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)

Rigorously prosecute as much interstate drug activity as possible,

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.
Project 2025 is a list of basically every conservative policy that they will present to the next president for them to choose from. It’s basically a standard right wing political transition plan and has only blown up because of the marketing. Trump has also made it clear he disagrees with certain parts.
This leads me to believe he will do the parts he agrees with (cement Republicans power, target immigrants, militarize police etc), but not do the parts he disagrees with.
A 2nd Trump term will probably be the same politics as the first, just a different more efficient/powerful execution (from build the wall and some are fine people [2016], to round them up and it will be bloody [2024] for example). But I don’t think he will shift his targets to be anyone who smokes weed, that would be a terrible move and probably bring ruin to the party as most Americans (including Republicans) are for the legalization of marijuana.
“Because our country is going to hell. The critical job of institutions such as Heritage is to lay the groundwork. And Heritage does such an incredible job at that. And I’m telling you, with Kevin and the staff, and I met so many of them now, I took pictures with among the most handsome, beautiful people I’ve ever seen. I didn’t like that picture. If you could lose that picture, please would you Kevin? But this is a great… No, he says I won’t do that. But this is a great group. And they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America and that’s coming. That’s coming. Because nobody can stand what’s happening right now. Only a fool, only a fool or somebody that hates our country can like what’s happening right now. Never been in this position before and already we know a very big part of our agenda.” Donald J Trump to a Heritage Foundation meeting April 21st 2022.

And a bunch of rambling…
The heritage foundation isn’t new and they didn’t just recently start proposing policies with project 2025. They were around in 2016 as well.
Mandate for Leadership is a series of books published by The Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think-tank based in Washington, D.C. They offer specific conservative policy recommendations designed to be implemented by the federal government.
The books have traditionally been released to coincide with an incoming U.S. presidential administration. The first edition was released in 1981, following the election of Ronald Reagan, to serve as policy guidance for the incoming Reagan administration. The latest edition, published in April 2023, is a major component of Project 2025.
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.
What makes you say this?
Trump’s record on weed doesn’t seem to be radical prohibitionist or point to a desire for mass arrests of weed users.
Nor did his personal record on abortion
yes it did, he was very anti-abortion during his 2016 campaign.
He’s been president already. He didn’t make weed illegal no matter what and start mass arrests.
