(28,784 posts)Is because of the right wing benefit to drug laws that remove liberals, both black and white, from the voter rolls. That's what prompted Nixon to start this bullshit in the first place - to punish his political enemies on the left.
There are very wealthy special interests that do not want the law to change. They include the alcoholic beverage industry and the petroleum industry (because of hemp-based products that could replace petrol-based products.)
These aren't the only two, but I don't want you to continue to sit around in that vat of ignorance you are stewing in that allows you to make ridiculous claims, by pretending this is not an issue that demonstrates how undemocratic processes in the U.S. have become.
You can look at polls (though I know you won't because, in the past, you have simply chosen to deny the overwhelming evidence from every single poll that indicates support for legal, not decriminalized, medical marijuana at the least.)
What does that say about you - that you deny reality in order to support your belief? Because that is what you have done on this site since the moment I saw a post from you here regarding this issue.
What do you have to say that has any value or worth when you have demonstrated you choose willful ignorance over fact?
