Nah. Too much money to be made from for profit prisons, locking black people up, and bloating already inflated police budgets.
America is an oligarchy. You have to remember that any sort of sensible policy will cost certain people money.
You legalize weed, then that means that men who were selling it on the street can use the money they've earned to open up their own legitimate shop and cash in on people who already know them as a dealer spreading the word.
You legalize weed, then that means that black people will have more economic opportunities.
You legalize weed and that reduces the strength of the cartels thus necessitating a decrease in funding for ICE and border agents. They've been getting fat off government subsidies and funding. They don't want these refugees fleeing from violence to suddenly stop coming because that means they don't get to live out their Rambo fantasies of toting high powered hardware and tactical gear.
It's extremely funny and depressing at the same time that a country literally above America has done everything that conservatives want you to believe is evil and will ruin everything and yet there's no migrant crisis of Canadians rushing to come into America. Weed has been legal there for at least 4 years now, they have public Healthcare, gun restrictions, and lots of immigrants and yet it hasn't turned into a dystopia like mad max or escape from NY
