Recreational states I've been to became that way through promises to
schools that they'd get that money as well as provisions for limited personal growing. Florida couldn't pass the recreational law because
they decided to allow for NO personal growing in favor of locking us
into Florida grower only suppliers.
I know this will sound like an aging boomer. I last smoked pot when I was a teenager in the 70s before joining the Navy. Since then, I've had multiple back injuries and a bunch of other body parts removed, including my right upper lung due to cancer last year. I lived on NSAIDs (and heavier hitters) for pain during my entire adult life.
When I retired in Virginia, I got a medical marijuana license from the state. I have it delivered to my door every month or two. I take a hit if I'm in pain or just in the evening before bedtime. I've evaluated many strains and intake methods, but a quick hit works best for me. I prefer the sativa strains for pain management.
I know from my childhood that recreational pot was usually very fun, but today I think it should at least be legal nationally for medicinal purposes with adults. The fact that you can have a few laughs while medicated is a plus!
