I’ve never met one liveral who was against medical marijuana. To the contrary, every liberal I know ranges from indifferent to full bore obsessed with Mary Jane.

I can explain this discrepancy. The current bureaucracy descended from the early 20th Century union of progressives and the moral right, particularly the temperance movement. It was their collusion that created a sufficient majority to change and subvert the constitution and that remains the consensus today.
Your rank and file liberal has nothing against drugs, gambling, prostitution or abortion. But liberal officials maintain laws against the first three, and particularly drugs, to keep the big government moral right, like Scalia, in the coalition.
If drugs were legalized, the big government right would pull out and collapse the bureaucracy, and if the big government right pulled out to collapse progressivism, drugs would be legalized by default because the laws would be unconstitutional.
