The taxes are projected to bring in $70 million a year. The money will be used for school construction and regulating pot sales. … Sure it will.

Ahh the fallacy of legalization.

Good luck with that. Folks will still grow their own and “share” it with friends...for a fee.

A big tax on legal marijuana?
All part of the libertarian agenda.

Anybody else see the irony in using money from dope sales to build schools?
Also, as taxes increase, so will black market sales. "Legalization" may end up leading to just as much illegal sales as there were before.

This is the main thing wrong with legalizing drugs. If the government taxes it, the users will go back to the illegal dealers because it will be cheaper. I am for legalizing drugs and ending the WOD, but taxing drugs an exorbitant amount will negate any positive effect of legalizing drugs.

Sounds like generating tax revenue to help build more marijuana distribution facilities...

There is a certain irony here - a large tax was, after all, the original government ploy for making the stuff "illegal", which technically it wasn't at the time. Now it's a necessary part of re-legalizing.
I know I'm overreacting, but it's almost like liberals like taxing things. No, that's silly...

Uh, the real news is that we turned down a billion dollar tax increase for “education” by a two to one margin, despite the fact that the pro-tax forces (including out-of-staters like Michael Bloomberg and Bill Gates) outspent the anti-tax forces by about 200 to 1.

Send in the ATF to storm tax cheats!
So much for “ending the drug war”.
“Legalize it and tax the hell out of it” was never a good argument.
