Charles Koch The same devout libertarian known for spending a fortune on political causes is now being the same actively funding efforts to end federal marijuana prohibition.
Here’s why pro-pot advocates in both parties are high on his support.
Soon, Koch might be known as the billionaire who persuaded Republican and Democratic holdouts to legalize cannabis at the federal level.
“2022, Will Be Our Year To Watch For Legalization Interests To Grow” – Steven Smith, 1st Hemp USA News
Koch admits that he is not on the front lines fighting for legalization—Brian Hooks, the CEO of Stand Together (which Koch founded) and Koch Industries’ former longtime general counsel Mark Holden, and others, are doing the boots-on-the-ground work.
It may come as some surprise to discover that Koch is an advocate of legalization, especially since the billionaire has already spent a fortune backing Republican politicians and lobbying for conservative legislation. Koch is a diehard libertarian, though, and fully opposes the idea that the government could lock someone away in jail just for smoking a joint or otherwise enjoying their own personal freedom.
“It should be the individual’s choice,” Koch said: ‘this’ is counterproductive. It ruins people’s lives, creates conflict in society and is anti-progress. The whole thing never made sense to me… Marijuana, as I understand it, is less addictive than alcohol.
However, it’s unclear whether the long-awaited federal legalization bill, a draft of which Sens. Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Ron Wyden introduced in July, can get the 10 Republican senators and all 50 Democratic senators needed to pass it. Schumer readily admits he doesn’t yet have the numbers and President Biden does not support legalization. For politicians on both sides of the aisle who still oppose cannabis, Koch has two questions:
“If you don’t like marijuana, or don’t like people doing that, and you have all these laws, how’s that working out for you?” he asks, before making his second point: “Marijuana, as I understand it, is less addictive than alcohol. So why is alcohol legal and marijuana isn’t?”
