    Every politician says they will legalize weed if it gets them votes. No politician will ever actually legalize it though because then they lose one of their biggest platforms to draw voters. The single-minded boomer vote also disappears if he does legalize it.

      That’s what everyone thought about abortion until those maniacs did it. This would be different though since there isn’t as much backlash and then they can also say they have to protect it next election.

      I dunno, I sort of feel like Roe is the real holy grail here. I don’t think that most conservatives actually care about cannabis, but they are happy to enforce it because it causes people to suffer.
