DOOBIE BROTHER

-

An 85-year-old billionair­e industrial­ist

might seem an unlikely advocate for federal pot legalizati­on, but Charles Koch is full of surprises. Some readers are excited the world’s most prominent libertaria­n has publicly joined the movement to legalize weed. Others

wonder what’s in it for him.

GUS DIZEREGA:

“Glad to hear it. But given the decades of ruined lives, cop-caused killings and u er disrespect for personal peaceful choice, what

took him so long?”

@BRADCOO768­79569:

“This wouldn’t make up for all the BS he and his brother caused. His family has been all about power and control. He only wants a controllin­g interest in something he

knows will sell.”

@REINHARDT_ MATT:

“Who cares what his agenda is for wanting to legalize? Between him and Je Bezos we should be able to get it legalized now. Got enough money behind it; now

hopefully it’ll start moving.”

RAYE LAUREN WARWICK:

“He is old. Maybe his joints ache and he needs some weed

for himself.”

SETH RIGGS:

“Prohibitio­n does not work. Cannabis will always have a market. The country would be be er o taxing legal

marijuana use.”

@ROBINHOOD.UNIVERSITY:

“More reasons to own

cannabis stocks.”
