Definitely agree. LA will be among the last, but it is a positive sign that at least it is coming up for a vote and there are some R's that are behind it.
It won't pass, but it sets it up to recalibrate and vote again in bout 5-10 years, after it is de-criminalized at the Federal level.

Part of what’s aiding the weed bills in the legislature this year is another bill that taxes weed and sends the revenue to all the usual suspects that oppose weed. The po po get a cut, the teachers union gets one, the hospitals, etc. By making sure that the folks who normally oppose weed are getting a payoff from it, the weed bills are suddenly sailing through with bipartisan support in the house. However, I fear that will change in the Senate.

Yep, they are about to build a YUGE new prison in St Gabriel. They need bodies to put in those cells one way or another or funding will dry up.

Louisiana Sheriffs Association will definitely do everything in their power to fight the legalization of cannabis. They don't want to cut off their gravy train that is asset forfeitures. They don't want to lose that all of that cash and properties that they seize.
They should have no say so in this whatsoever. They're job is to enforce the laws, not create them.
The most recent poll taken showed that 67% of Louisiana voters favor the legalization of cannabis.
Why are the citizens of Louisiana not allowed to exercise their right to vote on this???

DA and sheriff offices official statement stance literally is that they are worried that legalized marijuana will lead to an increase in organized crime and teen suicide.... such fear mongering BS
