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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

We aren’t in the prohibition era though, things are different. That’s the point of legalizing weed now.
We already have tons of small businesses/ individual entrepreneurs selling weed (dealers).
The point of the “legalization and regulation” process is to make it prohibitive to sell legally and transfer the market into the hands of big businesses who can afford it.
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.

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.

It is billions in taxes per year.
