Is recreational marijuana going to ever come up for a vote here?
Irrelevant.
Hawaii County passed a referendum to decriminalize marijuana; County and State decided it was "not enforceable due to Federal pre-emption".
Assuming recreational marijuana legislation made it to the governor's desk, he would simply veto it.
very well connected people paid a lot of money to get those marijuana dispensary permits
How's that working out for them? They would probably support recreational sales if their existing licenses were extended to allow this.
That said ... if the restrictions/requirements were anything like those written for medical marijuana, nobody would participate in the recreational program. The upside of a black market is that your purchases are relatively anonymous.
