“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.
Most people are “happy” when they’re high.
