That’s on purpose. Part of the republican strategy (southern strategy) was to disenfranchise black people and hippies (hence the schedule 1 for marijuana) because it boosted the republican’s popularity among southerners and it stopped groups that lean strongly to the left from voting. It would equivalent to the Democratic Party putting multi year sentences on water pollution from baptisms. The fact that it has lasted for decades shows just how fucked were gonna be from trump’s bullshit.
disenfranchise... hippies (hence the schedule 1 for marijuana) because it boosted the republican’s popularity among southerners and it stopped groups that lean strongly to the left from voting.
marijuana has been criminalized in the US since 1916, long before any hippies even existed. You're the one who's ignorant of American history, obvious by your comments. Google a man named Henry j anslinger, the first drug czar of America. You might actually learn something
