    I live in Indiana right on the central Illinois border. Weed is legal in Illinois but illegal in Indiana. You would think all those towns by the Indiana border would welcome the tax revenue from having dispensaries in them (Michigan towns do this to attract Indiana buyers). Nope. Those redneck counties decided that crime would run rampant in their little towns and passed resolutions banning dispensaries.

    People from around here still go to Illinois to buy weed. They just drive an hour to do it. It’s worth it to them, but they would definitely buy more often if it was one county over. And while we’re not a huge city, it’s a decent enough sized market that they would definitely get a lot of business. Morons.
