Although Massachusetts legalized marijuana more than seven years ago, the state’s Cannabis Control Commission has taken the position that transporting pot across the ocean risks running afoul of federal laws.

    Martha’s Vineyard average household income: $139,158

    U.S. average household income: $74,755

    In other words, take a ferry over to the mainland, you rich fucks.

      FWIW, cost of living is through the roof in Massachusetts, especially on Martha’s Vineyard. $139,000 in MA doesn’t get you as much as $75,000 in some other states.

      Average income on the island may be 139k but the mainland isn’t far off with an average household income of 134.5k.

      If anything it makes me wonder about using that metric to measure the wealth of a somewhat isolated population. I’d think there may be a higher number of retirees or independently wealthy individuals which may bring this number down since they’re not generating an income.

      Anyways, I don’t really have a point I’m just rambling lol
