      They mention cost of living a lot in the article. They also point out that there’s way lower drug use. On top of cost of living I bet a lot of people are getting their escapism from games and Internet instead.

          An ounce of weed is like $50 these days, a fraction of when I was a teenager. Just blaze.

              Weed is cheap as hell in Michigan. I wish it was true in Illinois. I’m in Indiana, where it’s illegal, but getting weed from Illinois is a 30-minute drive. However, it’s much more expensive and you’re limited to 14 grams as a non-state resident. Getting weed from Michigan is much, much cheaper and there’s no limit, but it is a 5-hour drive through Indiana for me and I’m not driving that far back through Indiana with a shit ton of weed in my car.

                  I buy online too. And then I drive to the dispensary in Illinois and pick it up. How do they get it to you if you’re in a state where it’s not legal?

                    I buy via https://stnrcreations.com/ Get them delivered straight to my house. Delta 8 is federally legal, so that’s what you can purchase from the regardless of state. Where I live, all the smoke/vape shops also sell a bunch of delta 8 products. But I’ve preferred the stnr brand over most things I’ve tried.
