HOAs are for people that love big, big, big governments, with an extra helping of big.  They have to have constant supervision in their lives and always have someone telling them what to do.

You live in one, you deserve everything you get

Why buy into an HOA if you don't want HOA rules?

I'd like to see them enforce it. In NC thee no way in hell. but maybe where they are depending on the law they can.

Possibly the worst thing about AZ is the fucking HOA's . It's nearly impossible to live in any sort of decent neighborhood without one. They're like the fucking teamsters here. That said, I don't really want to be sitting on my back patio smelling some dreadlock sportin' dirty hippie smoking pot all fucking day either. The lack of wind here means that it will just be a giant cloud hanging around. and Fuck HOA's.

Central Phoenix is full of great older neighborhoods with no HOA.



Arcadia district, for one.



 

Any other medicines the state won't allow?

Not even so much the state but the feds. A few years back, I smoked it for a while after my 4th back surgery. It helped on the days when the fentanyl and methadone (yes, methadone does get used as a pain medication) weren't enough. And since the old arfcom standby of "Have some whiskey with your oopiate pain meds, hur-derp" is a fantastic way to end up dead when mixed with pain meds stronger than vicodin (the tic-tac of the chronic severe pain world), pot seemed a better answer.

For the folks who derisively say it has no use in pain relief, all I can say is that I hope that you never get to where you're desperate enough to try anything.

Fun little fact-while I qualify for a MM card here in AZ, I refuse to get one, since sheriff Joe  has pretty much said that if you get pulled over coming home from, oh, say the range, it doesn't matter if you've last smoked a week ago. He will take your guns and charge you as a prohibited posessor. I don't smoke anymore, and I sure as fuck am not going to get on a list so that Arpaio can sieze my weapons and charge me for following the law.

As for the drug warrior legislators, I sincerely hope they someday end up with intractable pain for which pot might be their only relief.

Nah, the other stuff they just ID you for and prevent you from buying too much cause it might be used in that awful meth business.

Another day, another pothead thread.

If a republican is a liberal that was mugged, and a libertarian is a republican that was beaten up by the cops, then what is a libertarian that got ass raped by a HOA?

An arfcommer?
