Louisiana Sheriffs Association will definitely do everything in their power to fight the legalization of cannabis. They don't want to cut off their gravy train that is asset forfeitures. They don't want to lose that all of that cash and properties that they seize.

They should have no say so in this whatsoever. They're job is to enforce the laws, not create them.

The most recent poll taken showed that 67% of Louisiana voters favor the legalization of cannabis.
Why are the citizens of Louisiana not allowed to exercise their right to vote on this???

Because money runs the state and the Sheriff’s Association has a lot of it.
