If you research history, the progressive Democrats of the 1930s were the first ones to attack marijuana usage. Granted, there was a switch over during the 1960s when the Neo-cons started infiltrating the Republicans and the New Left began taking over the Democratic Party, but classical FDR liberalism is really big on drug laws (along with regulating food, land zoning, et cetera), and that's why Obama has been such a pain on drug laws even compared to George W. Bush.
