It is a very reliable axiom that whatever the Marxist left is for, conservatives can be reliably against to be right.
So why are some professing conservatives for drug legalization?
“So why are some professing conservatives for drug legalization?”
This conservative only speaks for himself. That said, I support the legalization of cannabis because Fedzilla IMO unconstitutionally criminalized cannabis.
As a medical marijuana patient here in Florida I believe cannabis has medicinal value & should be legally available for citizens who wish to use it under the care of their doctor.
Since I began using cannabis in 2015 to treat chronic depression & anxiety my quality of life has greatly improved (as has my wife’s—she doesn’t use cannabis but depression is very hard on the other spouse, I assure you), I’m so much more physically active—weather permitting I walk 1-2 miles everyday, I’m active in my Church life like never before & the quality of my work has greatly improved as well.
That’s why I support the full legalization of cannabis.
This conservative has observed that drug criminalization has done far more to enrich criminals, with all the ills that follow, than it has to reduce drug use - much like Prohibition of the drug alcohol did.
