If there was a Libertarian, I voted for them, so I voted for 6 of them total
If there was no Libertarian, I voted Republican, because I'm never going to vote for a pathological lying/debauched Democrat
Screw GOP Wommack, Boozeman and Sarah, tired of the fake arse military industrial complex and prison industrial complex bullshite, voted for their Libertarian opponents
All four amendments, I voted for them.
one was a square-off against legislative Republicans versus our RINO governor over basic power of the governor's office that the legislature does not have, and I obviously sided with the legislative folks on it. I'm too lazy to explain it all, but I know I made the right vote.
I voted for weed, and I don't smoke it.
One amendment dealing with religion was opposed by Democrats, so that was an easy "Yes" - it was also opposed by one GOP state house member saying something like "We need to make sure Muslims can't build a mosque next to a Christian daycare and then pray loud Muslim prayers all day that can be heard by the daycare playground." Okay dude, go holy roll your arse into a John Hagee watch party and STFU

the GOP needs to stop with the proverbial 'hottie' MILF reps with painted-on jeans and a gun holster acting like they're 4'11 female Clint Eastwoods and popping off at the mouth every 15 minutes
I like sweet women in a sun dress and with sweet soft manners about them, and if they're concealing a gun, great, I'm all for it, but don't be an attention whore about it

I hate the establishment R's as much as anyone, but you do know that by voting Libertarian, you are making the path to victory easier for the Marxists, right?
Also, if the primaries taught us anything, it's to vote on election day to overwhelm the "flaws" in the voting systems.

I plugged my nose up while I voted for that, because the way it was worded to me stunk.
It seems like a way for the Waltons to buy up farm lands and start the weed business. I could be wrong but it seemed like that from the wording to me.

Voting Dem down the line.
No to all 4 issues.
Just a reminder that there are different perspectives on this board sometime. We usually just stay quiet

On Issue 1, if extra sessions are to happen, that's taxpayer funded. I have a hard time with the rationale as to why that's necessary and having more of my tax dollars going to potential extra sessions. I haven't voted yet, but if I'm looking at that issue wrong, I'm all ears.

No, because if there was one race where it was possible that a Democrat might win, I would vote GOP

Yep. It's going to effectively create corporate monopolies on the recreational industry as well because it pretty much limits recreational cultivation to those already in the medical cultivation game and allows for only a few more dispensary players. I believe it also removed some limits on consolidation, which would allow some of the current big players to consolidate and buy up other entities, effectively creating larger and larger canicorps in the state while screwing over any chance for innovation or entrepreneurship from smaller enterprises. We're already seeing a ton of people in border cities get Oklahoma medical licenses instead because their prices are WAY cheaper than prices here. Arkansas prices are, supposedly, some of the highest around because we consolidated ownership into the hands of a few, thus killing off free market checks and balances.
It also doesn't allow for home growing for personal use. I don't smoke weed (anymore) either, but I know a lot of marijuana advocates. Most of them are against 4 s well.

I did an internet cram session on the four amendments before I left and said screw it. I do know I didn't vote for any amendments that Democrats liked.

I hear ya, but you have to be careful on that also. If a Dem member came up with the idea of putting it on a ballot, they would support it. If a Republican got it put on the ballot, they're against it. Same goes for the GOP. Both parties are petty fricks.
I wished we could get away from the fricking two party system and just let candidates inform the people on where they stand with issues and let the people decide on who they want to represent them based on the candidate's views. It'll never happen though.

Everything about the Arkansas hemp/weed laws simply stink of corruption and kickbacks and big corporate interest over the common farmer. frick them all.
Its virtually impossible to make any money as a indipendent hemp farmer in Arkansas because the grower can't sell directly to the market, and has to go through a middle man company that kills all of your profits. And that's just for hemp/cbd products.
Think what they will do with actual weed.
Keep voting no on everything.

I have multiple friends who have done that because the prices are half.
My cousin came in from Colorado and brought my grandma weed cream for her arthritis (she thought it was CBD). We tried getting her the stuff here and she claims it doesn’t work as good.

They deceptively word the amendments like this on purpose.
There was one a few years back that started out with using word play on freedom and justice etc. and it was the total opposite of that.

Seems like corporations are killing them Humboldt farmers in every state. New York had 6 licenses and you had to put up $2m and have over $10m in assets just to grow. Also had to have the buildings before you could even apply for those licenses. Ohio voted it down once because of the same..
Hell I think Phillip Morris owns patents on different weed strains already.

Main reason I voted no. This issue is made by and for the cabal running things in medical now. I'm fine with legal weed just not all the other shite in this.

Missouri's is just as bad and a guarantee to pass.
It allows home grow like medical though, 6+6 at a time.
Micro licenses (250 plants) can't sell direct either. Everyone will understand when it's all shitty Walmart weed and no craft cannabis.
Full year head start for existing medical too, gotta wait until 2024 if you're a new recreational business.

this 2 party system sucks.
a few months back, the PTB had a bill in committee pushing local, small municipalities to be forced to run as either a D or R. Really? The costs of elections would go up with primaries, etc.
And who gives a frick is a city councilman or jp in a small county/city is a D or R when they are voting on installing a new drainage pipe for the sewer causeway.
