This could be the solution to towns affected by the closings of so many factories. There is good and bad in it.

1. The town is still dying but.....

.....it’s all good now, man........

2. No different than alcohol in my opinion.

In fact, weed may be safer.

3. Cotton Plant, AR

The irony here is that I literally just heard about that town last week on Joe Madison's show as part of one of his black history factoids for March 20th. And it had to do with the generally unknown and underappreciated black female gospel singer and guitar player - Sister Rosetta Tharpe, dubbed the "Godmother of Rock and Roll", who was born there.

Madison even had a caller who called in to say he had been born there. The town is currently 75% black. That town has been perennially "economically depressed" (outside of post-WW2) even back when she was born there in 1915. Her mother moved her and the family out to eventually settle in the north.

5. This sounds grand.. but isn't Marijuana

illegal in Arkansas.. especially if Sessions has anything to say about it?

Medical Marijuana does work wonders for people. Amazingly beneficial plant.. if it were legal.. all kinds of places could be in business.
