Yeah it's legal in Colorado and I had some fun with it while I was there. But now in Texas even though I'm of legal age I cannot get access to weed legally (except for delta-8, but they're trying to ban that too). And that also means the quality of weed is much, much worse. The smell of good quality legal weed from the boutique dispensaries in CO are very pleasant and calming to me, but I absolutely cannot stand the smell or taste of the "skunky" stuff, which in my experience pretty much all illegal weed tends to be. So I don't have much interest in obtaining weed in Texas, especially because I don't plan on staying here. My current plan is to get a degree and get out of the country, ideally move tosomewhere in Europe. Not sure exactly where yet, but I've narrowed down a list with the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Estonia, and Switzerland currently at the top (and yeah ik weed isn't legal in all those places either but from what I've seen the punishments seem to be far less severe). So I'm not really chomping at the bit to get access to drugs right now, though it'd sure be nice if more things were legal here.
