re: Arkansas will get to vote on Recreational MJ in November. It's official.

Most of the stuff you're describing is the result of Progressives being in charge of everything. Anywhere there are progs in leadership, things go to shite. Refusing to enforce laws is a progressive thing.

Colorado also ramped up first, so they're a big producer and exporter to surrounding states. We can buy Colorado stuff here now, although at first when Medical was introduced, 90% of it was locally grown and manufactured.

Arkansas did medical in a relatively conservative way. It has gradually loosened over the years, but they require a certain percentage to be produced locally, and limited the number of licenses to grow and sell. It's pretty easily acquired by anyone who wants it now, anyway.

I don't foresee myself using more of it when it is legal recreationally. I'm no more likely to smoke it in public than I am now. I wouldn't expect a great deal of weed tourism from adjoining states. Oklahoma has the most lax "medical" laws I've ever heard of. It is basically already recreational 25 miles away from my house. People in Oklahoma just across the border grow it in their garages and literally anybody who wants a card for any reason whatsoever has one.
