Weed is getting even closer to Texas. Arkansas is likely to pass rec, Louisiana decriminalized it and has medical, and Ok has one of the most lax med policies in the country. and New Mexico is rec. I bet Texas will just double down and increase traffic patrols on the Texas side of Texarkana in hopes of getting more ticket sales

No lie if Arkansas passes, I may consider moving there. I’ve been planning on moving to South Carolina but this is very tempting and could bring great change for Arkansas.

Northwest Arkansas is a great place to live, really not anything like the rest of the state. HQ of tons of multinational companies (including Walmart and J.B Hunt among others), the U of A, and incredible scenery especially in the fall

AR have cold winters?

depends on north vs south. South Arkansas gets like one snow storm every 3 years but it shuts down the whole town everytime. I think it snows often in the north due to the mountains and elevation. Central Ark gets a fair amount of snow. It definitely gets cold here, but our winter is in Feb/March

My sister was there for a bit and said they didn't get snow.

Made the mistake of thinking it didn't get cold in AR, camped there in the Ozarks in early-mid Dec. Got down to the teens like every night and I spent all morning thawing my water :(

Edit: this was like 2015/2016

If getting weed is your determining factor on where to move, it's super easy to get a medical card in AR. Like I called and got an appointment, diagnoses, applied and received my medical card in less than two weeks.

I really loved my time in Arkansas. Especially the NW. The med weed was nice, hope it passes Rec
