Looking to move West USA, min 3-4 months

I decided to move across country, need to get out of where I live for a while and just live. Coming from the mid-west. Here are the criteria.

Needs to be a state where medical MJ is legal and perscribed, I could go on it.

I want to go to school to become a zooligist, ie, zoo keeper, I have breed wild fish to sell before and am growing and selling rare salt water corals recently (there's a whole big side business with growing rare expensive corals know it or not, just have to know your stuff), so I am into nature and animals. Soooo, a college has to be within decent driving distance.

I'd like to grow, so someplace out of base would be great, but I will be able to grow small amount legally anyway.

Where would you move? Anybody got the hookup for me? I will be taking in about 6-10K in about 4 months to move with, oh and I'm 21.

eugene oregon

Pullman, Washington. MMJ is legal and you could go to WSU.

Oregon, Washington, and Montana all have MMJ, and are preferrable over california if you're into nature. If you come to Montana, move to Missoula, it's a little pot-friendly college town oasis in Western Montana. No shortage of quality ganja and the UofM has a pretty good zoology dept as I recall (I was a business major, across campus).

I guess moving to Montana from the midwest will be less of a culture shock to you. Those minorities and fruits live on the west coast. Beware!!!!

Wow, I sense a biggot in the room... People in the west just think more freely, thats all man. Montana is nice. Oregon is way better from what I have heard. I have a buddy from Oregon (Southwest) and he says that Ashland, Eugene, Corvallis are all great towns. MMJ, shrooms to pick on the coast, beauty abound. Move to Oregon...

What good schools are in that area? (Oregon)

Ducks. *Flahes O sign* Shit, Ashland's way chill...community college though. SOU.

SOU is a 4 year, I almost went there for Geology...

Well that's strange...I must have missed all the news reports about the forced migration of all the gay people in New York, the 60% of Washington DC that's black, and the Cubans in Florida. It's funny the kinds of stories that fall through the cracks because of all the more important issues to discuss like singers touching little boys and whether we should continue futile medical treatments on brain dead people.

Hah. I guess its harder to get a joke across over the internet. I'm actually not white, and I happen to be a gay male who on occasion enjoys putting on women's clothes. In fact, because I'm Indian ("brown-skinned") and my name is Mohammed, I get a lot of crap at airports. Does anyone know what its like when a security person at an airport asks if you are muslim? (I'm an atheist who was raised muslim) How many people here know whats its like to lie everytime you donate blood because practicing homosexuals are barred from giving blood?

I made that comment because I've lived in California for four years, and the amount of jokes white people make dealing with the number of Asians living on the West Coast (especially the bay area in SF) is ridiculous, and no offense to any of the white people here, but I know for a fact that a lot of people who move from the midwest or the South are taken aback by the number of minorities living there. Thats it. :)

-laughs- I read this as sarcasm. Coming from a gay black man living on the west coast, playfully mocking the jaded culture of the mid-west and the sound. But, reading it the way you guys have read it, I suppose it is more likely to have come from some stupid racist and homophobic 50 year old bald man

Damnit, I was minutes too late at posting that. I posted that before I read what he said. So I was close!

OSU has a vet school, so lots of zoology here.

Oregon, They have some heavy hitting weed sativa with all that moisture out there.

Veterinary medicine and zoology are not the same thing. Have you considered Colorado? If you want nature and outdoor recreation this is the place. As for zoology both Colorado State and University of Colorado offer degrees. We have medical Marijuana and even if you don't get a script having and .oz or less is a petty offence with a maximum fine of $100. Hell there's a good chance in a little while here, having an .oz or less will be legal in Denver if you're 21. Here's a link for zoology schools and the medical marijuana law is as follows:

Colorado
SUMMARY: Fifty-four percent of voters approved Amendment 20 on November 7, 2000, which amends the stateâ??s constitution to recognize the medical use of marijuana. The law took effect on June 1, 2001. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and advising that they "might benefit from the medical use of marijuana." (Patients must possess this documentation prior to an arrest.) Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; chronic nervous system disorders; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV or AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity ; and nausea . Other conditions are subject to approval by the Colorado Board of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess no more than two ounces of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than six marijuana plants. The law establishes a confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients. Patients who do not join the registry or possess greater amounts of marijuana than allowed by law may argue the "affirmative defense of medical necessity" if they are arrested on marijuana charges. To date, approximately 700 cards have been issues to registered patients.

basically, i love colorado

you might also like northern california. southern california and northern california are like two separate states to me, and personally, i prefer norcal. not all of california is like san francisco or los angeles :D with that being said, oregon and washington are also great places to live (if you dont mind lots of rain)

california weed is legal for medicinal, and thats as west as you can get ;)

Move out here to California. Best weed, best weather, best women...

I'm aware of this. I was just saying that with vet students comes an interest in zoology. Schools cater to all sorts, and there have been a number of classes added do to the vet students.

Oh, dude, no question.

ASHLAND, OREGON!

My brother lives there, going to college. It's a college town, (you know, centering around a college) and everyone is either a hippy or a hot chick. The whole place is on one big hill, so you can live at the top, and just coast a bike all the way down to the BEST skatepark I've ever been to at the bottom. There's a great selection of stores, freaking everything. There's like 5 music stores, a bunch of nightclubs and cafes, some of the best food, and this building that looks like the Alamo.

Oh, don't forget snowboarding, rockclimbing, skateboarding, and whitewater rafting all within 20 miles.

Seriously, best town ever.

Oregon
cali is too expensive

no to tax in oregon, i'm pretty sure theres legal med. marijuana also
