So, it goes like this. If it gets passed and legalized then we get taxed and the government can make oodles of money to run social programs and the like, etc, etc, etc, ... sounds alot like the luxury tax or sin taxes on liquor and cigarettes. Problem is only those who can afford it will purchase it, others will grow thier own for personnal use or otherwise and thus avoid the taxes altogether. Would you rather buy from a friend tax free or purchase at some store and hand more money to the government? Hasn't anyone here enjoyed a homebrewed beer made by a friend without having to pay taxes? Honestly, whatever it is and the people want it, why the hell must it be taxed? wtf!
