Used to live in Springfield, live in Arkansas now. It failed because it was a truly terrible bill that would have allowed the states cannabis industry to be monopolized by out of state companies. A lot of people that support legalization voted against it because of how bad it was. Also, Arkansas is full of a bunch of “religious” nut jobs (yes, even more so than Springfield/Missouri) so it was an up hill battle even if it were a perfect amendment.
