If every state just made it legal and then taxed the holy hell out of it, how much lower would our state and federal taxes get? And would that be the end of Mexico sneaking it across the border when companies like Conagra and Monsanto started growing it?

 

[MilesTeg]

I've thought the same thing. They could also sell growing permits. Which wins twice for them. If you buy the permit they cash in. If you don't buy the permit and get caught they cash in. If the charge a 3 plant $20 grow permit and $5 a plant after that they would make a killing on the permits alone.

Taxes would not go down,they would simply allocate new found monies to more pig spending.

Whatever happened with those yearly pork books? Citizens Against Public Waste, IIRC. People should read those books so they know what the thugs in Washington are up to.

 

[Criticalt]

Most people would still grow their own to save money.
Mexico would still supply to the black market.

Now if you sold permits and made growing without one a class A felony, you may make money there.
However, people would still buy from the black market.
Its too easy to grow to control.

Sure,
Super regulated and heavily taxed, it is going to work as well as their Tobacco taxes.
They lost 500M in tax revenues from tobacco to outside suppliers and black market.
If the NY government gets involved it will be a total disaster, no doubt.

How about we just legalize it and don't tax it? :O

Growing something on your own without paying the crown?

That is what we could call a true legalization.

Otherwise it is being ripped by the guy with the suit and tie just like pharmaceuticals in this country.

The cartels love this because they will beat the government prices.

Even other free states will provide the produce cheaper than NYS.

The reservations might want a piece of the action too like they do with the tobbaco today.

wait and see..

I just call it "freedom".

 

[meketrefe]

I just call it "freedom".

yes that is a better word for it.

Every law is not about substance control, tax control, etc... it is about "Control" pure and simple.

Everything will be illegal.

My favorite one of those was the teenager bikini wrestling mud pit quicksand sucked under one .


I jerked off

*cough*

Clicked off quickly from that one. Not for my virgin eyes. I closed that one quickly! Hope the best for her.

My parents and myself have a Christmas tree farm. If they legalized it I'd grow an acre or two of the stuff (never smoked it myself). I'm thinking edible (smokeable?) green wreaths to sell along with the trees.

 

[stuck in ny]

It should stay illegal. Sure, it might be victimless, but so is having a normal capacity magazine. If they can put us in jail for victimless "crimes" than we should lock up as many of them as possible, tit for tat.

What makes you think "us" is different from "them?"

If Uncle Sam builds a wall *AND* starts checking those shipping containers before they come off the freighter; that would be the end of overseas and mexican drugs. God forbid the Coast Guard and US Customs actually check those containers though...... Maybe when one of them has a nuke like in that movie and melts a football stadium; then Uncle Sam will wake the fuck up.

 

[ProgSpear]

Why bother with some crummy stadium? The logistics are far easier to simply cruise into one of the big ports and go mega-jihad. If they did 3 or 4 it would paralyze this country for the next 20 years. Put on your best Casey Kasem voice and do the count-down...

Treat it just like alcohol.
Tax, regulate and its legal.


Including You are allowed to grow your own for personal usage (just like home brew beer). But not resale.
