    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.

      Yeah, the famous saying “first they came for everybody all at once and everyone knew they had to stand up against them”…

      The vast, vast majority in both parties support the legalization of weed. Republicans are good at politics, they wouldn’t die on that hill.

        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.
