the statement about taxing pot has alot to do with it not being legal, As a taxable product Marijuana would be very difficult to govern over.reason being it can be grown by just about any one which makes it very difficult to regulate and tax. Compared to alcohol which involves a somewhat complicated process to produce. Making regulating and taxing alcohol a profitable venture for the gov.Marijuana would certainly be a difficult and expensive product to keep track of. The gov would lose a lot of money trying to find and get everyone that grows to pay their dope tax.Then the gov would have to create tasks forces to find all the black market pot that is not getting taxed and on and on it would go.
C.C.
Without question, more people would grow. But more people would smoke, too. Most people don't grow their own food, but some do.in response to johnnyorganic this is true,countless more people use pot compared to growing it. Do you think being scared of gettin' busted for growin' has anything to do with that? Don't you think those numbers would change if it was legal? You talk about home brewers ,they had to learn to brew but without the fear of getting caught hanging over their heads. If the gettin' busted was removed from the equation, there would be countless users ready willing and able to take gardening101 .
dam over here its like 300 for an ounce thats reaguler street value..if u got good connections u could get it for cheaper though..I'm not sure if i actually would like to see cannabis legalized. From a growers perspective, the probation is gold! In my area alone, ounces of good bud are going for $150! You grow 5 plants, no chance of jail on first offense (here at least) sometimes not even a criminal record, get 3 - 4 pounds total. That's almost $10,000 from almost no risk. 10 grand every 10 weeks really don't seem too bad for me. You could even live off a grand a week...
Hell, I'm probably being naive here. But what are your opinions?
WOW!! How does that add up?? 4ounces = a lb??ive got such good connections i can get it for $60 a ounce and 240 for a pound
