These are the five groups that are aggressively lobbying to keep marijuana illegal.

I wonder why.

1.) Police Unions
2.) Private Prisons Corporations
3.) Alcohol and Beer Companies
4.) Pharmaceutical Corporations
5.) Prison Guard Unions

NOT who I would think? That's exactly who I would think. They all earn their living on the back of the drug war, just self preservation on their part.

One other big group: the marijuana black market. The support is discreet, of course.

As long as taxes on it are ~30 percent like Colorado they don't care that much.

Lobbying and donating are the same in my eyes.

Its not about your safety or liberty they care about, its their money...The War On Drugs is nothing more then a massive welfare system for law enforcement, only with a very high body count and no knock raids..
