How are they working to get this done when we haven't even voted on it but they can't seem to pass anything that has to do with fantasy sports or sport gambling even though we voted on that and approved it years ago.

The issue with sports gambling is a battle between the big licensed casinos and video poker casinos. John Georges wants sports gambling at the truck stop casinos to feed his video poker empire. The big casinos want sports gambling only at the licensed casinos like the Belle, Harrah’s, and L’Auberge. End result is no one gets sports gambling.

Odds are, something similar is going to happen with recreational weed if passed.

The pharmacies who are licensed to distribute medical want to keep their exclusive rights to being the only distributors for recreational as well. LSU and Southern want to keep their duopoly on growing pot. The bars and alcohol distributors want to be able to sell pot in bars, and so do grocers. Ag folks want to be able to commercially grow pot as a row crop like soybeans.

The real fight won’t be over making it legal, but who gets to grow and sell it.
