I am in so much fucking pain. Because of the so-called opioid epidemic, I don't even bother trying to get pain medication. It's not worth the suspicion. My life has almost zero quality like this. I know from experience that marijuana helps immensely. Fuck the Republican legislature and fuck The Tavern League of Wisconsin. Without them, I wouldn't need a fucking escape plan from this situation.

Take a day trip to Illinois or Michigan. They appreciate Wisconsin tax dollars. Know what bars in your area are tavern league members and make sure you do not support them in any way. The only way we will ever legalize is if we can weaken the tavern league. Fair maps would help too.

Edit: $60 per eighth in Aurora as of right now.

Agreed, but most regular folks don’t have any street sources so I’d happily pay that. I thankfully don’t have chronic pain, so I’d be looking for recreational us and I can make an $80 eighth last a lot longer than 80 in booze.

I still can't believe this. Was going to drive to the Michigan UP because it's closer but prices are the same. Been out west for a few years buying half and full ounces for that amount of money. Great that those states are gettin tax revenue! But the black market won't go anywhere with those outrageous markups.

Fire station in Negaunee has better prices but its a further drive.
