Because it is good here! Even in this "arm-pit" of an area! Mendo and Humbolt are much nicer, but the kids here NEED me (I am a teacher's aide/tutor). So here I'll stay. The cops are "rather corrupt", so I still act like I'm illegal. One of these days, it will be better here, but until then, I'll just keep my head low.

OK- I have a legit medical problem relating to a head trauma, but I would be smoking pot no matter what. At 19, I found pot helped a lot with the migraines! But it is my experience that most of us have some problem that pot helps.

So why should other people suffer (pain or imprisonment) when moving would take care of their problem? I look at it like severe allergies. If you were severely allergic to a pollen found in your area, it would make sense to move! Same way with laws- I'm "allergic" to prohibitionist laws! Come to Cali, get "legal", and look at the Cali forum and dispensaries as "happy hunting grounds" for friends and lovers. - Granny:hippy:
