"...and would tax marijuana in a manner comparable to alcohol." ROTFLMAO!

These idiots just don't get it. People will be growing their own "tax free" marijuana. It's a weed. It'll grow anywhere.

Well, one can make his own beer, but how many people do it compared to those who just go to the store? "Home-grown" would be a novelty hobby held only by pothead gardeners.

You can make your own corn liquor too.

People start doing that when it becomes taxed too highly.

Same difference.

Tomatoes and bell peppers grow very easily. Why do those sell at the store pretty well?

Very true, but would you be willing to pay the tax for the right to be left alone completely.

Say 300 or 400 dollars, the price of a good oz. I would.

If it was that easy to do that those pot clubs in California wouldn't be making money hand over fist selling pot for $20 or $30 a gram. It may not be the hardest plant to grow, but doing it right obviously does involve a good deal of work. They have to have space for it, time and discipline to tend to their crop, the skill and the knowhow to do things like separate males from female plants before pollination and harvest just at the right time. Then they have to dry it and cure it just right. That whole process takes months and is obviously not as easy as people might imagine or you wouldn't see pot selling so well for high prices at pot clubs in California or in places like the Netherlands where retail sales and growing a few plants is ignored by law enforcement. I bet if it was legal and taxed the economy of scale would bring the prices down even with the taxes and people for the most part would just go buy their pot at the pot store, where the could get a wide variety of quality product. Before long there would be popular brands or varieties that consumers would stick with because they like the taste or whatever, and homegrown from some yahoo's backyard would be no more appealing to them than the beer he's making in his closet.

Thats a Fact. But it would be fun to see what they would come up with. But if they were smart, those funds could go into rehabs for people at greatest risk from addiction.
