I saw the post on facebook. Tellingly on my part I thought, "Man if I lived in a state where marijuana was legal, I would not move to a different state where it was not."

Happy moving and I hope you find what you are looking for in South Dakota.

got that figured out when i was up there last weekend

but, beyond that, there's a group shooting to get both medicinal and recreational marijuana AND death with dignity on the ballot next year...i'm just gonna go sprinkle some of that blue state fairy dust where ever i go

this may wind up just being a stopover but i'm going to do a lot of tromping around before i make that decision

relief from misery and bullshit. Life can be cruel, but we sure don't need to be! Godspeed to you!

And good luck getting marijuana legalized for health use in SD and also death with dignity. Both of those are hunky dory things.

Mostly on the East side but been to most of the rest of the state too. Hope you enjoy your change of scenery. Maybe I'll run into you!
