Whatever you tax you get less of......................
My daughter and family were out there recently to visit family. They checked into an upscale hotel. Their room reeked of MJ. When they complained, the manager on duty replied sardonically "You know it is legal here now?"
My daughter replied "So is tobacco, but when you reserve a no smoking room, you expect it to be as advertised!" They had to leave and find another place.
I guess MJ has special rights in California that tobacco does not.
Let’s look at the numbers.
15% excise + 7.25% state + 1% or 2% local, county, etc whatever = “F THAT, I AIN’T PAYIN’THAT!!!”
It’s really a mystery how that could happen.
