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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Because of these pages in Project 2025:
Page 553:
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.
I have my doubts either will do (or be able to do) anything substantial but even if both got to an actual plan I’m guessing I’d still prefer Harris’.
But let’s be real Trump will do nothing to ensure your rights expand in any regard and there’s no reason to take him at face value for any reason.
He will absolutely change his stance the second he’s in office, the evangelicals will make him
You must be high as fuck to trust this guy for whatever he says
I am high as fuck and I don’t believe him.
Speaking of not believing, I can’t believe how awesome French bread pizza is.
