I do not believe that politicians would risk their electability when they try to change laws which every single poll the past decades has shown that the huge majority of the people want to change anyway.

Polls keep showing that the majority of the American public wants weed legalized so factually they would improve their electability with speaking up for what the majority wants them to do in the first place.

The reasons behind their cowardness is not fear of the opinion of their voters, it's fear for the opinion of the industries who would loose big time if weed/cannabis/HEMP/marijuana was legal.

legalisation of Cannabis would mean that HEMP would be legal too, and there's the big problem for the chemical, pharmaceutical and many more politically influencial industries. HEMP is simply way too much competition for those industries.
