Republicans and Weed, It’s Complicated

While Republicans tout their moral philosophy and public outrage at the thought of a “drug being legalized” – they obey but one GOD. That is the GOD of Money! We can see many conservatives jump ship the moment they begin to see the dollar bills run in. Furthermore, the Republican ethos is “Leave it up to the states” and while they may be federally more likely to stand in opposition of legalization, the recent surge in legalization efforts in Red states indicate that there is a dissonance between representation and the represented.
