Why is Steve Daines working so hard to get people addicted to marijuana?

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) claims to be a Republican. The senator from Montana is supposed to be a conservative. As such, his values are supposed to align with our nation’s founding principles and ones that run counter to the current generation’s shift toward prioritizing hedonistic pursuits. Conservatives are supposed to be the good guys, the defenders of morality and individual responsibility in society, and live by a code that helps improve the lives of their fellow citizens, not enable those people to get addicted to a dangerous drug.
