooking incredible!
