Seattle has legal weed


We have legal weed here as well. Yes you have to get a script from a weed clinic but it is good for a year, it takes less than 30 minutes for the one visit a year, they approve everyone who applies and there are weed stores within 10 minutes of anywhere.

I can't tolerate the people and weather in Seattle. Phoenix is cheaper, the weather is better, LA, San Diego and Vegas are all about 5 hours away by car and Arizona women are gorgeous.

If I'm on a limited budget, is Seattle manageable? I've got 3 dogs to consider


If you work is in a suburb of Seattle maybe you can get a place with a yard but with a "limited budget" that is probably going to be very rough, if your job is in the city there is no chance. Like Nurse said you can get a nice place in Scottsdale for $1500 a month with a great yard and if you have 3 dogs and don't have a yard you are a dick.

So many brewpubs have popped up all over the PHX metro area. Try one of those is you like craft beer for a more casual meal.

Scottsdale Brewing Company
O.H.S.O.
FATE Brewery


All good choices

Yeah, they lowered the tax. Much cheaper now although you can still do better on the black market or at a dispensary.

Sure its not the same but I like it this way better. ANY responsible person goes to a 30 minute appointment a year and can buy weed like they buy booze, the dirtbags who are too lazy get arrested which is good because when they get arrested for something major later on it gives them one more prior.

We still have our med shops. Better deals and fresher weed. I only go to the weed store for shatter and edibles (because it's lab tested).

You don't like those places?


Flag has a bunch of cool brewpubs as well.

We are going next Saturday to a big beer festival in Flag.

IDK about lab tested but they sell shatter and edibles out here at all the med shops. I doubt they test the shatter in labs but a lot of the edibles are big named brands so I am sure they are fine, I know they frick people up plenty!

I mean they are ok because of the scene and the food but if I want a beer I want a Miller Lite and a shot, not some seasonal fruity gay IPA pale ale pumpkin shite.

They do here too, I just like knowing my shatter wasn't made by some bumpkin in a motel room so I buy from the shop. Not arguing against AZ though. One of the best places I've lived.

Honest question: which cities would you say have significantly better public transportation systems? I grew up in SF, my mom lives in Portland, I have done a lot of business in Atlanta, DC, Houston, etc. so those are my best comparisons.

You're from SF? I grew up in Palo Alto and San Jose. San Jose has a better system than Seattle.*
*haven't lived there in 20 years. Maybe it sucks now?

Both have their own natural beauty but they are essentially complete opposites of on another outside of mountains....I moved tomScottsdale in 2004 and haven't thought of leaving...I personally love 300+ days of total sunshine and months at a time without rain after growing up in South Louisiana. Gonna be 116 this Weekend....wooohooo!

PS...like others have said, greater than average percentage of women are hot and depending on your age, there are the ASU girls or the abundance of divorced single moms in 30s and 40s.
