Marijuana will not be legalized. Too many lawyers, drug counselors, probation officers etc. make too much money on it being illegal.

“Marijuana will not be legalized. Too many lawyers, drug counselors, probation officers etc. make too much money on it being illegal.”

I think you meant “relegalized”.

In the same vein: “Alcohol will not be relegalized. Too many laywers, doctors, probation officers, judges and elected officials make too much money (and get too much power) from it being illegal.” - Elliot Ness.

OK, I made up the quote - but I hope you get the point.

BTW, Anslinger was a lying a-hole, and the whole rationale of criminalizing cannabis in the first place was a crock. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. ;-)

It’s long past time that reform occured and we stop ruining people’s lives over nothing more than “the pursuit of happiness”.

Too many lawyers, drug counselors, probation officers and drug lords etc. make too much money on it being illegal.

I added an appropriate class of miscreants.
