A lot of people get mennonites and Amish confused as well. If this is in Michigan where weed is legal and there are many mennonites throughout the state. Particularly in the michiana region.

Yup.

There are also a lot of groups within the Amish and Mennonites. It's not a uniform belief system.

But then there are also people who think it's funny to dress up like the Amish to sell weed.

There's also companies that'll happily use "Amish made" as branding for quality.

Im fairly certain this picture pre-dates Michigan legalization - its been around for a while

As someone that lives fairly close to both my wife constantly mixes them up.

But if weed is legal there why are they selling Delta 8 and hemp weed?

Being that this picture is at least 5 years old, weed was legalized for rec back in 2018, so it very could possibly be.
