Reply to comment by CarlinHicksCross in Bill to Decriminalize Psilocybin in Connecticut Advances Out of Committee by NewsHugh

Another useless Republican with a dumb ass uneducated opinion just for the sake of blocking something a democrat came up with.

Nah I think it’s more nefarious than that. They get campaign money (D’s and R’s both) from the liquor stores and whatnot. This is why supermarkets couldn’t sell liquor. I feel for the mom and pop shops, but at the end of the day most people are going to continue their habits of purchasing from what’s convenient rather than price. To mention big pharma and whoever else has an interest in this stuff not getting legalized.

That being said, as another commenter below mentioned, it’s both whack ass parties. We could be making more tax revenue that could be kicked back to useful programs or lower our taxes (an insane idea that could actually work) but instead we have a bunch of rich people running the poor show. Sucks.
