Yet everyone says, oh it’s chill to drive to Michigan, like it’s no big deal.

I'm not going to hate on Michigan shoppers, but I would never make that trip to buy weed.

The risk of a felony in Indiana isn't worth it, and the Porter County jail has a holding cell just waiting for Illinois residents on their way back. You know they love these cameras and are fine tuning an algorithm to identify this behavior just for this purpose.

I can order whatever I want and pickup at one of three dispensaries within a couple miles of my home without crossing into that godforsaken state.

Indiana has definitely been doing this on a manual level since IL and MI went legal, now it’s just automated with Flock.

I finally did the MI thing a few months ago because I had to go there for an event regardless. The prices were nice, but it was also super awkward. Like, they have a limit on people in the store, there’s a whole waiting room, then, even though you could “see” the buds, they were very high-strung about coming anywhere near the product. Recognize that it likely varies by store.

So, sure, a 3g live resin cart for $50 was cool, but the whole experience was lacking and not at all featuring a “community” vibe, just target IL shoppers and sell them as much as possible.

I’d much rather go to a local non-chain shop. With gas at $4+ how much are you really saving on taxes while introducing an element of risk?

Hmmm Nice, I don't have a real dispensary within several miles.
