I'm hoping Alabama is.
In Arizona, there are tons of old people saying "I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!". Hahaha.

full banning is one thing. Having a law that makes it where you can't buy alcohol from a liquor store, grocery store, etc to bring home on Sunday, but still allows you to drink in public places, restaurants, bars, etc, and then drive home is fucking stupid.

Least you guys don't have this shit in addition to no alcohol on sundays...
"As of today, South Carolina blue laws prohibit sporting events and non-essential businesses from operating on Sundays before 1:30 p.m. with the exception of events on college campuses and motorsport events of a minimum distance of 250 miles (402 kilometres). Many counties and towns in high-tourist areas have repealed this. Places such as gas stations and grocery stores are exempt as well."

Not as fucked up as this law of ours. We can't sell sex toys unless you have a doctors note.
Quote:
The statute was originally sponsored by State Senator Tom Butler of Madison, Alabama as a measure to prohibit nude dancing.[3] It prohibits "any person to knowingly distribute, possess with intent to distribute, or offer or agree to distribute any obscene material or any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for any thing of pecuniary value."[4] First time offenders face a $10,000 fine and a year in prison, while repeat offenders can face up to ten years in prison.[4] Exemptions exist for "bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial or law enforcement purposes."[5] The law's most outspoken backers have been a coalition of Conservative Christians led by Dan Ireland of the Alabama Citizens' Action Program. Ireland has defended the law on the grounds that "laws are made to protect the public" and "sometimes you have to protect the public against themselves."[6]

GA's not gonna be last to do it, but they're certainly do it kicking and screaming when it does happen.
Though we do have a medical marijuana law. It's this really really really unknown thing from the 80's. No one uses it though.

TITLE 43. PROFESSIONS AND BUSINESSES CHAPTER 34. PHYSICIANS, ACUPUNCTURE, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, CANCER AND GLAUCOMA TREATMENT, RESPIRATORY CARE, CLINICAL PERFUSIONISTS, AND ORTHOTICS AND PROSTHETICS PRACTICE ARTICLE 5. USE OF MARIJUANA FOR TREATMENT OF CANCER AND GLAUCOMA
O.C.G.A. § 43-34-121 (2009)
§ 43-34-121. Legislative intent
(a) The General Assembly finds and declares that the potential medicinal value of marijuana has received insufficient study due to a lack of financial incentives for the undertaking of appropriate research by private drug manufacturing concerns. Individual physicians cannot feasibly utilize marijuana in clinical trials because of federal governmental controls which involve expensive, time-consuming approval and monitoring procedures.
(b) The General Assembly further finds and declares that limited studies throughout the nation indicate that marijuana and certain of its derivatives possess valuable and, in some cases, unique therapeutic properties, including the ability to relieve nausea and vomiting which routinely accompany chemotherapy and irradiation used to treat cancer patients. Marijuana also may be effective in reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients who do not respond well to conventional medications.
(c) The General Assembly further finds and declares that, in enabling individual physicians and their patients to participate in a state-sponsored program for the investigational use of marijuana and its derivatives, qualified physicians and surgeons throughout the state will be able to study the benefits of the drug in a controlled clinical setting, and additional knowledge will be gained with respect to dosage and effects.
(d) It is the intent of the General Assembly in enacting this article to permit research into the therapeutic applications of marijuana and its derivatives in cancer and glaucoma patients. This would allow qualified physicians approved by the Patient Qualification Review Board created by Code Section 43-34-124 to provide the drug on a compassionate basis to seriously ill persons suffering from the severe side effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatment and to persons suffering from glaucoma who are not responding to conventional treatment, which persons would otherwise have no lawful access to it. It is the further intent of the General Assembly to facilitate clinical trials of marijuana and its derivatives, particularly with respect to persons suffering from cancer and glaucoma who would be benefited by use of the drug.
(e) This article is limited to clinical trials and research into therapeutic applications of marijuana only for use in treating glaucoma and in treating the side effects of chemotherapeutic agents and radiation and should not be construed as either encouraging or sanctioning the social use of marijuana. Nothing in this article shall be construed to encourage the use of marijuana in lieu of or in conjunction with other accepted medical treatment, but only as an adjunct to such accepted medical treatment.
HISTORY: Code 1933, § 84-902A, enacted by Ga. L. 1980, p. 82, § 1; Ga. L. 2009, p. 859, § 1/HB 509.

TITLE 43. PROFESSIONS AND BUSINESSES CHAPTER 34. PHYSICIANS, ACUPUNCTURE, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS, CANCER AND GLAUCOMA TREATMENT, RESPIRATORY CARE, CLINICAL PERFUSIONISTS, AND ORTHOTICS AND PROSTHETICS PRACTICE
ARTICLE 5. USE OF MARIJUANA FOR TREATMENT OF CANCER AND GLAUCOMA O.C.G.A. § 43-34-126 (2009) § 43-34-126. Immunity of program participants from state prosecution for possession or use of authorized marijuana
Patient participants in the program are immune from state prosecution for possession of marijuana as authorized by this article and under the program established in this article. A person authorized under this program shall not possess an amount of marijuana in excess of the amount prescribed under the authority of this article. The amount prescribed shall be maintained in the container in which it was placed at the time the prescription was filled. Physician, pharmacy, and pharmacist participants in the program are immune from state prosecution for possession, distribution, and any other use of marijuana, which use is authorized such persons by this article. Any such possession, distribution, or other use not authorized by this article shall be enforced and punished as provided in Chapter 13 of Title 16, relating to controlled substances and dangerous drugs, and Chapter 4 of Title 26, relating to pharmacists and pharmacies.
HISTORY: Code 1933, § 84-907A, enacted by Ga. L. 1980, p. 82, § 1; Ga. L. 1992, p. 1634, § 1; Ga. L. 2009, p. 859, § 1/HB 509.

Shit! how many votes left??
-------------------- December 1960: "They took the drug one evening at Leary's house and had a profound experience, during which Ginsburg prophetically realized that it was a time to start "a peace and love movement". He then ran naked around the house, attempted to get Kruschev and Kennedy on the telephone and announced to the operator that he was God."
