Whatever, puff puff pass, dude
You forget. "but weed is bad tho" trumps all other weed arguments and to these bigots, anyone that disagrees is considered a useless stoner that deserves no opinion. They probably won't be able to overturn the abortion one but the weed one I'm sure is already off the books.
Except that argument gets shot down by all the other states that have already legalized, and the current considerations at the national level to also decriminalize it. Even a significant percentage of Republicans recently polled indicated support for it. The bogus, totally ineffective war on weed is slowly coming to an end, dragging them kicking and screaming until they eventually stfu.
I hope so.
It’s even gotten absurdly easy for us to renew our cards. Was once a year, had to be an office visit where they interrogated you about how bad your issues still were, wait for your card in the mail. Now it’s every two years and, in large part because of covid, you pay your card fees in advance on the state website, then it’s a phone call with the doctor’s office where they just basically ask “is it still helping? Symptoms ok? Everything alright?” for like 5 mins and then you’re approved, and can print your card from the website.
edit: and my dispensary gave me 50% off my next purchase if I did it before my old card expired. They are awesome. See here:

edit2: I still think it’s kinda crazy that years ago I had to keep it under wraps for numerous reasons and now I’m a card carrying drug user who can casually place an order on a public website, with discounts and a rewards program. Progress, brah.
Judging from the change here the last few years after finally getting dispensaries (first state with medical marijuana laws, took until 2017-ish for us to finally have places to acquire it legally), the opposition keeps decreasing. I know a few people who years ago were adamantly, religiously against it, and now they’re like “yeah, my son has a medical card.” I think we already got reciprocal state access covered, and recreational without a card is in the works.
