“It’s the commoners who are driving legalization, not governments”

I don’t disagree.

Just saying that the reason governments have capitulated at this point in time is tax revenue. Same as why all of a sudden sports betting is fine and dandy, when not long ago it was a crime.

Asked another way, why would what was once seen as a vice now be legal and fine with the ‘authorities’? As is often said here: follow the money.

In a free society, the question is why a consensual adult vice is any business of the authorities.
