Better an avoidable sales tax than unavoidable income taxes to pay for enforcing marijuana prohibition.

Are they any worse than boozer politicians?
And where does Leach say he plans to smoke it?

Pennsylvania’s beer laws are so screwed up I can only imagine what they would do with marijuana.

We're going to become a nation of stoners! When we legalized the mind-altering drug alcohol, did we become a nation of boozers?

The only solace one gets out of this political mess is the belief that these Clowns (sorry Clowns) ARE definitely high and/or drunk.
It seems hard to fathom that, collectively, this current (and recent) breed of pols is acting rationally, without the aid of mind altering chemicals etc...

Losers will smoke pot no matter what we do.
Might as well starve the gangs and make some tax money off it.
Finally, a tax I won’t have to pay.

Comical. The guy's premise is that it is prohibitively expensive to enforce existing drug laws.. so he proposes a new law that identifies a series of new laws associated with it - 6 that he spells out in the article; 3 of which are utterly unenforceable (age restrictions, transfer rules, flowering plants/total plant count). Oh, and then there's the network of stores that the state will have to build or lease, and the inventory to outfit them.
Time to get the popcorn.

Five joints or fewer are deemed to be "medicine" and hence are exempt from the sales tax. Six or more are deemed to be for resale and thus sales tax would apply. Sales tax applies to the hemp, unless you tell the cashier that you are going to use it to make clothing, in which case it is exempt. Joints may only be sold on Sundays between the hours of 12 and 5PM, except in establishments where more than 51% of the gross sales can be shown to be in the form of food.

Would they do less? I’ll take some heroin comatose politicians.

And I've seen no evidence that enforcing the regulations on alcohol is expensive.

If you can have plants growing in your own home, then yes: age restrictions on use are most assuredly unenforceable.

Home brewing and distilling are legal; would you say age restrictions on alcohol use are therefore most assuredly unenforceable?
