Politicians didn’t “allow” anything. The referendum process was already in the state constitutions where it’s been legalized.

Politicians in the Swamp love the war on drugs.

Of course they allowed it. They just used the referendum process for political cover and to gain what they wanted---more products that they can tax.

Of course it is the state's constitution. It is a tool at their disposal and they used it after a prolonged ad campaign touting why it was beneficial to have pot legalized. The ads were used to take the stigma off the growing, processing and selling of it, which is taxed at every level.

Whether the referendum process was used or some other means to gain the end, is not significant or relevant. The result is that a lot of people are buying it and getting stoned.

Enough said!!!
