Democrats are generally the borg, a collective hive mind. Any democrat who thinks for themselves is thrown out of the party like Tulsi Gabbard or Sinema. Denver just elected another democrat Mayor. I doubt if another democrat will actually lead to the change thats needed.

As a former libertarian who was in favor of decriminalizing drugs I would compare it to prohibition in the 1930s. Prohibition was started by womens groups, think of the children type of thing. It lead to a huge crime wave and tens of thousands were hurt and worse. It would be preferable to regulate and legalize. But it should be treated similar to alcohol, cops should arrest and imprison people who are clearly high in public and creating problems, also don't encourage drug use by handing out "free" stuff.

@elfdogre2181 I'm not as passionate about it anymore. I still think it could work but the way democrats have implemented it has been a disaster so I can see why people just want to go back to the old way. I think Marijuana legalization has been implemented somewhat well. And as a result a lot of the big drug cartels are no longer trafficking marijuana. They are now more likely to traffic avocados because they make more money with avocados now that marijuana is legalized and regulated in many states.
