Since then it has been a long and treacherous road, but most states (35 to be more exact) have legalized th

2020 has been particularly baked. Instagram feeds have been overloaded with photos of breads, cookies, pies and other comfort foods—even more than usual—in our attempts to manage Covid-related stress and stay occupied while trying out a new recipe.

The South may be quietly adjusting to the new legalization landscape. But for now, the good ol’ white guys prevail, and Christians have righteous morality straight from the Bible on their side. As of the November elections, there are now 15 states and the District of Columbia who have legalized adult use. There are some 36 states that enacted or vo
