Anything to win. Once in office, the christofascists will plop an order on his desk reclassifying the AG stance of weed, making it illegal regardless of what states say, and the arrests will begin.
It’s mostly blue states that have it legal and after shooting deporting all the undesirables, someone will have to work the fields.
You clearly don’t know shit about legal cannabis. This will never happen in a million fucking years regardless of who is in office.
There is too much economic infrastructure built out around the industry now, and the states & federal government make a fortune in tax revenue. There is literally a zero percent chance cannabis legalization is rolled back further than where it is today.
Source: worked in the cannabis industry for almost 15 years.
Read pages 553 through 555 of project 2025. They absolutely will prosecute weed because it’s still illegal at the federal level. You are dealing with fascists, homes. They are going to use the military against us right out of the gate.
You fail to take into account that basically 90% of the cannabis industry is owned by white people, many of whom are alt-right counterculturists, and more of them than you’d think are pro-Trump.
It turns out that an industry built around people with a tenuous appreciation for the law are often easily coopted by a demagogue who constantly threatens to overthrow the government.
They serve the same masters, and are on the same team. It doesn’t matter what all of the 2025’ers think they are going to get. Trump is going to do what is good for him to remain in power, and removing other white people from positions of ownership in a sin-taxed industry that is coopted by the government isn’t one of those things.
What you believe is irrelevant. I have seen the beast from the inside, and I can tell you for a fact that cannabis is staying legal as long as it is profitable for the white robber barons.
I hope you’re right but they never wanted to actually overturn roe either-- they needed it as a wedge issue and now it might cost them the election. At this point the gop is the dog who caught the car. They’re out of control.
We did prohibition once already. The result was that all the little guys went out of business and the big guys ended up in positions to be the only guys. I wouldn’t discount that as being a possibility for weed.
That is already happening. They don’t need to make cannabis illegal again in order to monopolize the industry. All that takes is time, money, and effective lobbyists.
I’m with Rico suave on this one. Where I live, there’s a dispensary every other block. 10s of thousands of jobs revolve around the industry. The states are making millions on taxes. Zero chance that would fly.
Use applicable federal laws to bring federal charges against
criminals when local jurisdictions wrongfully allow them to evade
responsibility for their conduct.41 The department should also increase
the federal law enforcement presence in such jurisdictions and explore
innovative solutions to bring meaningful charges against criminals and
criminal organizations in such jurisdictions.
l Where warranted and proper under federal law, initiate legal action
against local officials—including District Attorneys—who deny
American citizens the “equal protection of the laws” by refusing to
prosecute criminal offenses in their jurisdictions. This holds true
particularly for jurisdictions that refuse to enforce the law against criminals
based on the Left’s favored defining characteristics of the would-be offender
(race, so-called gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.) or other political
considerations (e.g., immigration status)
Page 555:
Rigorously prosecute as much interstate drug activity as possible,
including simple possession of distributable quantities.46 Recent efforts
to create the impression that drug possession crimes are not serious
offenses has contributed to the explosion of criminal organization
activities in the United States.
Weed is still federally illegal, and they intend to prosecute everyone currently enjoying smoking it in their home on their own time.
“Because our country is going to hell. The critical job of institutions such as Heritage is to lay the groundwork. And Heritage does such an incredible job at that. And I’m telling you, with Kevin and the staff, and I met so many of them now, I took pictures with among the most handsome, beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I didn’t like that picture. If you could lose that picture, please would you Kevin? But this is a great… No, he says I won’t do that. But this is a great group. And they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America and that’s coming. That’s coming. Because nobody can stand what’s happening right now. Only a fool, only a fool or somebody that hates our country can like what’s happening right now. Never been in this position before and already we know a very big part of our agenda.” Donald J Trump to a Heritage Foundation meeting April 21st 2022.
His point is that Trump’s stance on an issue doesn’t matter. He will say whatever he needs to say to get into office. And then if he gets in, he will defer to whatever the hard right wants. So (pretty much) whatever they present to him he will just sign it. As long as they praise him and he can continue to bilge everyone and everything for money, he won’t care.
