The Joint Boundary Commission was not convened to determine where pot should be legal, but to re-establish the North Carolina/South Carolina border. Since the 1730s, when the farmers doing the survey used non-permanent markers on non-permanent objects, the border has managed to migrate “several hundred feet” in places.

A public hearing is scheduled for today in Monroe to discuss legislation proposed to make the transition to another state easier for those affected. Hey, Mister! One of those trees with a marker walked into my back yard.
