$50 tax on an ounce?So typical of the Government,,don't legalize because it is the right thing to do..that it will help end senseless violence,,,that it will keep countless numbers from going to jail over a plant...so that it won't keep kids from getting student loans to go to college because of a simple possession bust...nope,they will do it for money.
This country is fecked up for sure.
It's an exit drug. Read what the former heroin users and alcoholics on this website have to say about cannabis. And some researchers and health professionals are starting to realize this too.
We the sheeple...........
Seriously. My sister's getting off the pills and she smokes weed like a madman-woman. I'd rather her smoke weed like cigarettes than be addicted to their heroin pills, just hope she stays off of em.
That $185k will never cover your other expenses. A 50% tax will be an effective ban on the industry.hahaha..... thats a stupid statement...mmj stores have to buy most of their supplies from growers.....and what growers should be able to sell it to the stores without paying any taxes
They already tax the fuck out of mmj stores...they are not allowed 1 Federal business tax deduction...no expenses payroll supplies nothing
...Shit Washington State is gunna have it set up to collect 85% in taxes on marijuana by the time the consumers get it
A 3 tier system....producer hit with 25%.....processor hit with 25% .... the retailer with hit 25% pus the 10% sales tax
a person can hold the producer and processor licenses but they have to pay 50% in taxes to the state....
BUT
you can NOT have the retail license in conjunction with either of the other 2 licenses
If the Feds choose to tax marijuana 50% .....thats 135% in taxes added on
I did the math.... if you make 1,000,000 in sales of marijuana and the govenements get to tax it like they want to .... that leaves $185,000 we get to keep
Sorry to hear bro, but we arent here to talk about the real problems in america....
Tell her to get some Imodium for her stomach.
Xanax for rest and shaky legs (i know but they are relatively harmless and will help her withdraw in comfort)
Coconut water for electrolytes
5-htp supplement (GNC) Serotonin precursor, will help with the anxiety from the withdrawal..
Store sold fruit smoothie drinks help for nutrition, I like those Naked green machines..
Tell her it gets better.... I was injured, and became addicted to pills in 3 weeks... Its not her, its anyone that is prescribed them or abuses them... Trust me... I went from corporate hot shot to seeing the world in a whole new light, because of opiates... 2 months it wrecked my life....

I must agree 100%. As I read about the proposals for such taxation on the federal level, I realize the legalization of weed on a federal level is a veryreal possibility. Something I thought I would never see in my life time when I first started smoking in the 60's. So, with that in mind, I have no problem in the paying taxes. It's kinda like drinking beer. Pay the taxes, quit or make your own. Just like smoking cigs. Pay the taxes, quit or make your own. You get the ideaThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Marijuana and Firearms sounds nothing but chock full of awesome lol
Personally, I think any government making money from pot legalization is a good thing. Hopefully it'll start a domino effect of governments going 'hey, that gov made money from pot, we're cash strapped, we now have more cause to follow their path!'.
At the end of the day, all governments are a business. You pay your taxes and they provides services and infrastructure. taxing pot, like alcohol, is nothing but good business. This is the same as bad business is having harsh drug penalties, yet not taxing high enough to cover building more and more jails (California jail overcrowding). The sin tax on alcohol rakes in the cash for governments. And it works in our favor, the carrot on a stick for legalization (which really is regulation). I think there's a lot of things which wouldn't take place if they didn't make governments money.
As far as personal grows, I'd say there'd be no difference to making your own home brew beer. When making home brew, the only tax you pay is on the ingredients and kit to get started. I don't see why weed would be any different.
Yer not wrong, CDM.. Pay taxes is better than pay lawyer. "They gotta get theirs one way or another."That's exactly why I said I would rather fight for my taxes than have to fight for my freedom... Bring on the fucking taxes if it keeps ppl outa jail, be real... They gotta get theirs one way or another.
Do y'all honestly think it's better to keep it illegal?
