I've been thinking about coming to Cali, possibly just for a few months or possibly forever. I just want to get out of here.
I was wondering if there is anyone here who was like me and moved to Cali. Share some experiences if you can. Or even if you are just like me and are dreaming about moving, go ahead and put your plan on paper.
I've never lived in a big city, but I wouldn't mind living in the bush in norcal either.
I'm dreaming about moving, yes. Not sure if I will end up moving to Cali, but it doesn't sounds too ridiculous considering that I have friends down in the Carlsbad/Bay Area.
I have goals that won't see their share of sunlight if I don't move sometime within the next year. I have a steady job, a somewhat stable group of party friends. I'm willing to give up what I have here in order to take a risk and set some of my goals into motion.
If moving is a dream you have, I just want to ask if you have a plan, do you have contacts, or is this going to be a fresh start? Either way, it will be fun and will be an experience that can be one of the best you've had.
Be safe, think things over, and HAVE FUN. I think moving to Cali for the Medical laws is reason enough, but for me it's not =)
It's illegal, and we smoke that stuff. Oh yes, that's never going to change.
Posivibes, man.
Damn Johnny, this comes at a time when I visited California. I was there for the weekend to toss my dad's ashes and visit family. Needless to say I'm seriously considering moving to California since the majority of my family is there anyway and cannabis runs in the family tree. I found out when my father first caught me toking, he smoked my damn stash! Bastard!
Anyway, just being a weekend in California mellowed me out so much, californicated I like to call it. Part of the reason is because my family is so cool. The rest is because people in general are just more chill, even the uptight ones. Plus I smoke cannabis all the time and the attitude, at least where I was, in Oakland, was so laid-back we were just sitting there smoking in the street with people passing it by.
I just want to be apart of the mellowness and have less stress in general, be around good weather all the time, be close to my family which I have so much in common with. I have the opportunity because my cousin lives in the middle of Oakland and has invited me to come and live there. I have an opportunity put out for me on a platter.
Being from the east side, going to California and experiencing for me is like a dream. Part of me wants it to remain that, California as merely an escape, I'm sure it's very different if I actually lived there. But every time I go to California, I come back feeling much better.
yeah i wanna get to cali too. i live in new york love it here but my heart is in san diego haha maybe one day!
Cali is expensive as shit man, get reay for that, other than that its cool, I miss the beach mostly no surf here, I miss taken a 5 minut walk and jumpin in the water then walkin back, miss the mass selection of herb too, right now its chosing the bottom of the barrel guy or shwag.
im in socal but i have loads of family in norcal, its ok here i guess. whats his face is right things are expensive here but then again its probably expensive everywhere. its starting to warm up here spring is coming.
California is crazy expensive, and rapidly getting worse ... there are NO jobs, the Liberals have driven big business out of the state, due to ridiculous regulations, and taxes ... CA is bankrupt, and just raised our taxes to the nation's highest ... in August, my van's license registration will be due, and will run about $700+ ... for one year ! :wtf: ... I will join the other emigrants, and leave the state, when it comes due ... besides, even the weather here sucks lately ... I've been here 27 years, and I've just about had enough of the nonsense ... :mad: ...
oh yeah, you can smoke pot (big fucking deal) :wtf:
I moved to southern cal when I was 19 with a buddy from high school and loved it! My buddy would mostly just get a job long eneogh to get a paycheck and then get a bag and quit. :stoned: but at least we always had good smoke and the party was always at our place. :jointsmile: I ended up staying there for years to graduate college and shit. UC's and state colleges there are great.Quote:

$700 for reg fee's!! that is insane. :wtf: indeed.Quote:

You'll make new friends no problem and family will always be around if you make the effort. And my plan was just to go. No contacts. No nothing. Just like they used to do it in the old days.
thcbongman - Sounds like you have the best family ever. I'm jealous man almost my entire family is anti-marijuana with the exception of a few cousins. I would jump at an opportunity like yours man, go live with family, work a little job or the family business, just chill out and live life easily. A life without all these frills would be so nice. I'd rather spend my nights watching the sun go down and talking the night away.
image - You seem a little jaded my friend. I hear you on the car insurance though, up here in Manitoba we have public insurance. I pay about $1200 a year to insure my truck. So I'm used to expensive. Plus its good that it's expensive, that means only people that really want to live there actually stay. The middle of the country is for people who gave up on their dreams.
