House Speaker Mike Johnson and the Smart Approaches to Marijuana (SAM) group represent modern marijuana prohibitionists who oppose legalization. Historically rooted in the 1930s with figures like Harry J. Anslinger, these prohibitionists, including organizations like the DEA, CADCA, and officials like Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis, advocate strict laws against cannabis.

This showcases a continued conflict between public opinion and prohibitionist ideologies that date back centuries.
