Just to be clear — I make no statement related to how cannabis “should” be legal. I think it generally messes people up and contributes to an existing nationwide problem with mental illness. My comment is really an observation that the Democrats seem cynical enough to overturn federal laws on cannabis just to get votes and they wouldn’t spent two seconds worrying about any consequences for the people of America.

I will also observe that in states that have legalized cannabis, there is still a thriving black market and the crooks are still making money from cannabis and (I bet) the politicians are still getting kickbacks from illegal cannabis growers. For politicians, it’s the best of both worlds: tax revenue from legal cannabis, and under-the-table War On Drugs money because the crooks are still in business.
