Follow the (tax) money. Alcohol is ‘evil’ so they tax it. Tobacco is ‘wicked’ and it gets a slap tax. Pot is ‘holy smoke’ and they tax that too. LIEberalism is a religion full of ironic, moronic hyper critics.

They tax booze because they can and it raises a LOT of money.

Exactly. And when people get sick from it and the lawsuits begin, whine about the evils of pot and act like you are our heroes (when you have been getting tax revenues from it all along) and then demand your cut of the “take” when the lawsuits are in done. And then spend the money on pet projects and not on “pot” education, etc. as promised.

That is how the game works here in Colorado.
