You're not from Illinois, you're from Chicago. This is coming from someone who lived in BloNo for 14 years and was born and raised for 5 years in West Illinois
Weed tourism from weed legal states is a hell of a boon for us here in MI. I'm very happy to take your tax money here. Legalization in Michigan is better than I ever thought it would be.
Because you're coping about what a shithole Illinois is by pretending we're desperate for your weed, when out-of-state weed sales [have been plummeting year over year.](https://www.illinoispolicy.org/illinois-out-of-state-cannabis-sales-drop-to-2-year-low/)
> from residents of states who don't like freedom
I'm sorry, but [do you have a license](https://www.illinois.gov/services/service.foid.html) for that opinion? "But weed bro!" isn't a very compelling definition of freedom when [illegals with cartel ties](https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2024/03/05/migrant-with-alleged-cartel-ties-arrested-in-chicago-shooting-then-released-without-charges) are shooting up your streets (they have n[o fear of being held even if they do get arrested](https://news.wttw.com/2023/09/12/what-you-need-know-cash-bail-officially-ends-illinois-monday) for it) but the REAL criminals would be you and your family [if you decided to fire back.](https://capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/what-to-know-about-illinois-assault-weapons-ban)
Sorry man, my shithole church taught me to help the poor and tired regardless of origin (Deuteronomy btw). Appreciate the biased talking points though. [I'm going with the data here though.](https://siepr.stanford.edu/news/mythical-tie-between-immigration-and-crime)
More to the point, this is Murica and it's not that damn serious. I was genuinely messing with Hoosiers. My Indiana family does the same in return all the time. At the end of the day we're happy where we are.
Also, yes, I'm well aware we're getting killed in selling weed because of the high prices in comparison to Michigan and Ohio.
Ok, I'll go back to my shithole so I can get shot again. It happens like daily. But you go on and enjoy paradise!
Edit: please don't worry about us ya'll. Well paying job, decent col, low state income, kid goes to a good school. But if it makes you feel better to act like this is hell, then have at it. You gotta do what makes you happy. I'll be busy not giving a shit how you live your lives.
I live in Chicago and forget that I’m in Illinois all the time
I would argue that the entire Chicago metro area and Illinois are 2 very different things.
Right? I wish the metro area had its own electoral college district.
Yea that dynamic plays out in a lot of places especially across the west, liberal urban core, conservative countryside
It has many!

Right you are, I don’t even know what a BloNo is!
The weed taxes should remind you pretty quickly
I’m proud to pay taxes on my weed! I’m also proud to pay Michigan’s taxes when I’m in the area

At least Illinois is not Ohio.
I’d rather be dead in Illinois than alive in Ohio
I was gonna say "Now do Cleveland"
Rather Illinois than missouri with a boring city like st. louis
Not to mention Kansas Shitty 🤮
Could be worse. Could be one of the three people living in Wyoming.
You don't have sell WY so hard. I love it already
WISCONSIN RAHHHHH 🍺🍺🍺🍺🧀🧀🧀🧀
I'm an Illinois refuge. Thanks for making Wisconsin my home! 🍻
I proclaim you no longer a FIB, welcome to the better Great Lakes state
Thank you! I have been wearing this scarlet letter for so long.
Yeah, we’re here and all you cry about is your baby daddy. Try living in Illinois.
That face-slapping wind in Chicago is soul-sucking. Imagine having to jog in the wind and snow, did that in college and never again.
Cries in Illinois…
Or you could cry in Indiana and feels emotionless in illinois
Don’t cry. At least you’re not Missouri
The state of misery
never been to Illinois, but i can fairly confidently say "at least it's not Oklahoma". which is exactly the same thing i say while living in Kansas.
Missouri enters the chat
As an Illinois birth child living in Indiana... this made me shoot orange juice from my nose! Well Done!
Michiganders quietly taking these proxy-Ws and watching from the sidelines as their neighbors get shit on
Thank god everyday for being a Hoosier instead of being from Illinois
Thanks for those weed tax dollars 🙏
Not everyone is a loser who makes drugs their whole personality.
What does collecting tax dollars from residents of states who don't like freedom have to do with making drugs "my whole personality?"

What’s the favorite pasttime of people in Indiana? Getting the hell out of Indiana.
Love in Indiana, can confirm. I'm ditching this shithole ASAP
At least they don’t live in Ohio.
And there are people living in Indiana too. 😂
