Only Kalifornistan can figure it how to destroy this. Just. Wow.
I would take a guess that legit shops will see closures over 2020/2021 being common. I can understand city sales taxes being applied but beyond that....it wasn’t necessary to go to this extreme.
Anybody wanna tell us how this legalization cut out the drug cartels.....?
Stupid f****** commie bastards. It’s not my state, but hearing this just infuriates me.
anyone who didnt see this coming is an...well...not paying much attention to who is governing their ‘lovely’ state.
Well, in fairness, they would have cut the dealers out if the incompetent government of California didn’t see them as a source of easy tax money.
Lot more hogs at the trough now.
It just created a new cartel in Sacramento.
Gee- didn’t see that coming /s
pot industry is shocked/ Lol=- pssst- everyone saw it coming from miles away-p
Let them crash. Pretend not to smile.
F’ing up a basically free meal?
The cartel has moved on to more lucrative things, like fentanyl and avocados
Portland Oregon price is $60 per ounce...
I never understood the business mode/tax scheme. They don’t call it weed for nothing. Anyone can grow it for pennies per ounce.
$60? That ain’t much more than we were paying for columbian in high school.
I think the tax is like 16% in Oklahoma. The junk isn’t cheap before taxes either. It ranges from and average of $266 to $343 an ounce depending on quality. I have no idea how long an ounce will last. They also sell it by the gram or 5 gram “dose” which seems really small.
California is too hip and avant garde to slip into the depths of a narco-state.
I hope I didn’t really need the closing /s tag.
There are other articles about how the (legal) pot business is being regulated to hell, particularly in northern California.
I just have to wonder how many of those people in the business have now switched from being Democrats to being Republicans...after dealing, FIRST HAND, with all of the crap that Democrats do to businesses, which they had supported, until it was THEM who got targeted.
