Kansas Weed Arrests Haven't Spiked Despite Legal Marijuana Proliferation

Sign of the times and a tacit admission that the Sunflower State is also a "kind" destination that doesn't really have the resources to crack down on SO MANY Johnson County stoners. 

Whilst we're tempted to giggle at the predicament . . . It's also clear that Kansas conservatives are content to lose out on NEARLY ONE BILLION BUCKS worth of revenue whilst the rest of the nation profits from a legal cash crop boom.

Check-it:

"Even with that new, easy access to legal weed, fewer people face arrest in Kansas on marijuana charges. Prosecutors and police remain obliged to enforce the state’s prohibition on cannabis — Kansas is one of only 11 states that outlaw marijuana even for medical purposes — but generally make it less of a priority.

"So, while statistics are still taking shape in a state bordered by three states where medical and recreational sales are legal, arrests on cannabis charges and seizures of illegal weed appear on the decline or at least flattening out."
