Which state around the LSU area will be next to offer recreational pot?

NM

I go to Mountain View ark 2 or 3 times a year. I was floored to find a medical marijuana shop there. You can't even buy a beer there but there's pot. Don't have a card so I just drive pass. Also have a wife that thinks it's the devils lettuce.

It will probably be Arkansas.

I have access to so much stuff now, its kinda stupid.

Older people who never would have bought weed, now use it regularly for pain relief, etc. Oklahoma's medical laws are practically just registered recreational, it's so easy to get and so cheap. I know people who have gotten cards across the state line. I have two family members who have medical cards here in Arkansas. Both claimed "anxiety".

I believe we will have it on the ballot this fall.

Arkansas voters passed medical in 2016, but the legislature fricked around with it for two years. We were VERY close to passing medical in 2012.

I could see us passing recreational. The anti-Dem sentiment here right now means we have a legislature full of fundies, so they'll fight it tooth and nail, no matter what the voters decide.

Medical here has loosened up quite a bit since it was enacted, at least in practice. In NWA and in western Arkansas in general, the proximity to Oklahoma and their laws have made it where pretty much every single person I know has gummies and smoke. My 70 year old parents who voted against it have discovered the pain-relief aspect of it and keep it around.
