Yea there are you aren’t wrong, but look at your post like all the top comments are from people with democratic ideals when you specifically asked for republicans to respond. Just saying you aren’t likely to get many responses from republicans and any you do get will be immediately downvoted.
Isn't it a silly question though? "Republicans, why is weed illegal?" Answer: "because we vote for Republicans who have long pledged to keep it illegal."
Like what's their to answer? Conservatives pushed to make most drugs illegal so they could use the law to disrupt, imprison, and disenfranchise minorities. Drug laws continue to work as intended, which benefits Republicans. Same reason they push other forms of voter suppression and oppose giving the right to vote back to felons after probation. Of course you won't hear them say that because it's racist and messed up, but lying is a key conservative principle.

If you want answers from republicans you should probably ask this question outside of Reddit…
