For years Iâve heard people say Wyoming lawmakers will never legalize marijuana, and if they do, weâll be the last state to go down that road. Iâve generally agreed with that sentiment, primarily because voters who say they want the government to stay out of their lives keep electing legislators intent on doing the opposite. They pass laws taking away womenâs reproductive freedom, sponsor anti-LGBTQ bills and zealously work to restrict peopleâs right to vote. To think that a majority of this bunch would let Wyomingites smoke a joint in the privacy of their homes seems like a fantasy. A âdevilâs weedâ mentality has dominated the Legislature for as long as I can remember. Iâve listened to hours of testimony about how marijuana is a gateway drug, just as dangerous as heroin and the scourge of a decent society.
