Reply to comment by vwboyaf1 in moving to a rec cannabis state by ShamanLifestyle

I really appreciate the details you've provided. Are there any areas you recommend to look at in particular?

I'm a bit against moving to a state primarily for weed access, because I've seen what usually happens to those families time and time again out here in CO. They usually show up with no job and no plan, but end up just smoking weed all day until they are evicted. I've gone through 3 neighbors in 5 years that way. They always end up moving back to Texas (because illegal weed was cheaper anyway).

I'm not saying you are this way, but if I were you, I'd spend my time and money learning a real skill at a trade school, and find the best place to live based on that. I would never base major life decisions on where I could legally get fucked up, and neither should you.

For context, I'm a physically disabled vet and a househusband. it's not about me getting fucked up I just want to be in a legal state where if my wife wants to smoke without being prosecuted for it she can.

Ok that's fine, but it doesn't really change anything. What skills is your wife bringing to the state? What does she do now? Is she ok with all the things I talked about above? Why isn't she the one asking these questions?

She's a warehouse and shipping specialist. She doesn't have a reddit account. We're fine with the info we know she's going to need a job before we move to wherever. I do have income on my end that's more than sufficient to live on for a few months if I were to just pack and move, if she couldn't find work immediately.

She could easily find a job at C&S then. They are always looking for people like her.

We're only on here to gather information about states; possibly hear about cities or towns we've never heard of before.

I would also recommend comparing state benefits for disabled vets. Some places have huge tax breaks and free vehicle registration if you are over 50%. I only get 10% due to insomnia, but I still like the support infrastructure for vets out here in Colorado.

See we wanted to move to CO but we're so worried about the hype around Yellowstone. It's like is it volcano is it not a volcano. If it blows do we want to risk being near the blast zone or debris field? Would there be time to evacuate? Just stuff like that, we've also heard it's hard to find places that aren't riddled with meth users.
