Listening to NPR on the way home with a dealer in a disguised voice telling of his need to move to New York because there is no money in selling weed in California, where its semi legal in the guise of medicinal prescriptions.
It's the authoritarian element of the Republican Party that keeps putting it at odds with the younger electorate. Just as the GOP's opposition to single sex marriage is a loser so is their opposition to the legalization of marijuana. Young well educated voters understand the basic economics of shortage raising prices to levels where crime pays sufficiently to corrupt the crime stoppers. Regulating and taxing the marijuana business is not a Libertarian nor Authoritarian ideal, but I would make the exception. I doubt Republican's would on their side.
