Thought it would be funny if legalizing weed was used as Major win for Biden before the inevitable gravitational well of the mid terms comes to bear rotten fruit.

    If I was a sociopathic Congress political "wonk," I'd do everything in my power to get that bill passed.

    Why?

    A lot of single issue voters would reward the passing for one election cycle, then tune out and stop caring entirely because that was the single issue they cared about, meaning all sorts of horrible stuff could then happen to hurt those same voters but they've already tuned out because they got that single issue passed so no consequences would occur after that.

      Most weed smokers already live in states where it's legal (I smoke myself), and there is exactly 0 people who give a shit about weed when it comes to voting. 0.

      I think your right but the doomer inside me is attempting to convince me other wise but also I cant deny that cannabis lobbying is a thing and that markets tend to never be left untaped if its not making someone money.
