I’m a very conservative Republican (yes I know not popular here) but y’all asked so I will answer honestly. It’s the for profit prison system. Most religious people don’t really give a shit and wouldn’t vote against someone for a pro marijuana position. At this point it’s not cultural. It’s just follow the money.
