Modern prohibition

The votes in Washington and Colorado marked a significant shift from decades of tough-on-crime policies that burned through $1 trillion in tax dollars over 40 years, led to the arrest of 850,000 Americans for marijuana law violations in 2010 alone, and fueled the rise of deadly drug cartels abroad.
BUT, the right wing always thinks they have the right to inflict their values and prejudices on the rest of society. Sorta like when slaves were freed, women got the vote and prohibition was lifted. It was like, 'what the hell took so long', to do something so obvious.
