I'm thinking if it has the word TAX in it,,, that might sail past most politicians fast
a google search found that there is a 10% tax in it. which is abuse but not as bad as other states. however, apparently murphy would like it to be higher than 10%+. apparently being free to do what you want to do with your own body has a high government fee attached to it.
and im serious about recreational crack. the government has no right to make any drugs illegal and has no right to require prescriptions for medication. do we still pretend to be a free people or have we given up that notion and accepted the reality that we arent?

Of course all of the proposed legislation includes a provision for taxing weed, and the estimated income potential from legalized marijuana is ~$300 million per year. One of the few remaining details that needs to be hashed-out (no pun intended) is the exact percentage of the tax that will be imposed on legal marijuana sales.
Nine months is unrealistic for such a law to be enacted. Even if it were, you aren't going to wake up one morning and find bags of weed for sale in the 7-11.
Look at Canada. Was supposed to be legal in April and then got pushed back to mid-October, but it still will take until next spring until dispensaries open. The logistics of how to sell and license sellers had to be put into place.

I wish I liked weed, although it's really expensive. Wine is cheaper .

Bear in mind that, although "modern" marijuana is pretty pricey, it is also 57% to 67% more potent than the weed from the '70s era, so one or two tokes might be all that one needs in order to... feel good... and one joint might last for a week or so.

I don't know about that.
Weed lasts a long time for people like me who smoke a couple two-three puffs each evening, while a bottle of wine costs me maybe $7 or $8 when I buy it by the case during my favorite wine store's sales. Say at $8 a bottle and you drink half a bottle a day, that's $4 a day X 30 in a month means you're spending $120 a month on wine. I don't spend that much on weed.

Should have read ahead, but yes. That's about right.
I spend about $100 on weed every two or three months. Of course, I travel a lot and I don't take it with me because it's available where I am going and I don't want to get busted for having something stupid in the car, so now it lasts longer.

I don't believe you, Retriever. I think you fully intended that pun!
