If you had to speculate, WHY do you think Soros is spending so much money to get pot legalized?

I dunno? Because he's tired of spending money buying puppies to throw in the furnace?

Soros sees himself as an enlightened, progressive philanthropist to the world. In his kooky world vision, he sees his role as one that should weaken strong states in order to let his liberal ideas flourish, which is why he subsidizes all kinds of liberal pet projects around the world. Weird, but it's his money.

He's also a bitter enemy of Vladimir Putin.

I mention that because the enemy of my enemy can be my friend. While I'm ready to oppose 95% of what George Soros is up to, I'm more than happy to let him do some things I like. For instance, to royally piss off the Russian government, or to fund de-criminalization efforts in Massachusates.

I was happy to let JAM and AQI fight in the streets of Baghdad. I don't care what their motives were. I care about results.

And is this why he's spending so much money to legalize drugs?
