HIGHTIMES

The federal government, along with anti-drug groups, would like to paint a portrait for the American public that stoned supporters of the legalized marijuana movement are all saggy-pant thugs and unemployed hippies — nothing could be further from the truth.

The fact is there are some very wealthy and influential people out there are working the system in an effort to legalize the leaf. People with LOTS of money have swooped in like stoner superheroes and written fat checks so that America can finally be rid of this pesky prohibition business.

One of the largest financial supporters of the marijuana legalization movement is George Soros, the billionaire pro-pot advocate who has donated millions of dollars to ensure weed enthusiast can chief the reefer without being harassed by the police.

“Our marijuana laws are clearly doing more harm than good… Regulating and taxing marijuana would simultaneously save taxpayers billions of dollars in enforcement and incarceration costs, while providing many billions of dollars in revenue annually. It also would reduce the crime, violence and corruption associated with drug markets, and the violations of civil liberties and human rights that occur when large numbers of otherwise law-abiding citizens are subject to arrest. Police could focus on serious crime instead,” Soros wrote in a 2010 opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal.

Google billionaire Paul Buchheit has supported some of the same campaigns as Soros, donating more than $100,000 to California’s failed Proposition 19 back in 2010. Facebook forefathers Sean Parker and Dustin Moskovitz, along with Men’s Wearhouse founder George Zimmer also contributed green to legalize weed in California, donating $170,000 and $2 million, respectively.

The Marijuana Policy Project, whose board consists of a laundry list of celebrities like comedian Bill Maher, punk rock legend Jello Biafra, actor Jack Black, and comedian Tommy Chong, were responsible for funding 36 percent of the organization’s funding in 2012, according to the MMP’s financial report. Those donations accounted for 1,312,500 of the foundation’s total 2012 revenue of $3,569,899.
