but california is only one of 10 or 11 states with legal med use (depending on how you look at arizona's law). montana, maine, colorado, az, nevada and oregon are all what i'd consider low cost of living states ( i leave out the others only because i've never been there and don't know much about them). and judging from those i've met at meetings and dr's offices who are licensed, none are what i'd consider hippies. most are 'regular' folks and most work full time. one is even a fire fighter and another a county employee! then there's a few that are pretty fucked up from various accidents and/or other physical probs...but i'm the only longhair i know of in the southern nevada cannabis for medicine chapter of over 120 people that has received a license to grow/use/possess (and i'm no damn hippy either...lol).
