This seems plausible but I don't know how much law enforcement and prison guards are actually doing to fight legalization, certainly they're not putting money down.

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.

political capital only exists in a democrat economy

trump and friends are perfectly fine wasting billions of dollars to imprison as many people as possible and their lissencephalic base will eat it up because they want the streets cleaned or at least the appearance thereof
