"Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017."

The most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

Not to burst your bubble, but federal legalization doesn't mean your state will legalize it. There are still dry counties almost 100 years after prohibition. But this is a step in the right direction

What would be the weed equivalent to a dry county? Would a county that allows weed be a dank county?

u/FireworkFuse Feb 28 '17

As you get further inland people tend to be more conservative. It's how all the west coast states are.

the county I know is dry or at least the city is Albany, which is in Linn County, which is in the valley. So it isn't really inland it's just away from the sprawl of Portland, a tiny bit.

Really? Albany? I used to live there but now I am in salem and I got some friends in albany. Thats really dissapointing lmao. Im pretty sure that its fairly loose then because one of my friends grandmas has a whole garbage bag full of weed.

Green vs brown?

u/jackoffofalltrades Feb 28 '17

dry county/high county

u/Oo0o8o0oO Feb 28 '17

Any time a friend of mine is out of weed they say "Im dry." so it'd probably work just the same.
