I just have no patience for people that would rather continue to imprison people and deny medical treatment, simply to prevent a few companies from making the money on it.

well, medical marijuana doesn't help with incarceration rates for recreational use, so 1/2

The only reason it would be difficult to change the proposed law post passage would be because people would become complacent to pushing for progress on it. Not because it would technically be difficult to modify the text of it.

It's because the structural way that laws are changed. To modify the law requires legislative action or a signature drive to relitigate the issue through a direct ballot intiative to veto the previous amendment.

Only the people who fund those ballot initiatives for medical marijuana don't have any reason to relitigate it in Arkansas now that there's a monopoly, it is much more lucrative to change the law else where to open up an entirely new market. Plus, it would require two separate ballot measures passing at the same time to work. It's a much heavier lift both technically and due to the public will, yeah.

Further more, the bill allowed for growing your personal stash.

whoa what a hypocrite who cares it helps patients and stops incarceration remember? I thought complaining about these kind of minutiae was BAD?

It really seems like cutting your nose to spite your face. Legalization proponents that voted against it, I just can't take any of their arguments for weed legalization seriously. There's a profound inconsistency.

well if you still feel that way after learning about the process that is now required we simply disagree
