"For the GOP, everything's about money."

Yeah. Right... Because for your local pot dealer it's all about the love. Right?
Which explains why the give the shit away for free…

(Bet it becomes all about "revenue" that the government can "invest" once the Democrats figure out they could tax that shit).

Farmers in states where prohibition will string out are concerned they'll lose market share.

Yet another "this person agrees with me but for what I think are the wrong reasons so fuck them" post on Slog, huh

If some Republicans are drawing the conclusion that their espoused opposition to intrusive government regulation means that they are pro-legalization, I say welcome aboard.
