    I disagree. Ultimately, republicans want 3 things: money, power, and exclusivity. If they can somehow make tons of money off marijuana when no one else can, they would be all for it. Basically they perpetually want Rules for Thee Not for Me.

    So maybe they would revert it, but if they could find a way to make it theirs only, they would.

      It would have to generate more money than the associated prison sentences generate, and the value of slave labor is about to skyrocket.

      That’s in fact precisely what John “crying orange leather face” Boehner did
