"Alaska is a pressure cooker for this kind of thing for several reasons. Long winter, lack of year round jobs, lack of social structure due to shortage of matching pairs of women, collision of alien cultures, no coherent social theory, no coherent political theory, ever changing short-time itinerant population..."

Sounds like a justification fer cutting them some slack...LOL!! It's interesting that the Federales haven't cracked down on them fer their legal stance on pot to date. Reckon Alaska's lack of a border with any other States works to their advantage in this instance.

Having a State in which Marijuana is legal will be an intewresting test case, though...if the sky doesn't fall and the society doesn't implode, it will undercut the claims of the Pro-WOSD folks.

FReegards...MUD

Not really. As you say, Alaska lack a border with other US states. Because of that, we'll not see the trans-border problems, similar to those that existed when adjacent state drinking ages were different (eg., the "blood border" between Illinois and Wisconsin).
