I don't think any states have gone backwards.
Most states have gone forward.
We find in Kentucky we don't have adult use, but I think we've just legalized the medical use.
But the way medical works, it's still strictly by state.
So you have to have physicians who decide to prescribe it, farmers who decide to grow it.
And it's a little bit of a niche industry.
