Dear Republicans - Is a Republican President likely to revert all progress made in decriminalizing/legalizing marijuana and ending the most failed parts of the failed war on drugs?


I get the feeling you all really really want the whitehouse and may have the momentum. If a republican president wins, assuming the Congress is also republican and/or broken/useless, do you think Republicans will fuck up all the progress we've made in legalizing marijuana? Given that Alaska is typically Republican and Colorado sort of is too, maybe not. But given the way Republicans have always been against it at the federal level, maybe so. Then again, states rights are good for Republicans when it comes to gay marriage, so maybe also pot? Although honestly I think this issue will be 1000% about for-profit prisons if there is a political agenda involved.


Regressing may be a deal breaker for me. I don't even like pot, but I sure as hell don't see any benefit in the way we've treated it for the past 20...uhhh 60 years (unless you count social harm to at-risk populations and prison profits as benefit --- and some people truly do)
