You have to admit, it is pretty darned amusing.

They tax cigarettes to oblivion...then legalize pot...to replace the taxes that were lost on that market.

I can’t decide if it is a brilliant plot to curtail smoking pot, like they did cigarettes. Or...they finally figured out the loss of tax revenue caused by nailing the cigarette smokers to the cross had to be replaced somehow.

Too deep for my shallow little mind. It just amuses me.

I’d much rather have weed being sold at liquor stores from a tax paying organization, then a brutal gang.
