I feel like there are more forces at work. The cynic in me thinks that we are on the cusp of legalization because shit is going downhill and they will need ways to easily placate the masses.
People institute governments to protect them from scary things.
Governments wanting more power, exaggerate danger to increase fear.
Scared people give up agency to the government to protect them.
Having abdicated personal responsibility to the State, the people are even more receptive to State power and threats of violence from the State itself.
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave are interconnected phrases. Why are we so afraid to be free?
Freewill is earned, not a gift at birth. The conspiracy is big farmacy is making a production line of sustainable profit. Agriculture is not as profitable. So containing a market before legalization in non-legal states through legal means is cornering the market. SYNTHETIC THC HAS ALWAYS BEEN LEGAL - nothing new.

Most often than not, governments institute themselves with sheer power and propaganda, and then it just goes on.
