I don't know how much of a mixed bag Texas is, but yep, Missouri is one of the weirdest states for political views. Two large metro areas that are pitted against each other, with a large rural population.
That is the fun part of living in Missouri, being a part of Swing State madness. Politicians making trips here is a lot of fun.

I'm not against legalization, but I do think regulations on it should be treated like alcohol. Say 21+ can smoke legally. I think there's a nostalgic effect of smoking it, especially here in South Georgia. Young people smoke for the thrill of doing something illegal imo.

"fiscal conservatives" are often not mutually exclusive from evangelicals and establishment republicans. Most republican voters and candidates are some combination of the 3 divisions in the party (tea party (fiscal conservatives), evangelicals (religious right), establishment (chamber of commerce). The establishment wants it because it enables greater power and funding to police, more money to fund the prison industrial complex, ect. The evangelicals don't like it because they see it as immoral like alcohol, gambling, or Kevin Bacon. Seeing as most "fiscal conservatives" are also partially one of the other two republican archetypes, it means that only a relatively small percentage of that 1/3 of the party actually support legalization. However, that segment is rapidly growing now after seeing the positive fiscal effects and neutral social effects of legalization in places like Colorado and Washington.

I am a staunch fiscal conservative. If you're not affecting anyone else in a negative way then you should be able to do whatever you want on your property.

Everyone's a staunch fiscal conservative on the Internet. And 40% of staunch fiscal conservatives on the Internet support Obamacare.

I'm against it because 1) I'm an old fart and get off my lawn, and 2) My time in the Army. There is nothing anybody can say that will ever convince me it should be legalized.
But I realize it is probably inevitable and there are many worse problems.

Don't care. Leave it up to State's rights. If it is legalized Federally, then they also need to change the 4473 and not make it a felony to purchase a firearm if one smokes it as well.
The only thing that slightly rustles me, is that this is a bigger issue than so many more other things that matter much more.

It could save lives? It would strip power from the Mexican cartels and would most certainly save countless lives. I'm sure you have very good reasons, I'm just curious what they are. Personally, I have seen marijuana waste away some of my very good friends and act as a gateway drug. I am still for legalization, however.

Platoon leader in charge of 35-40 guys. I'd say a minimum of 15 showed up for work every morning stoned, and disappeared during the day to smoke more pot. These are guys operating heavy earth-moving equipment - dozers, front-end loaders, dump trucks, etc. We got a few killed. To me it was a wonder that more weren't killed. But at that time the Army was way under-strength, so we couldn't kick them out. The "punishment" was sending potheads to drug rehab, which they actually enjoyed because it got them out of work. And then Reagan was elected, re-enlistments went way up, and my then company XO job became processing paperwork to kick potheads out of the Army. I loved that job. Relished it

No.

Same reason "liberals" fear liberty.
I'm fiscally conservative, not really Republican and think all drugs should be legal.
