It’s already illegal federally. It can’t get more illegal.

It can’t get *more* illegal.

Talk about an ignorant statement.

You live in a tiny little bubble.

Right now the DEA is not going after state marijuana because of a memo issued during the Obama administration. That can be revoked at any time.

Legality and enforcement are different things.

Well, yes, but you see we were hoping it would go the other direction. That’s the general vibe of the room at the moment.

Trump federally legalized “psychoactive hemp” with the 2018 farm bill.

Still, I’m ready to get Ruby Ridged if the feds come for my plants.

It will depend entirely on whether he thinks weed being criminalized will put more people who oppose him in prison than he will lose in support from people who smoke weed that support him. Just like Nixon.

That’s my guess anyway.

You forgot option C) which is part of Fascism 101: selectively enforce the law to prosecute your political opponents, target minorities, and just have something to hang on people in general just in case.

“Coincidentally” that’s how the War on Drugs™ always worked in the US.

Does he need supporters anymore? He will have all three branches of government working for him.

If you’re going to start ignoring laws and stuff, that’s when you need support the most.

Support from the people in power, not the people who voted for you.

It’s not like the regime in East Germany had massive public support.

he has been against it, then most recently for legalization… he was most likely lying through his leaky diaper then, so i suspect he’s gonna flip back no legalization, no reclassification, aggressive targeted enforcement, and trying to screw up states’ own legalization efforts.

his accomplices have been working on stopping the reclassification already.
