California has a very highly developed LEGAL pot biz, yet black market pot still comes in:
Isn’t that amazing..?
Not it isn’t.
Cuz while the authorities did plan to impose a tax, they have instead PLUNDERED the biz and are now weighing it down with all manner of onerous regulations.
Yes, they eff up whatever they touch.
THAT is why we still have these smugglers.
All that, and yet the Border Patrol receives ZERO funding from the many state and local taxes to bigfoot the competition???
Therefore:
The United States Border Patrol should be allowed to maintain a retail duty-free operation as a cost-saving measure.
