A stoned population is easier to control.
Just make it a govenor edict...like your insane lockdowns.
California (IIRC) did the same thing a few years ago. The boys and girls in Sacramento were drooling at the thought of incoming tax revenue.
But guess what happened?
A lot of people started growing it and distributing it illegally in order to avoid paying taxes.
The same will happen in Pennsylvania.
I don’t think Wolf cares one bit about legalizing weed. I do think legalizing weed is all his commie loving lieutenant governor Fetterman has cared about since the last election and there is probably an agreement with the Lt. Gov. That he’ll play nice by the Governor if Wolf pushes for legalizing weed. If not, Fetterman would probably have enough leverage by now to really hurt Wolf and possibly the state Democrat party.
Let’s see...Take a stupid idea that’s not generating tax dollars in other Liberal states and double down on it!
That’s the ticket!
Socialist Democrats are clueless and and have NO IDEA what propels and sustains a healthy, vibrant economy.
Hint: It AIN’T locking down your population and throwing away the key!
LIBERATE WISCONSIN! LIBERATE AMERICA!
Lujan-Grisholm (D-NM) has floated this in recent weeks too. Kaching! $$$$$$$ the only language other than a rope dems understand.
Why stop there?
How about prostitution?
Drug them into submission.
It didn’t work with allowing grocery stores to sell alcohol and it didn’t work with gambling. Wolf is a dangerous tool and needs to be removed.
Didn’t work for California, did it?
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Here we have a typical democrat who wants some Pennsylvania people to get smoked out of their minds to gain a few dollars in tax money. This is all democrats know, that being to use whatever means to get money to fund their stupid ideas. Governor Wolf, try doing something within the law to fund your dumb ideas instead of letting some people to break the law to get those funds. Try doing it the right way for a change.
It's a street corner drug...why would anyone buy it in a store and pay tax....and tell the government they're a weed eater.
Sad to see a state where I was born,raised and have strong roots turn into a total sh*tshow politically.
This is what passes for "science" for the Democrat Dictators and Fauci.
Dem. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer made certain at all times without fail during the lockdowns for Covid, to keep all marijuana stores open without interruption. Some said it was for the tax money she was greedy to grab. Gardening was locked down and yellow Do Not Cross ribbons were put in that dept. in big box grocery and discount stores.
To be fair same with liquor stores.
Total closures, then 10 people limit, then closed, then 50 people for various churches and synagogues from Feb.-Oct.
Whitmer, like Payday candy bars, is nutty.
I’m not against legalizing a lot of things, including weed, for adults. But it won’t do a small fraction of what getting rid of the crazy lockdown rules would do for the economy and tax base.
Wolf is an IDIOT; that’s how they sold that crap here in California, “legalize marijuana and tax it, that will solve the states budget problems”.
WELL IT DIDN’T!!!!
Just added a lot of lowlife criminals and shysters to to the continuing welfare rolls here in the garbage/shit on the streets state.
