The population in our state is abruptly growing.
When I lived out in the plains, I was used to being in a small town that saw several of its young people leave upon graduating high university.
That’s what I did when I wanted to attend college—I went to a university over 1,000 miles away from our home to experience life somewhere else for a change. But now that our modern state is swelling beyond capacity, I don’t believe how I believe about living here. The roads are consistently congested and the lines in stores and pharmacies are unreal during our tourist season. It’s undoubtedly intimidating when I’m on the interstate highway and all of the lanes around myself and others are full of cars driving uncomfortably close to 1 another. When our state first legalized medical marijuana in 2016, it took over a year for the number of patients to crawl close to 100,000. As of last Spring, the number of patients shot up over 770,000. Soon there will be over 1 million people in our state who have obtained a medical marijuana card. That makes us the sixth largest marijuana industry in the country despite only being many years old. While both of us only have medical cannabis at the modern moment, there are initiatives being recommended to put recreational marijuana on the ballot in the next general election. Things seem prefer they’re only going to continue growing and increasing at a rapid rate, regardless of how people prefer myself believe who have lived here for years and are unhappy with the way things progressed. A lot has absolutely changed in a short stage of time.
