I feel like a fucking criminal

Mom Is in Illinois and dying so I have to get there. I am a legal medical marijuana user and will take some cannabis with me. I have to go thru Wyoming and Nebraska, both are exploiting the marijuana situation. Trying to say they are overwhelmed with all the drug trafficking. The cops are saying it plays on their conscience because it is illegal federally. Since when did a cop have a conscience??? Why don't it bother the blue states conscience. Because the RED states are a bunch of CHICKENSHIT, RIGHT WING, ANTI-AMERICAN, UNEDUCATED,SUPERSTITIOUS,ZEALOTS. The hypocrite bastards claim they want government out of your life, but they are the main culprits that want to control my morals but not theirs. I will give them zero reasons to pull me over, so I'll see how this goes. All they will have on me is an out of state tag that has legal marijuana user behind the wheel, who will not be impaired in any way. Except for fear. 62 years old driving across American, in fear of my protectors.
Something creepy about this picture.

would help and I don't know your problem. The more I see people experience the oils and cookies the more I am convinced by their testaments. Lots of stories from 80 year olds getting relief from marijuana cookies and actually getting off of dangerous opiates. And sleep like a baby.

Legal because CBD relieves pain but is not an intoxicant. However, I've also read that most of those oils are extracted from Chinese industrial hemp, so it's a bit of a crap shoot what else might be in there.

I was busted once with some pot on me and when I talked to a lawyer he asked me where the pot was found. I said why,he said cause if it was found in your vehicle we're talking forfeiture where if it was on your person it will only be possession. Don't partake anymore but If I was and was planning on carrying some with me It's be in my pocket.

At least I read an article about (Wyoming?) cops doing that to cars with Colorado plates. Maybe its just rumors, but it rings true.

Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma have chosen to make this their battle and people with Colorado plates are routinely stopped. We traveled through Wyoming and to SD last summer and had no problems.
My theory for WY is, they've spent a ton of money in Colorado promoting tourism and aren't about to make a big deal over this and same for SD.
I would avoid Nebraska and Oklahoma and even Kansas, who's not suing us because of their dire financial plight. I wouldn't spend a dime in any one of these states, and my apologies to all my fellow reasonable people.

While the Conservatives go on their paranoid rants about imaginary "enforced sharia law" in America & their bizarre persecution complex that the marriage or sex life of people they don't know will somehow have a deleterious effect on their lives, they ignore the creeping fascism happening in reality. Right-wingers can comfort themselves at the moment: the people whose rights are being restricted are "slutty" females, "lazy potheads", "black people attracting cops attention" (must've been doing Something, they think), & "godless heathens" of all stripes.
When the Lifestyle Police have homogenized America into almost total conformity, that's when the FoxNews viewers will have to worry about. Do they have enough children to meet Conservative societal demands? Do they reject science enough to fit in without drawing Police attention? Now Conservatives tolerate people among their ranks who believe Earth is round & revolves around the Sun. Maybe not for much longer, though.

I'll let you know how it went. And I promise to bite my tongue if I do get pulled over. It's hard to do when you know you are not a bad person, cause no one harm and are passionate in their beliefs in the value of marijuana. Plus I just don't like cops.

They were only going five over the limit but they were driving a "suspicious" looking vehicle. They were just moving someone's belongings and had a rental van filled with stuff, including black garbage bags. Cop thought he was going to make a big score. After a half an hour of questions he eventually wrote a warning ticket for five over the limit.

I hear the pigs in Nebraska are especially obnoxious. They openly target Colorado plates, detain them for hours, make arrests if a bit of marijuana the size of a grain of pepper is found, and generally behave like authoritarian pricks.

Be careful...
