You can forget about legal weed for the next 50 years :/
It’s already illegal federally. It can’t get more illegal.
Oh, but it can.
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.
When they want more slaves in their private prisons, they’ll come after legal weed consumers in legal states. Cause fuck your states rights.
It can’t get *more* illegal.
Talk about an ignorant statement.
You live in a tiny little bubble.
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.
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.
Where do you think the people in power get their power from?
From being able to use force to stay in power. Again, the regime in East Germany did not have massive public support. Also, in every election in which he ran, Hitler got less than 50%. But he got into power because it was a plurality election.
Once you get into power, you don’t need elections to stay in power when you’re a dictator.
They also didn’t have near instant communication accross the country. It’s also one state, rather than a group of them.
There will be midterms, and politicians will think about them.
There will be midterms
Why are you assuming that, or that the midterms won’t be anything but a sham?
I really suggest you read about what dictatorships are like because you don’t seem to be aware.
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.
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.
Cannabis is still Schedule I and Trump can’t un-pardon people.
Elon smoked weed on the Joe Rogan show. It’ll stay legal.
Elon is rich.
This is America.
Your prediction is not a good one based on those two facts.
Right. Elon already breaks drug laws by consuming enough ketamine every week to tranquilize a horse.
That’s kind of like saying he takes enough feline insulin to treat feline diabetes.
Joe Rogan and other celebs are making money on weed like sponsorships and branding. It’ll stay legal.
You say that as if they couldn’t easily find other sponsors. Do not assume anything will stay legal under a dictatorship. Ask any former East German.
Ah you’re spiraling. Sorry.
Spiraling? No. I just know how dictatorships work because I read history books.
I’m not sure why you think dictators don’t make things illegal at their whim, even if their friends don’t like it.
Rules for thee but not for me
Democrats want it and it might help people that he doesnt know if legalised, so he’ll be against it.
His techbro and tweenosphere fans will be for it.
Elon likes it, you good
Fucked
