Medical marijuana is legal in this state. I was unaware of this until a dispensary opened up in my little town. I was purchasing some snacks yesterday and the joint next door selling pot seemed to be quite lively. It was the busiest place in the strip mall. I wanted to go in there to check it out but the blacked out windows made it seem foreboding so I chickened out.

OTOH, the people that I saw going in there seemed to be in pain and ill at ease with their bodies. Hopefully, I won't be joining their ranks anytime soon.
