LOL, since no one said it, I will…. I work in the marijuana field here and 85% of the people I meet are from out of state…. Everyone’s bringing their shitty habits and shitty driving with them…. GO THE FUCK HOME!!! Ur making our traffic suck, our property values to sky rocket. For what? Because ur state still condemns u for smoking weed? That sucks…. Go home and fight for it, that’s what we did…. Instead of taking the easy way out and flooding our state.
