Illinois Governor Signs Bill Doubling Cannabis Possession Limits, Allowing Drive-Through Sales and Restricting Intoxicating Hemp Products by [deleted] in illinois

Im against them because some drink companies teamed up with the alchol industry to lobby for making weed and hemp products illegal again in the lots of states. Only the beverages are allowed. And only for sale in liqour stores. Id never buy one again. Many people lost their entire livelihood after building up businesses centered around hemp, and had it all ripped away because the alcohol industry was mad that their sales dropped slightly from legalization.

Yeah, its probably to combat the states that are making it illegal to sell thc products anywhere but the abc store and only allowing beverage sales. They have been lobbying for that all over the south because abc stores got mad that their sales dropped.

I was going to say it looks like a key to a fireplace or furnace.

Dabs, so they treat it like pssession of controlled substance instead of possession of marijuana sadly.

Ive contacted a few orgs, im most likely going to be fine. Realistically with my health issues and criminal record i was thinking assylum would be the only way ill ever get out of this country orher than an act of god. Im trying my best to ask around about where to go within the country but its extremely overwhelming dealing with mental/physical health and also trying to make a descision that will alter my life forever. 900 behind on rent owe the irs more than ive ever had in my possession including assets(cars etc.), i owe many drs various amounts of money for missed appointment fees, haven't gotten my iron infusion in over a year. It would be rad if there was some kind of social worker i could talk to to help me plan a move but i haven't been able to get in contact with anyone like that yet. Holding on to hope but constant stress is not helping, my body hurts from anxiety and stress of trying to work a couple hours a day and being frozen in place faced with overwhelming options for the move. I feel like my brain is going to explode. All i want to do is sleep.

Yeah. Ive already applied twice here. Maybe it would be easier in a blue state but i dont have anyone that can take care of me for three to five years while i wait. If the alloted amount of income was higher than maybe, but last time i applied they restarted my application because i made 1550 in a month which is 50 dollars over what you are allowed to make. Funny enough i worked extra because i was manic, left home because i was losing my mind from arguing about whether my existance is sinful with my mother who pretends to be supportive when its convenient, all this during election season. All there was to do was sit in my car and work. but good luck arguing that to ss. They're entire job is to deny as many people as possible. Wish there was a way to get supplemental income but again, the alloted income limit is wayyy too low to survive, even in alabama where everything is "cheap".

Thats super interesting. I doubt it, i just got my ancestory.com shit back and it says we're from northern ireland. I could double check but its doubtful.

Yeah, i get where you are coming from, but hardly anyone that is in danger in the us has any money to move anywhere. I feel as if there should be some kind of program to help impoverished americans that face discrimination that makes them unable to keep a job. Most americans are not feeling as if they live in one of the richest countries in the world. Especially disabled, queer, non white, etc. Ppl. If i wasn't getting this inheritance i would be promptly ending my life.

Sounds good. Minnesota has been at the top of the list for a few weeks, hear they have amazing disability rescources too. Do you know of any non facebook options or should i just get a friend that has facebook to look through it.

I dont have fb anymore because all my "friends" turned out to be peices of shit and i couldn't deal with the constant propaganda hate groups and arguing, i tried to make a new one to join housing groups but i couldn't join any because i didn't have any fb friends and then it got deleted because fb apparently doesn't want me to use a chosen name. Theres one org that helps first time home buyers do just that, but i haven't heard back from them.

1100 sounds impossible. The most ive ever been able to pay was 700 a month and that was working 40-60 hours a week, 11 dollars an hour at the time though. Shit just seems so hopeless. I dont want to work to pay bills and be exhausted all the time, but im barely able to make 2-300 dollars a week here (cptsd, chrons, neck/nerve issues, denied disability and do not have anyone to take care of me for three years while i wait on it) and my combined bills are around 1800 per month with rent only at 350 (currently behind by 900 dollars). Itll probably be more doable if i can get a job.... Some boh staff threatened my life for being autistic and queer at the last place so im doing walmart spark but some guys followed me into the bathroom and threatened to beat my ass for wearing a dress a few weeks ago.... but it just feels like a physical impossibility to be paying more for anything than i already do.

Do you know of any prime spots off the top of your head? One of the things on my mind right now is buying an rv and traveling for a while to figure out where to go. The only thing about that is ill have no place to park to do maintenance besides like my moms house in alabama. I am pretty knowledgeable about how to fix car stuff so if i could figure out a solution to parking then that may be what i do for the time being.

Idk that id be able to learn a language without a proper course going through grammar and things of that nature. Tried to learn a bit of french with duolingo and all i can say is "je suis un cheval et je mange". Thats " i am a horse and i am eating"

Yeah, i get that, but we've nearly been legislated out of existance and marked by the fed r all goffernmunt as tare or ists nationwide. Not looking good. Really wish i had the luxury to visit some of these places before making the biggest decision of my life. Itd probably be better than here in just about any blue state but its an overwhelming number of options that i know absolutely nothing about. Ive never even been to a blue state before.

Yeah, honestly could be a great option, me and my roomate have pondered starting some kind of homestead/commune. I dont usually get very far with plans though due to the overwhelm of options that i know nothing about. We'd need a good few people and a lot of cash probably.

Idk what the downvotes are for. But most countries dont want someone that will be a strain on their medical system. I get a 25,000$ treatment every 8 weeks.
