Besides, Soros is not the only person funding marijuana legalization initiatives

But he is the main one. Other progressives supporting the pro-drug movement with millions are Sperling and Lewis.

Again though, these are just three people out of millions and millions out there from various backgrounds with various core beliefs who happen to agree that marijuana should be legal. Just because we agree on that one point does not mean we all agree on everything else. These guys are billionaires and for whatever reason they are giving a tiny fraction of their fortunes to marijuana law reform groups. They are not the only people who support the reform of our marijuana laws. They're just the filthy rich ones. I've given a lot of money over the course of my life but probably less than $50.00 to marijuana reform groups. Most of us don't have piles of money to give and when we do give we're going to give to our church or other worthy charities in our community. Although I think reforming our marijuana laws is a worthy cause it has to take a low priority when I'm deciding what to do with my money. If I was a gozillionaire like these other guys I would probably give several hundred thousand or a million or two a year to marijuana legalization initiatives like each one of them do, but as is the case for those guys the money I gave for marijuana initiatives would only be a small fraction of my total charitable contributions.
