One thing’s for sure, it ain’t Texas.

80 years of prohibition is more than enough time for even dumb people to learn the dangers of prohibition, particularly when getting caught with weed in some backwoods state turns into a nightmarish matter of freedom or prison.

As eight states prepare to vote their conscience this November on the marijuana topic, poll after poll has repeatedly demonstrated that America’s changing demographic has had enough of the bad old days of duplicitous policy, and are anxious to join the marijuana revolution.

Early to the medical marijuana world, but late to the recreational, the Golden State has a total of 4,633,000 patients and recreational consumers. Thanks to its elevated population numbers, California ranks highest among total users, but only 12^th on a per capita basis.

Rolling out their list of the stoniest states in the union, 24/7 Wall St. has identified the following 12 states as the most Irie:

12. California – 14.9% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

11. Michigan – 15.6% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

10. New Mexico – 15.6% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

9. New Hampshire – 17.1% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

8. Massachusetts – 17.6% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

7. Rhode Island – 18.7% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

6. Maine – 19.4% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

5. Washington – 19.5% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

4. Alaska – 19.5% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

3. Vermont – 19.8% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

2. Oregon – 19.9% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

1. Colorado – 21.6% of the population get high or medicate with cannabis.

Witnessing the human carnage caused by the past frenzied generation, Americans have finally ripped their blinders off and have grasped the situation at hand – repealing marijuana prohibition is a matter of real freedom and true justice. Come this November, people will either vote for legalization and liberty, or prison and a descent back into hopeless craziness.
