Last I checked, cannabis was still DEA Schedule 1 fully illegal, despite a majority of Americans wanting it.

American policy isn’t decided by the people, it’s decided by the people in power, and the people in power make money by keeping us tied to inefficient transportation
You really are taking this stance, purposely ignoring the progress made on Marijuana?
Really. Evaluate your life. If you can’t even have a discussion in good faith, what are you doing?
The abortion issue came because nobody considered the circumstance we’re in where the supreme court would upright and turn over 30+ years of settled law. Inroads are being made on turning it back - as abortion access was always (historically) a lever that government controlled in order to be able to control population incline/decline. We’ve moved forward with our thinking and regard it as a human right now.
Just admit that “I really want it” is absolutely a valid reason for policy change. You got something wrong, it’s fine. We all do sometimes. Unless you’ve got MAGA-brain.
It really is though. Why do you think Marijuana is being legalized? It’s because “I really waaaaaaant it”…is literally grounds for policy making.
