Democrats have historically been anti-weed because 1) They're all Old 2) They've always been scared shitless by the right winger's anti drug crusading, so have always been compelled to appear "tougher on Crime" than Republicans. From Tip O'Neill, who doubled down on the "Mandatory Minimums" craze in the mid 80's, to Obama, who had to be Timid about anything that upset rightwingers, from weed to gay marriage, which seems ridic because they all think he's the AntiChrist anyhow. Now you have Biden, who is Older than Moses. No, don't gimme any of that Libertarian Bullshit about how Republicans are for "Freedom". No, that only applies to forcing Evangelical Christianity down everyone's throats.
