Imagine this:  You are planning to move out and you are looking for a new place to live. Your family and friends give some suggestions but you want to base your decision on how lax the laws are. After researching and looking for placing to live, you find out that marijuana is illegal in most places.  The problem is that you are sick.  You are a marijuana patient.  You are constricted to states that have de-criminalized medical marijuana, which means moving away from all that you know.

The prohibition of marijuana started during the 1906. By the mid-1930s, the drug law was regulated and instituted through the Uniform State Narcotic Drug Act. In 1970s, many states started to decriminalize the use of medical marijuana. They began drug education and giving civil fines to regulate the use of marijuana. In 1990s, marijuana use was legalized by some states, which were opposed with the federal laws for they believed that this drug was more prone to be abused and was not safe to use. After the many debates, the federal government was given the right to regulate and criminalize the use of marijuana, even for medical purposes. Now, here are the states where you can grow and use medical marijuana.  Hopefully, you either live in one of these states or plan to visit.
