I for sure feel you on this. Definitely have been coming to terms with the fact I should be cutting back on my consumption.
Especially when it comes to traveling, being able to smoke less is a massive benefit. When I was in New Mexico a few months ago I had a very not fun run in with the po-po. Sort of why I've been hanging in the weed friendly states the past month lol.
Good luck yo! We will reach the point we are aiming for soon enough. And then when we rip the bowl it'll fuckin wreck us haha.
Yeah man the police can still be nasty in some of those states. Cutting back is good, self control is good. Cheers dude
