I think if any hardcore Red state would decriminalize it/medicalize it we would be towards the top...
1) We border Mexico and obviously this drug cartel is getting huge
2) When California starts making billions off of it, why would we, another very populated state with plenty of people who smoke, not do the same thing?
3) I think it helps that our state capital is in Austin, a very very pot friendly area

Who knows, every election year it seems like 2 more states are decriminalizing it or accepting its medical use. We are currently at 13 states I believe, so 1/4 of our country's states have accepted it. With Obama's more accepting policy on it, I would not be surprised if the number is closer to twenty when he leave office (assuming he gets reelected, which isn't hard to do anymore it seems). So I think things are looking up.
