I’ve found that the same people who are on the pot bandwagon here on FR tend to be the same people who absolutely DESPISE the police; not just the misbehaviors, but the entire police function. Some even applaud when police are assaulted or disrespected.

I’d suspect that they had a few too many run-ins with them growing up (or even now.)

And the ones who advocate prohibition are clearly tied in with the drug cartels that want to make sure legal weed doesn't cut into their business. Simple as that. We can make all the generalizations you want!

In my childhood, one of my cousins was prone to such hyperbolic generalizations. His propensity for outrageous puffery was so bad, friends would often start laughing whenever he opened his mouth. His was a classic case of being a walking joke, and it followed him throughout his life.

Friend, plenty of decent, cop supporting conservatives, also support the decriminalization of marijuana.
