They aren't getting their cut.This is rich weed is legal, but since we haven’t figured out a way to tax you on it yet you can’t even give it away as part of a sales promotion. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
NY state clamps down on businesses offering marijuana as a ‘gift’
The Office of Cannabis Management said Tuesday it sent letters to more than two dozen enterprises it suspects of illegally selling weed.
What they are working out IMO is how to give more of the licenses to minorities and their friends without causing a stir. Also they are figuring out licensing, inspection, and a more profitable tax scheme. Many things are taxed at higher rates guns, alcohol, and tobacco are just a few that come to mind.

If you’re not selling it there are no taxes on it. If a store runs a buy one get one free of equal value and you buy a $100 pair of sneakers and get a $100 pair free you’re not taxed on $200, but only the $100 sale. IMO the taxation part shouldn’t even come into this equation if they are giving it away.
LOL, this has been going on for 60 years, but now that we have "Catch & release" its getting much more noticeable, and worse.
The numbers were just for an example. I also had no idea they were buying a “sticker” and giving that for products.
Well I would think if they are jumping the gun like this and they are known that the state would not give them a license, but I’m guessing a lot will have to do with the color of their skin.
That's really the core of it. The power brokers want to enrich themselves, like always. If then had that part figured out already, they would have had shops open yesterday.
Sounds like the whole complaint is that someone is GIVING it away free. No tax applies.
I get that, but I can give you anything as a gift under $10,000 and no taxes will be applied. I’m just wondering why it’s not being applied here. Ed tech must be right and it must be you buy a ticket or stamp and exchange it for drugs.
The whole Marijuana Criminalization started with the Tax Stamp. They made it so possessing or selling it without a Government Tax Stamp was the crime. That later changed with the Controlled Substance Act. Both were designed by Jim Crow Democrats of the Dixie Democrats to control the growth and pregnancy rate of those pesky freed slaves. Throw in abortion and they thought they had is made. Meanwhile, they replaced the Black Family with Government Agencies, and then little black boys began impregnating little black girls. Now you have 30-year-old Grandmothers in the hood. Even with throwing as many as they can in prison and abortion clinics in the inner city, they just can't control the growth. Enter the Pandemic. But which block of people are the most vaccine-hesitant? Black Americans. If is very similar to Gun Control. All Gun Control was started by Dixie Democrats to disarm those pesky freed slaves.
PS. When you walk in you must show ID to show that you are over 21, but they don't record your information. I'm sure the "State Run" stores will be not just recording your license but forwarding it to Albany. (NY State Police Gun Squad) Just sayin.
This is correct. This is what has happened in other states
