Well said. That is the CORE ISSUE of the entire situation plaguing America.
That would be my guess as well. It isn't as if anyone did any serious market research on it.
This is, actually, a classic example of taxation being used for dual, conflicting purposes: you can either generate revenue with it or you can use it to diminish the taxed activity, but not both. They work against one another. If the state wants to maximize revenue they should be putting up pro-marijuana billboards - "Hey, kids, it's got Vitamin M!" If not, expect taxation to depress sales. This isn't rocket science, and they do have very well-developed competition.
Wonder why they don't do pre-employment (and random) drug testing for alcohol. It's more dangerous than pot.

Not sure I understand. What freedoms do you lose if I get high?

Druggies cheating the tax man. Do tell.
The same freedoms I lose if you promote abortion, or molest children, or endorse queer marriages or queers in the military.
As you defend dope smoking and the cultural damage that does to our nation; defend those other liberal pet projects too, mmm-kay?
If I molest children, I lose my freedom.
If I endorse queer marriages, you lose no freedom.
If I endorse queers in the military, you lose no freedom.
Care to try again? Perhaps, making sense this time?

Oh God. I asked sarcastically and rhetorically for you to defend child molestation, abortion, faggotry ....
AND YOU DID!
How have you been a FReeper since 1997?
Libertopian Orthodoxy. Ugh
Friggin’ junkies.
Silly attempt at a dodge. Failed.
Let's try it this way and perhaps you'll get it...
If I promote abortion, what freedom do you lose?
If I molest children, what freedom do you lose?
If I endorse queer marriages, what freedom do you lose?
If I endorse queers in the military, what freedom do you lose?

How about freedom to pursue life, liberty and the happiness of pursuit? These abominations that you endorse are anathema to the Constitution and to the core values this country was founded on. I could remind you that our Constitution was intended for a moral people, but I suspect - with your Godless values - you use the Constitution as toilet paper.
You really believe our freedoms are not under assault by your liberal ideals?
I would maintain that faggotry in the military will cost me my freedom as an American when they are called into combat. Already we know that my freedom of Religion is in serious doubt as laws favoring queer marriages are undermining my freedom of Religion.
And you. You sit there and argue that killing the unborn does no harm to our basic freedom of life?
Think of every vile cuss word you ever heard. Apply them to yourself.
How shocking.
People don't like paying taxes. Who knew?
Guessing there will be an adjustment in street-level prices. Probably the adjustment will impact prices of all streams feeding this market.
Unhinged? Sure. Liberals piss me off.
I can’t believe how infested this place is with liberals.
You sound like...
“But resist, we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.” – Al Sharpton, August 9, 2011
These abominations that you endorse are anathema to the Constitution and to the core values this country was founded on.
I have endorsed nothing. You are obviously unhinged. Get help.
Oh, and answer the questions after you get it.

Hey, don't call me unhinged. I'm no fan of the government or its thugs.
(NSA, did you get that? Not a fan.)

So the wording of the constitution is nothing more to you than Al Sharpton babblings?
You are one deranged leftist douche bag.
