I live in a non legal state near the east coast where I own a home and am set up pretty nice to live. I was injured badly 2 years ago in an accident and have been unhappy ever since. Moved to this state to be around family and they are now less supportive than ever. Their the only things holding me down and the only reason I moved here from Florida after my accident and settlement. It's incredibly lonely and depressing in this town and lately I've been having dreams of getting a camper shell for my truck and hitting the road with my dog. I would of course have to either sell my house and pack up my belongings into storage or liquidate my things to fit into the truck. No feel like if I keep my house and take off on this trip I will be broke by the time im home.l and keeping the house will be difficult. It's hard for me to do what I used to and have not worked since I was hurt. Awaiting dissability but I'm 26 and I just don't see it happening. So in order for me to be able to deal with my pain and new problems Ill have to be doing what I dream of and living life. If I sit here I feel like I'll slowly fall beneath the surface.

Just looking for some nice rollitup members to chat with and get some outside view or somekne that's had this point in their life and to share their expiericnes along with what you learned. And if you had the chance would you do it all over again. Any convo welcome thanks!

My home is set up to grow a good amount however being here depressed and in pain I've had a hard time finding the motivation to grow. I did compete one crop of some cheese which was amazing. And my first grow. My dreams were always to grow legally in a legal state and be around people that are like minded. Here in the Bible Belt I feel like I'm the only person of my type around here. Hard to explain.

I know how you feel. Move away to where you will be happy. Fuck the bible belt, God hates all those people anyways. Life is too short to be miserable.

That's not really going to help you find any friends out west its not easy meeting cool people in the boondocks. But you want to move out west go for it you only live once no sense having any regrets. I'm staying in New England though kind of sucks that their seems to be more junkies then people who smoke herb but fuck it more people = more problems but someone needs to supply the dank otherwise they will win the war and its just sad some of the trash they sell for like $50 an eighth $20 a gram its mostly trash not much better than Mexican brick. But then again we will have legal herb real soon and shits going to pop off. :bigjoint:

how did you live off the 1000 for the time it took to get a job or anything?

Takes good planning! Plan plan and then plan some more. You need a solid 6 months worth of cash to pay all the bills at the place you decide to relocate to. Then another 6 months of cash on hand in case things don't work out for you and you decide to go back home.

Colorado is a bit more expensive to live in than many areas of the U.S. So, is Alaska. I haven't really studied up on Oregon or Washington, but I imagine anywhere you go, if it's a reasonably safe area to live it will be expensive.

If you think you are going to become a grower in these areas. I believe most of them require you be a resident for like 2 years before you can be management or ???? You better look up that information. I don't think being a trimmer or plant tender pays really great. So.... Plug that into your 6 month budget, assuming you can even get a job like that. The legalization of MJ has caused a lot of migration from other areas into CO, and look it up, but the industry may be saturated with qualified applicants who want to work in the industry.

Again. Plan, plan and then plan some more. Write out your plans and budgets. Research and have the correct numbers to plug into your budget.

It's a cool dream and I believe you could do it if you think ahead and do the research. But, going in blind might put you in a bind at some point. Best of luck.

I have the same thoughts..I'm actually building a truck to handle a slide in camper and tow a 20+'trailer i can fit all my crap in and I want to go drive around the country to find a place to settle down..I keep trying to tell myself the grass isn't always greener..but I have trouble believing it could be any worse.

April, you just picked up and left or was it somewhat planned? If it wasn't for a couple family members that i know aren't going to be around that much longer I'd pick up and disappear for a bit..

I've thought about running away but realized it would solve a damn thing. I got to the root of my depression and improved my quality of life without drugs.

I think about moving away, not necessarily running away but moreso after all these years of being in the same area, many family and friends have moved on, many have passed on. It is not in the cards for me to pick up and go at this point but, hell yeah. You only live once and you might as well experience as many different cultures as the U.S. has to offer and explore the vast countryside. I have lived on both coasts. 2 of the largest cities in the country. Many small towns. And I have driven an 18 wheeler all over the beautiful lower 48. Now. It may not be for everyone, but, if circumstances ever allow it, I would love to give it a shot, even if I should have to leave my wife behind to handle the business at home and her still be around the family. I think Nome Alaska would be cool. But, I would probably only want to experience that area for maybe a year and then move on again. It'll probably never happen..... But.

Yeah your gonna have to quit smokin if you wanna drive. I had 5 pee tests the last year I drove. I didn't smoke or do any drugs at all. That was a decade ago and I'm not sure I wanna go that route again although I loved it at the time. Now if your young single and willing to quit smoking. Throw the important stuff in storage, go to school and if you get with the right company, you can make lots of dollars and just live in the truck. Save up, do it for 2 or 3 years and then get out and pay cash for a house. If your young enough and willing to quit smoking. Couple of times I would get a load near dispatch. They would message me to come to the yard and see my dispatch. From there o was instructed to immediately drive the yard car to the testing center and that's all she wrote. No time to plan. So...... Def gotta keep that in mind.

Guess that's out..I need to get my truck done and do some side hot shot work. F the D.O.T

Nope. Can't have you driving down the road in an 80 ton truck doing meds. You could kill people and their children. High blood pressure, diabetes, correctable vision, there are a lot of reasons that can disqualify a person from getting a CDL. Or flying a plane. lol. For good reasons.
