The population in my state is abruptly growing.
- When I lived out in the plains, I was used to being in a small town that saw many of its young people leave upon graduating school.
That’s what I did when I wanted to attend school—I went to a school over 1,000 miles away from my beach house to experience life anywhere else for a change. But now that my new state is swelling beyond capacity, I don’t think how I feel about residing here. The roads are constantly blocked as well as the lines in stores as well as pharmacies are unreal while in our tourist season. It’s really intimidating when I’m on the interstate highway as well as all of the lanes around myself and others are full of cars driving uncomfortably close to one another. When my 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 Springtime, the number of patients shot up over 674,000. Soon there will be over one million people in my state who have obtained a medical marijuana card. That makes us the third largest marijuana industry in the country despite only being several years old. While the people I was with and I only have medical cannabis at the current moment, there are initiatives being suggested to put recreational marijuana on the ballot in the next general election. Things seem love they’re only going to continue growing as well as increasing at a rapid rate, regardless of how people love myself feel who have lived here for years as well as are unhappy with the way things progressed. A lot has entirely changed in a short phase of time.
