    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.
