I don’t recall many, if ANY, (L) argue vs. personal responsibility; much like smoking, drinking, etc.
(L) have also been consistent vs. States’ Rights; whereas many (R)\(C) are just as happy to violate the Constitution for their own ‘issue du jour’.
IMO, the only reason in the uptick of legalization is govt’s fingers into the tax $$ cow, to further enable their Socialist (anti-Rights) programs and leanings. Correct the latter and see what happens (2 birds 1 stone, no?).
Yes. And the potheads are fine with the expansion of the social state as long as pot is legal.
