I dunno. I still remember when big tobacco was situated to have a recreational pot monopoly AND the cigarette industry was already in downturn… and they still tended to fight legalization tooth-and-nail.
I’d suggest that rich republicans do the same thing, if for a more obviously-selfish reason. They like guaranteed, immediate, and stable profit more than the chance of overall increased profit in the long term.

That’s only poor Republicans who do that. Ultimately it will line the pockets of some rich piece of shit one way or another. I hate this place.
