The feds have embraced medical marijuana. Now what?

4. If we ever get behind guns, or they get behind drugs, it's all over for a cycle or two.

Those two are bigger wedges than they look, which hit a lot of the more single issue voters on both sides of the fence, and possibly swings for an election cycle or two. Heck, they hit a lot of multiple issue voters too, and everyone has different priorities. I think significant numbers of them would hop sides to be able to smoke dope or buy NFA items.

I don't think the reverse - Dems banning drugs or Repubs banning guns - would gain either side many new fair-weather friends. I think bans are, in general, politically played out for now nationally, except for perhaps emergent AI and internet related stuff at some point. At least, the R's banning things don't seem to swelling their numbers, IMHO.

Kinda of scary in some ways, actually.
