Moving to California for Medical Marijuana
Well, after long discussion, some tears, and some laughs - my wife and I have decided to move to California for medical marijuana and will use this site to tell the story both in text and pictures.
This decision will take some sacrifice, and we will leave behind family and friends - but in the end it will be worth it as my daily life, peace of mind, and happiness will be that much greater in a state where I can use medical marijuana safely, without having to turn to the black market. If that means moving to another state, then so be it.
My plan is to sell our home, move to California, get medical marijuana cards, grow pot legally within state law, and possibly even become a caregiver for patients. Although the latter may demand more than I can perform, I still would like to help patients in some way or another.
So anyway, I barely slept on this decision, and it is a big choice to make, but I feel it is right and will be the best thing for my family. I am going to move to California, get my medical marijuana patient card, and I will tell the story on this site. Not only for myself, but to show others it is in fact possible to move from a place where pot is minimum mandatory sentencing to a place where marijuana was decriminalized in 1976, and it is true that in California, you can grow, smoke, and process your own cannabis legally for medical purposes.
