Two affiliated George Soros-funded groups are influencing marijuana legalization and decriminalization laws in Democratic-run states that have seen substance abuse and crime rates skyrocket in recent years.
Drug Policy Alliance and its advocacy arm, Drug Policy Action, received at least $2.8 million combined from the Soros-led Open Society Foundations network from 2016 to 2020, grant database records show.
One group behind the successful cannabis push in New York was Drug Policy Alliance, which"worked closely with advocates [and] communities impacted by prohibition and lawmakers" to get the Cuomo law over"the finish line," according to the alliance. The alliance has disclosed hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying in New York since 2019, including on"cannabis/marijuana," according to state financial reports.
"The way it has been implemented has been a disaster, because it hasn’t been enforced," Cuomo said in an interview last week with WABC 770's Rita Cosby."You have a lot of stores that are not licensed to sell ... and they’re not being shut down.“ Between August 2020 and November 2020, Drug Policy Action poured over $2.35 million into the Prop 110 committee, according to campaign finance disclosures. It also loaned $150,000 to the committee, which reported a"loan forgiven" of more than $127,600 in May 2021.
"It began the process of creating a culture of drug use in Oregon," Draper told the Washington Examiner."From there, they went from marijuana to methamphetamine and heroin. Homeless camps are turning into open-air drug markets.
