For decades, the federal government has been on a mission to create a “smoke-free society”

Then why the drive to sell pot?

More money.

The “mission” is propagandizing it to justify tax and regs. Many folks hate the act of smoking period, which is why they fight it. The gov sees it as an easy “line” to use for more money.

Plus, w/pot, there will be additional regs concerning use while driving, use around children, and use in public.

Once the public is “used” to that, you will see those same restrictions passed onto tobacco and vaping.

“Then why the drive to sell pot?”

What fed drive to sell pot?

It is still schedule I and not approved for medical use. Feds do not even allow banks to do business with medical pot providers.

If anything, the feds are driving more people to use legal big-pharma heroin by banning medical pot
