Of course, if some eastern counties and southern counties are allowed to have a casino gambling center, they'll drop meth production in a flash and go with this as a way to make money.

you'd be amazed how much progress is held up by dry county rules. several businesses near here shuttered their regional offices, as there was no type of decent restaurants, etc, to go to when they had business to do.
much of northern louisiana still has sunday blue laws--a friend of ours had a son working as a waiter while in college. he hated working sundays as that's when the church crowd would come to eat, and they're lousy tippers.
