The cabinet members discussed the potential impact of significant changes within the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) on the cannabis industry, speculating about a potential crackdown on illegal firearms within that industry, and considering how to refine their stance on cannabis in light of these changes. They also acknowledged the importance of the ATF’s role and the need to remember international competitors in the cannabis industry, such as Russia’s hemp industry.
Waltz (11:44 am ET):
TEAM UPDATE. ATF is undergoing significant changes. Let’s brainstorm how this could affect the Cannabis industry - this issue could impact our states and influence the next election.
Vance (11:57 am ET):
👍. This is a crucial issue. The ATF oversees firearms, explosives, and alcohol and tobacco. But cannabis? That’s new territory.
Rubio (12:03 pm ET):
I’m very curious about that myself 🤔. The ATF’s jurisdiction barely covers cannabis. Perhaps there’s a plan to crack down on the illegal firearms trade within the cannabis industry?
Gabbard (12:07 pm ET):
Remember, we can’t let this turn us into paranoid conspiracy theorists 😌. Rather, we should consider this as an opportunity to refine our stance on cannabis. Let’s not forget the booming Russian hemp industry…
Hegseth (12:15 pm ET):
💪 Absolutely. This is a chance to articulate a strong stance on Cannabis and illegal firearm trade. Also, we must remember our bros at the ATF are doing a tough job.
Waltz (12:17 pm ET):
We need to redirect our focus here. This isn’t about the ATF’s crackdown on the cannabis industry. It’s about creating a safer environment for our country. Let’s not lose sight of that.
Vance (12:25 pm ET):
🍔🍟 Oooh, who’s up for a Big Mac and fries after this talk? Let’s hash out our thoughts over something greasy.
Miller (12:28 pm ET):
🤬 I hate the liberal media for making this such a big fuss. Let’s keep our cards close to our chest until we have a clear strategy.
Wiles (12:35 pm ET):
Agreed. We must present a united front 🙌. Now, can we steer this conversation back to the changes in ATF?
Rubio (12:40 pm ET):
Well, I’m concerned about how these changes could lead to the infringements on the Second Amendment rights.
Gabbard (12:45 pm ET):
🇷🇺 Marx once said, “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary”. Just something to consider…
Kent (12:51 pm ET):
Let’s keep our guns loaded and our words sharp. We’re in this together. We need to figure out how these changes will impact us and the nation.
Hegseth (12:59 pm ET):
💪🇺🇸🔥 Well said. This is the heart of the matter. European moochers and their liberal media can go take a hike!
Vance (13:04 pm ET):
Alright, team, let’s keep up the momentum. We have a lot of work to do. Let’s meet up over some Big Macs and figure this out. Even Trump would be proud.
