I moved to Florida from the northeaster a little over five years ago, My goal was to travel far enough south to escape temperatures below freezing and feet of snow.

I traveled around the state for a while, checking out the appeal of different locations.

Once I arrived in Palm Beach, I never left. The area is absolutely beautiful. While the summer heat and humidity can present some challenges, the winters are mild and short. For most of the year, the weather is sunny and pleasant. I love the palm trees and sandy beaches and have no desire to move back north. The only drawback of my home state is the lack of legal access to recreational weed. I could get my medical marijuana card, but I am hesitant to make the effort and pay the fees for something that expires in a year. I’m not sure that it’s worth it. However, I am living with a variety of medical issues that would benefit from access to cannabis. I experience frequent migraines, bouts of insomnia, noctural leg cramps, plantar fasciitis, psoriasis and flare ups of arthritis in my hands. I also suffer from anxiety from time to time. None of these conditions are severe or life-threatening. I refuse to consume any type of synthetic medicine. I am unwilling to risk long-term side-effects far worse than what I’m dealing with now. I find it ridiculous that I am allowed to buy whiskey, beer and cigarettes but am forbidden the curative benefits of plant-based medicine. CBD products don’t even cause psychoactive effects. My hope is that Florida will soon legalize recreational marijuana. A proposal to legalize weed has received enough signatures to qualify for the 2024 general election ballot. More than a million voters signed the initiative.

I waited a long time for recreational weed to be legalized in the state of Illinois.

Since January 2020, adults 21+ have been allowed to purchase, possess and consume cannabis products.

I am relieved that I no longer need to go through the hassle and expense of qualifying for an MMJ card. The card expires after a single year, forcing me to go through the process and pay the fees again. Now, I have access to any of the recreational dispensaries located anywhere across the state. Living in Orland Park, there are several nearby weedshops. I am only about a half hour’s drive from Chicago, where there are numerous larger dispensaries. I rarely make the trip. I am satisfied with the smaller, boutique shop in Orland Park. They have everything I need. I suffer from arthritis in my hands. There are times when I don’t even notice it. Now and then, the flare ups cause my knuckles to swell and become very painful. It becomes impossible to make a fist, open jars or even type on my laptop. Since my job is handled entirely by way of the computer and online access, I need my hands in good working order. Plus, the weather in Orland Park requires shoveling snow in the winter, raking leaves in the fall, pulling weeds in the spring and mowing lawn in the summer. My active lifestyle is hindered by symptoms of arthritis. I’ve found that CBD works wonders for me. I choose cannabis products with a higher CBD to THC ratio and look for those options that also provide CBN. Topicals can be applied directly to my hands for soothing relief. I purchase tinctures for fast-acting effects without dealing with smoke, ash or odors. They are discreet, simple and when stored properly, offer a long shelf-life.

I’ve had complaints with condensate running down the window panes and rotting the sills.

I love the warm weather, bright sunshine and blue skies of Lakeland, Florida. I’d never want to trade the palm trees, orange trees and the waterfront for snow and cold. However, the humidity associated with summers in Lakeland can be brutal. When the temperature is in the low eighties, the conditions often feel like temperatures in the triple digits because of the excess moisture. The humidity makes spending time outdoors very unpleasant. The second I step out the door, I start to sweat profusely. The moisture can also be problematic indoors. High humidity levels make the air feel warmer, and it’s always tempting to lower the thermostat. This requires the air conditioner to run longer, work harder and use more energy. I pay higher electric bills without solving the problem. Over-cooling doesn’t get rid of the moisture. The abundance of moisture can be blamed for headaches, insomnia, sore throat, congestion, lethargy and all sorts of health issues. Hot, moist condiitons are the perfect environment for mold, mildew, bacteria, cockroaches and dust mites to thrive. Excess humidity threatens the integrity of wood furnishings such as floors, doors, moldings and antiques, causing them to bulge and warp. I’ve actually mound mildew on my leather purses and shoes. I’ve had complaints with condensate running down the window panes and rotting the sills. For anyone living in Lakeland, a whole-home dehumidifier is a good idea. The accessory incorporates into the central air conditioner and pulls moisture out of the air as it passes through the system. By removing moisture, the dehumidifier provides a more comfortable and healthier living environment.
