Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) supports the SAFER Banking Act, a piece of legislation that helps the cannabis industry succeed and flourish. This support is seen as an ethical betrayal and will lead to an increase in people with an addiction 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. Yet that is what Daines is doing with his support of the SAFER Banking Act, a piece of legislation that helps the cannabis industry succeed and flourish. Despite the bill’s name, it’s an ethical betrayal of monumental proportions that will do the opposite in Montana and the country. The legislation expands the marijuana industry nationwide, which, in turn, helps make marijuana accessible to more people. This, as a result, will lead to an increase in people with an addiction to the drug
