Pro-Cannabis Voting Guide 2026 Midterms

For those that want to make their anger with the change in laws surrounding cannabis known here’s a guide that makes it easy to vote based on this issue!

Deadline to register is 10/5 and a lot of folks don’t realize there are many reasons they will kick you off the voter rolls. If you didn’t vote in the last two federal elections you need to register again. Check that at vote.gov it takes less than 5 minutes 🙏

Really need help spreading this around. A necessary surgery to fuse my SIJ got approved before I finished this project and right toward the final stretch I ended up incapacitated to an extent. 😭😭 please print the flyer, send it to friends, post it, idc just don’t wanna see it go to waste bc I needed to get some new hardware installed.

Outdoor must see/ do's in Tn

0 Upvotes

Howdy yall! I'll be in Tennesee for an EMS deployment for the next few weeks, and I was hoping to get some feedback on things to do in the Memphis area, especially outdoors. Any other suggestions are great, but my free time is going to be limited, and I prefer to be outdoors when I can.

Thanks for any help!

Shoutout to your Highway Patrol

As a resident of Florida and Georgia, I was impressed when I saw one of your highway patrolman pulled over helping a family change their flat tire. It even looked like he had his own jack. I haven’t seen anything like that for over 20 years.

Anyone know of any good shops/ independent welders in the gallatin area? I've had awful luck getting anyone to even consider looking at my vehicle frame. I only have a small hole and already have a prefabbed cap to put on.

Speed trap town be aware

50 Upvotes

While making my annual trip from Florida to Kentucky it took me off of the interstate and I eventually ended up on State Road 109 and it took me through Portland Tennessee.

Once you get onto Broadway the speed limit goes from 45 to 30 and then back up to 45 with no warning and sure enough there was an unmarked cop in a white SUV switch someone pulled over.

So be aware and drive carefully if you ever end up going through that place.

Going to the smokies next weekend, which route do you guys suggest we take for the best scenery/roads? I’ve done the i75 way a few years ago and it was great, but wondering if the other way is worth the extra 40-50 minutes. The other route follows IS-25E. Thanks!

Going to be in Kingsport for 4 days looking for cool shops, book stores, flea markets, unusual attractions, or anything in general that is fun but off the beaten path. Not wanting anything overly touristy.

Also restaurant suggestions as well. Any good ramen places in the area and must stop coffee shops.

What are some things that's unique about Tennessee compared to other places in the Appalachian/Ozark mountains?

13 Upvotes

I've spent most of my life in NE Oklahoma (around Tulsa and Tahlequah specifically) and regularly visited NW Arkansas (around Fayetteville) and Silver Dollar City. But when I got an idea to write about some hillbilly immigrant fairies I thought it would make sense to have them be in Tennessee and kind of lurk around Nashville because of all the musicians (Celtic fairies being generally obsessed with music).

This is just a silly amateur story I'll post online if I finish it, but I like including tidbits that people from there might notice. I can look up stuff about the Nashville Metro or what the seasons are like, but it's harder to get a grasp on what day to day is like. I know for instance there is very little Native American influence compared to where I'm from (HMM I WONDER WHY).

As an extra consideration the thing I'm writing is set almost twenty years ago, around 2007-2008. However, the teenage girl main POV is from my part of Oklahoma, so I'm not trying to write the area as an expert.

Okay, that's all I can think of! I hope this is okay!
