NH has them too, and it’s some of the cheapest prices around. One of the biggest stores is right on the state line because people from MA cross the border to buy booze cheap.
It’s also the only place in the area that doesn’t have legal pot, and the theory is that lawmakers keep rejecting it until it’s federally legal because they want to make tax money on it just like they’ve done with liquor. Problem is that it doesn’t look like the feds are getting on board any time soon, and being the “live free or die” state with the only place with no weed when all the places its border touches have it is kind of embarrassing.

Yeah it’s pretty stupid. It’s like they’re not satisfied with just taxing it because they want to be the only game in town. Anyway for such a “libertarian” state it’s got some problems.
But as someone aware with Costco pushing hard to sell liquor and Costco being centered in Washington state, I would imagine they have pushed the legislation through by now.
Wyoming may have state run stores. The majority are not, but it’s up to the city and county to decide how they sell them. In one county I can go into Walmart and purchase liquor. In another it’s only liquor stores, in another the gas station sells liquor based slushies.
Every time I drive through Evanston always have to stop at the Maverik that has them. It’s the only one that I’ve ever seen that has it and it’s fantastic.
PA also has state run liquor stores. I always thought Ohio was the only other state.
Anywhoots, yea I think that is a good thing. And not just because it eases people into seeing how socialism is a good thing.
Utah and Idaho are both state run liquor stores.
Wooo! Someone mentioned my state!
So many more than I thought. Dayum.

Um… that is really odd. I used to live in Illinois, which has had legal weed for years, and they’ve been taxing it and raking in the dough all along. In fact, a lot of states with legal weed collect tax on the sale of it.

That makes no sense, because other states tax it when they sell it. If it’s legal to be sold in the state, why wouldn’t they be able to tax it?
Oregon and Washington too
Washington DC maybe I don’t know.

NC too. At least for a bit longer.
Just looked it up. States with ABC stores:
Though there are several asterisks.

I meant to link the wiki page, oops. Added it.
