I don’t know what your point is, maybe it is that politicians are not always on a direct line to their constituents goals.

I do know that the left wants drugs legalized.

My point is that the left does not want to end the drug war. At best, they're bartering safe passage through the war zone in exchange for enough votes, but they have no interest in ending the war. If they did that they wouldn't hve anything to barter with.

The left loves the drug war. It helps centralize power and authority in DC, and gives them cover by making the right complicit in their abuse of the Commerce Clause.
