id really like to identify the ideals that will be swapping sides from Democrat to Republican in the coming years.
Like legalize it folks are going to have to want to switch to republican I think, as the nation embraces legal weed.
Im watching this documentary on humbolt and the farming, because of new regulations, have taken something that was bad, and made it REALLY BAD, and all the hippies that were doing it well, are being crushed under the regulations.
Now, lets get to the point quickly, democrats love regulation, and the only people that know how bad it is for agriculture are the farmers, and the libs are not farmers, except for weed farmers.. and they're all going to have to become republicans.
Its going to be very hard for hippies to become republicans unless there is a major attitude change in the republican party, which, I believe is happening. Look at tucker carlson, look at hanity, look at TRUMP and look at the people that support him. There are more libertarians than there are Alt Right (not that CNN would tell you that)
but yeah, this is going to be an interesting flip.

Republicans can easily get a lot of votes by just dropping the obsession with lassiz-faire economics. As Tucker is proving by his popularity despite the anti-establishment heresy on his show.
But the thing is -- Trump kind of proved that the establishment will only accept this kind of Republican if they get a big ass tax cut to go with it. And then they only accept very moderate steps. One step forward, two steps backwards.
Weed guys -- the big dudes will all be Republican I'm guessing. Farmer types that partner up with experienced big time weed growers to make millions if not billions. This still is yet to happen because the federal regulations are still in place.
Once the market does its magic we'll end up with a few oligopolies -- or rather, the existing oligarchy will capture the weed market.
So the majority of weed growers would do best to go hard left ATM and try to use regulation to protect small growers. Maybe even do a grower union to avoid the dispensary business completely taking over all profits. As of now, growers are making far less money than they were under medical/illegal -- dispensaries are cleaning up.
But when it comes to money I'm probably not going to bet on weed socialism. I think big tobacco has a better shot in the end. You guys should definitely be checking out stocks for weed...soon might be a good time to buy. Especially in a stock market crash environment.
