Exactly.
It should be a state issue.
Just like o if the Democrats gave up on the gun grabbing.
In both cases, the single-issue (or nearly so) voters would be less likely to come out.
LOTS of 2nd amendment types I know who *only* support the Republican party because the Democrats are so nuts about guns.
And we have knuckle-dragging drug warriors on the conservative side who trot out every idiotic reason for regulating cannabis and and even a few goons who would approve a second attempt at prohibition. It they would just STFU and legalize it, it would cost a LOT of votes to the Democrats.
Regardless of what one thinks of ‘single-issue’ voters, once they get into the booth their vote counts as much as anyone’s. Lots of Republican votes come from RKBA people who dislike a lot of the platform. Lots of Democratic votes come from people who want to be able to buy weed, and even use a credit card to do so.
IMHO drugs are not a federal issue. What a person puts in their body is no business of anyone unless and until they drive or do something that deprives another person of life liberty or property, just as what any of us carry on our persons or in our homes is likewise so.
Well said!
