Andrei Dorkovsky posted:im just really having trouble seeing how the DEA will even be able to do anything in a place like CO without the state just completely rolling over. recreational weed shops are all over the drat place and anyone over 21 can grow however many plants. is there even any anti-legalization people still making noise in that state? I assume it takes maybe three instances of DEA Coperators taking a battering ram to the door and arresting the owner of a legal weed shop before 99% of the rest of them close up and go home.

get that OUT of my face posted:ah i see. whatever they'll do (and they'll do something) sorta flies in the face of state's rights, small government, support for the private sector, individual liberty, support for law enforcement, and a whole host of other planks that the GOP supposedly holds dear, but the only constant in the authoritarian mind is spite. that's why Sesh wants this killed The gop has always been about trying to bring the 50's back, so this whole move on weed isn't surprising at all

In a stunning reversal, a mentally decaying President Trump signs his final EO on January 18th, 2025. It is a mere two words: "Legalize It" he goes down in history as the greatest president the union has ever known

I think this is\will be more of a symbolic thing than a real enforcement initiative. I know people here say they don't believe in political capital anymore but for them to bee seen "solving" a problem that is already solved by federalism right now would be crazy. There's WAY bigger fish to fry. Shutting down a weed store in Colorado does nothing for an unemployed factory worker in Ohio and can't even be spun as such. I think this is all coming from Sessions and even he won't pull the trigger when the times comes. Maybe do one or two operations if he can find a way to tie it to The Children, but going in and shutting down the whole industry? No way, they may be stupid but their not that stupid. Bannon would try and talk Trump out of it if it became too real.

Those unemployed Ohio factory workers (many of whom could actually find gainful employment if they were in any way employable) don't give a poo poo whether it will help them. If you think we are fueled by spite you should try talking to them.

Trump will kill "legal" weed 1. Weed is still illegal federally 2. Which means any federal department that deals in any way with weed can crack down on it 3. Not just the DEA, can be the FBI and even agencies like the IRS 4. Don't think the IRS can't do anything? Well, think again! While illegal income must still be reported (either as misc income or on a Schedule C, & don't forget Self-Employment tax) you aren't allowed to deduct business expenses. So a state-legal marijuana dispensary can't deduct rent. Or utilities. Or the cost of supplies and materials. Or employee's wages. Make $1,000,000 in gross sales but spend $900,000 for the cost of doing business? A normal corner store would only need to pay taxes on that $100,000 difference, YOu on th other hand, must pay taxes on the whole Million dollars. 5. Under the Obsma administration most dispensaries have been skating by while claiming business expanses illegally, and the IRS has, for the most part, been allowing them to do that. But for how long?as I noted in a previous post some Big Bix tax preparation companies are backed no away from marijuana business. They see them as a liability that will be audited, and don't want that issue and are point blank refusing. 6. Not being able to claim business expenses is enough to kill marijuana dispensaries without any need for law enforcement to get involved I don't have any other bullet points and obviously there are other things that can happen with other agencies. But marijuana dispensaries are already under pressure because they have to use shell companies for banking. The IRS has the potential to make things so much worse for thrm

trump is unpopular as hell but he doesn't care, it's not going to stop him and his cronies from trying to make the country into their white supremacist image. if only democrats had a similar view, the last Dem president to lead good policy regardless of consequences was LBJ. and even then, that stubbornness kept him in Vietnam
