I see myself always being a user of marijuana but in the state I live In and living in the south I have little hopes of ever becoming a medical marijuana state. They call us the bible belt and a real religious kind of people. Therefore I have to hide my usage in a weird way everybody I know they see marijuana as a drug, but in my case it has replaced many pills and helped me stay away from alcohol as I used to be a very bad alcoholic. I would love to see my state become a medical marijuana state but have very little hope in it

I live in Wisconsin right now and its fairly normal to talk about weed and meet up, then smoke near campus, most college students do it and are open about it here. but Im about to move to alabama, and i feel like a lot of college students do it. But no one really talks about it at all in Bama. Its sorta a secret among friends at times, and i never wanna roady in the south, too much risk. i wish the south would loosen up about it, jesus probably used cannabis, just chill out bible belt.

down in the south you can go to jail for a dime bag and have to do community service and pay a whole lot of money. I wish the majority of the south would allow it or atleast decimalize it like others have

Florida keeps trying, and polls keep confirming that the populace is on board, but our legislature and governor are all just ignoring the will of the people.

Yeah, that would apply to most of the country...

Probably drug lobbyists in Florida are paying them off to prevent a safe natural alternative to their precious pills!

Pharma, Tobacco, Alcohol, Private Prisons, Law Enforcement Unions and religious loons make a powerful lobbying block. :(

sctoker, i live in south carolina right now (from CHicago) and coming down here first meeting people id mention weed and everyone was cool about it and loved getting high and thats how i met all my dealer friends. i live in myrtle and toke in a parking lot or in my backyard in a hammock.

my theory is more people are more laid back on smoking, as long as your not hurting anyone do what you want. if your gonna stink up the whole block, it smells better than the paper mill in georgetown

Kentucky decriminalized in 2011, and we're also voting on an mmj initiative and an agricultural hemp initiative this year.

That's great, I think agricultural use will be a huge help to acceptance of cannabis/hemp, without the stigma of getting high being one of the primary uses. Here in Florida we have huge amounts of vacant agricultural land from the orange groves being frozen out in the early 80's

Kentucky has always been famous for its hemp and marijuana. We get a lot of mention in Jack Herer's book The Emperor Wears No Clothes.

Be careful in SC. I'm from NC and go to school in SC and down there they are VERY hard on MJ charges. They're still living in "the old south" down there. NC has decriminalized MJ and hopefully we will get the chance to vote for further progress next year if they let the bill go to the people (where it fucking belongs...)

Nobody is mentioning "real" southern states. I don't count Kentucky or Florida as true southern bible belt states. Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, carolinas.... Those will be the last states ever!

Idk Florida is becoming more and more "deep south" now.

You forgot Georgia, Alabama, and Texas (although the Texas population is so diverse its hard to make all Texans happy)

Yep, Georgia and Alabama as well. The problem is that these people are so uneducated about MJ and stuck in their ways without listening to reality.

I live in South Carolina as well and I just don't see it happening anytime soon. Possibly not for a couple more decades. I fear South Carolina might be the last MM state or perhaps even never becoming one...
