Ok, you’ve got me puzzled. What’s a US state named after a UK (or English) queen where cannabis is legal ?
The only female named states I can think of are Georgia, Virginia and Louisiana, none of whom have been Regent.

I’ve enjoyed the other answers but I was thinking of Maryland, named after Queen Henrietta Maria of France, wife of King Charles I. Legal weed since last year.

Virginia is actually named for Elizabeth I, the “Virgin Queen.”
