Why are Trump and the Republicans so obsessed with keeping weed banned?

Why are Trump and the Republicans so obsessed with keeping weed banned?

It's like they want to give lazy, degenerate college whites a reason to come out and vote for Democrats in 2018/2020. What practical reason could they possibly have?

The only thing I can think of are Evangelicals and/or tobacco/alcohol/prison lobbying.

Idk but if trump doesn’t make weed apart of his platform in 2020 he’s retarded

Cause they can't stand disagreement or when someone tells them to fuck off. Trump thinks the whole world is his fucking friend.Tillerson even tried to negotiate with terrorist.

It might be okay to smoke on rare occasions, but eventually you'll smoke it everyday.
It takes away your ambition and motivation to succeed.
It fucks your memory, makes you lazy and is incredibly unhealthy to smoke (worse than tobacco).
Being stoned is a giant waste of time and should not be encouraged or condoned.

> t. addict for 10 years

He needs to just do it before the 2018 election or he's gonna lose his majority in Congress.

Because they don't want kike degeneracy.
SAGE

Is alcohol and tobacco also kike degeneracy?

Because it makes darkies think they're as good as white men. Pic related, our first "drug czar."

MUH WEED THREAD
smoke in the privacy of your own home you stupid faggot and stop talking about muh weed like you just discovered it.

If Drumpf and the Republicucks came out in favor of just 2 issues - universal healthcare and legal weed, they would = Bernie and render Democraps irrelevant for at least a generation or two

Just because you're an addictive personality degenerate, doesn't mean other people are.

saving the earth from genocidal psychopaths seems more important to me than legalizing weed
seriously fuck normies and their flaccid minds that can only think as far as their next high

What makes you think reps will lose majority in 2018?

Because the industrial varieties (virtually no THC) produce more than four times the cellulose per acre compared to trees, and require less chemistry to make into paper. The USA is one of the only countries that does not make a distinction between drug and non-drug varieties. This is to protect the tree-paper chemical industry, DuPont in particular, which owes its current size to hemp prohibition. The real money is in industrial hemp, but not in the USA, if the powers that be can help it. This is the real reason it was outlawed. Pic related.

International Harvester had just patented new hemp processing machinery about the same time as DuPont invented a new kind of tree paper chemistry. DuPont's banker was Andrew Mellon, of Mellon Bank. Mellon was also Secretary of the Treasury, and the Federal Bureau of Narcotics was originally under the Treasury Department. Mellon's nephew-in-law was Harry Anslinger, first head of the FBN, now called the DEA under the Justice Department.

only a waste of time if u csant afford it

I sit around all day sober. I smoke and then get motivated and imaginative about future possibilities.

Maybe these are both anecdotes and we're talking about the legality of a fucking plant.

Its a gateway drug which breeds liberal, socialist, progressivism

Long term marijauna use takes off 15 points off someone's IQ. So by smoking weed long term the average white regresses to the IQ level of an African-American, and a African American regresses to the average IQ of his non-European admixtured African brethren. Weed smoking basically takes people who are either useful or relatively useful and makes them relatively useful or retarded in the long run.

Because their pals in pharma don't like how medical pot keeps people from getting hooked to opioids: rand.org/pubs/working_papers/WR1130.html

> I sit around all day sober. I smoke and then get motivated and imaginative about future possibilities.
It does make you think about future possibilities.
But have you ever truly worked to achieve those things while stoned.
Or even the day after when you're sober.

Nothing but pipe dreams
