See South Dakota, where a constitutional amendment passed on the ballot but the asshole governor is still trying to block it in court. One of her main reasons? Setting up the new licensing laws would cost ~$4 million dollars and the predicted tax revenue of $10 million a year won't come in til 2022 at the earliest. How they can make that argument with a straight face is beyond me.

Look at what happened in Idaho. They past joint resolution 101 and now it's part of the State Constitution where even if the voters vote to legalize it will never be allowed. Totally Insane.
It's not in the constitution until voters approve it in 2022.
Idaho organizers have work to do.
Reading the text of joint resolution 101, I can’t see how it would ban cannabis but not alcohol. I’m not a lawyer though.
The bill defines "psycoactive drug" as: any amount or mixture thereof of any schedule I or schedule II controlled substance
This is Idaho, remember?
