Thanks for the info. Yeah, 20/20 hurts. I hope those reading this from the diminishing pool of "wide-open" states take the lesson and petition for reasonable regulation, to forestall unreasonable regulation.

I'm hoping to see some good news in my state within the next 2 months. A blanket ban may be relaxed just a bit, with a permit system and access to a couple of the common native taxa.

If I may be so bold, I have a reading suggestion - A Tolerable Anarchy, by Jedediah Purdy. He's an Ivy League law prof; he writes about the tensions between liberty and order, through the lens of American history. It's not a "pop screed", rather an exceptionally-well researched and -presented exposition of our great experiment. At least take a look at some reviews - it's incredible.

Best,
Jimi
