thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 1 month agoOk, 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.
