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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Signaling from Trump can be interpreted as:
“I’ll flip flop on issues and then do what I want when I’m in office anyway, depending on my mood, and if I ate McDonald’s yet or not.”
I'd have to have dementia as potent as Donald's to believe a word he says. If I ever indicate I do please guide me to some sort of humane end of life in a European country with human dignity.
