The legislature failed to placate Morgan, or at least avoided giving him what he wanted, when it tried to make available a form of medical marijuana with a strain of THC from a source known as Charlotte’s Web, so Morgan took the issue to the people again and by a stunning near 3-1 margin; voters embraced the concept of medical marijuana. What that means is debatable, but even the GOP’s biggest apologists could not create excuses to explain how the Republican-led legislature has failed in its legislative duties on this issue.

You see, the tiny libertarian wing of the GOP and most legislative Democrats are all for medical marijuana. They likely would legalize recreational marijuana if they had the votes.
