Holy crap is looks like a state is finally going to get smart and start regulating/taxing weed. Well. Maybe... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/dea...california-marijuana-legalisation-legislation
Only professional vendors would be taxed. When you read the article, you can see there is a franchise fee, and a yearly vendor fee, and then $50/z tax. People that grow at home and don't sell (or don't sell openly) would still be tax free.
what's the point. no one will buy from professional vendors...what will happen is the guy down the block will grow and sell, all cash transactions, impossible to track. won't raise hardly any taxes.
You can easily make liquor at home, too, but few people have bothered to since prohibition ended. barfo
That is where you are wrong. Professional vendors will be able to out cheap the average grower any time once legalized. Prices will actually drop because the risk is gone, even with the $50/z tax it will probably still be cheaper than when it was illegal.
all you have to do is take care of it. we grew some in college, it was easy and once we got it started, it was all good. we had a huge jar of weed.
By the way if this goes through, I am definitly investing in whoever owns Doritos, Funions, and maybe a few choclate milk places.
yeah. me and my roomate actually totally turned the dorm room into a trippy den. we had psychadelic candles, those blacklight posters and we put green film on the lights in the room so it would be green all over. good times. It was my roomate who did most of the cultivation though, I suck at taking care of things like that.
Pocket burgers! its an invention me and my roomate did while we were high. we got a costco frozen burger patty, fried it in the george foreman and stuck it on our pockets while walking around campus. no bun, just the cooked patty in our pockets.
You mean like how nobody buys fruits and vegetables from the store, because they can grow them themselves?
anyways, in california its pretty fucking easy to get a medical marijuana prescription. just go to a shady doc and get an order...they advertise them in the back of the LA Times. Its like $150 or so I believe.
I am just wondering how long it will take Oregon to come up and follow suit. Probably not long once they see how much in taxes it raises.
its not about the taxes. that's just a red herring on the path to legalization, just as the "usability of hemp" was a few years ago.
Yes. Its the intended usage, but in reality its just a pathway to legalize marijuana so people can smoke it. Taxation is just a convenient conduit to make it happen now that there is a budget deficit.
