Both parties do. The difference is democrats tend to legislate items that stem private enterprise and statutes that protect us from ourselves. An example of this is the smoking ban. Rather than keeping this decision in the hands of each private establishment, they enforce it upon everyone. This is going in the direction of prohibition, not legalization. One can argue the health issues it resolves, but it displays the mentality of the democrat platform. Easing laws on medical marijuana might happen under democrats, but never full legalization. It's not within the ideology of the party base.

The republican party is messed up, but at the ideological core, conservative line of thinking hold a more sensible view when it comes to legalization.
