why? because we might possibly have pot shops in a state you don't live in where people can pay a 45 dollar per ounce tax on a naturally occuring herb that should exist completely without regulation in the first place? and in the meantime we can all still get busted for? yea it's progress, but we're regressing in other ways. and federal law will technichally overide that legislation if it passes.
If this will pass, my theory is that it will spread like wild-fire. Over the course of 10 or 15 years. Of course.
10-15 years max, probably even sooner in my opinion. i honestly think we might be on the brink of something really big here with these elections in colorado and nevada.
wow out of all the states in the U.S. Nevada had to be it? who would have guessed? Nevada is known for itis anti-potness i really hope this will move to California too.
you are 100% right, but $45 for an ounce? thats a deal in my books, and besides even if it wasn't legalized(taxed) it would cost alot more on the black market anyway. I say it's one small step for stoner's, and one giant leap for Mother Nature.
reminds me of a tax act they triesd in oregon that was damn close too...& u know at least 50% who voted against it did so cause theyre just so unaware of the truth about weed
If it cannot be taxed it will never be legal (decriminalized maybe). This is a big step and if it works will help to weaken the grasp of the DEA. Even a boulder can be moved if chipped away at bit by bit. Nevansterdam? B!ll
45 dollar TAX and napoleon is pretty much right it just seems to me that when legalized it's gonna become the next alcohol forget having it be sold by government shops legalize the growing of it for personal use and for mass hemp production if it's legal to grow your own pot you can still choose to sell it (assuming you'd be smart about it), which would be illegal, but it wouldn't be much different since it's illegal to sell anyways but obviously that's not gonna happen since the government has to put their money-grubbing hands all over our natural herb but, whatever, i guess it's "progress"
Yeah, were it legalised, I'd just want to be able to grow my own. I don't want a bunch of greedy corporations sticking their grubby hands all over it. Or the government, even.
