This leftist senator has minimal support. Something like this will never happen, particularly with the current right wing government.


If the US gets national legalized weed under an aggressively centrist Biden administration, and then the likes of Phillip Morris gobble up much of the industry, expect the situation abroad to change really fast.


if that happens, I fully expect everyone here to about face on legalization just as fast as they about faced on the joys of urban living when corona hit. They probably would make the marketing they did with vapes look like a college project compared to this.


Not even relevant. Right wing supporters control all the industries and therefore the government.

Drugs can be legal in all other countries in America (north and south) and we will still be radicalized about the idea of legalization.


Right-wing moralists do not control industry.

Right wing moralist and capitalists have aligned themselves with a common enemy, but the capitalists can break that coalition whenever they want, and generally prefer to maintain relations with all major political parties. (Don't underestimate deaccelerationist business support for Biden.)


I am writing about Colombian capitalists. They seem to align themselves with the extreme right, including paramilitary forces.


Semi-legal industry ever could still fit their interests. Like as in Russia.
