Ive been on this earth for a while now and have myself seen many gateway drugs including:

Alcohol

Cigarettes

125cc motorcycles

DJI Mini drones

Cessna 172s

Ender-3's

120v fluxcore welders

All of these are more harmful (financially, at least) than marijuana.

Its a gateway to a good time

So, if I understand this correctly, the White House is about to relax federal restrictions on marijuana.

The current White House occupant is republican backed.

But that same republican party is now (again) pushing back on marijuana.

Is this mutiny? Good for them! At least it is some more noise to add to the chaos.

Musk/Rogan are telling Trump to do it but the police state needs a reason to arrest minorities

Conflicting interests.

Sure seems like they don't need reasons anymore

stoly reply

Republicans are about equally divided between “it’s fine even if not for me” and “it is evil and must be punished at all costs”.

Like alcohol, nicotine, and religion!

And prescription medications.

Gateway to less "lobbying money"
