Is nothing sacred anymore!?

As do I

One would think the leftists in government would want more police protections for their marijuana business shops since they get a hefty % of sales tax extortions from the sales.

Pot was decriminalized, then robbery was decriminalized. Everyone in CA is now ****ed. Those who voted in favor of the transformation deserve to be, those who voted against it don't.

“That’s untaxed product going out the doors.”

Nope.
Just like cigarettes and booze the tax is paid by the distributor when they receive the product. They just get their money back when the product is sold at retail.

Willie Sutton would approve, rob where the cash is. Let them take credit cards and this would end right away.

Who didn’t see this coming?

Popcorn Sutton?

Jeeves delivers my $600 single malt scotch, no need to get it at the ruffian store.

We do the same with our $700 bottles of wine.

The wine is delivered via armored truck with armed former un vaccinated SPEC op guys!

Personally couldn’t care less nor give a DemRat’s ash about what happens with their pot sales, thieving and leftist tumultuous tempests concerning their loserville sacred weed. Enjoy the suck leftards of your own vices.

“Nope.

Aha, no wonder why the authorities don’t seem to care. They got theirs!

So you see who the criminals are?

[mylife]

No, the gov owns your vices. :(

You can thank the mob for states changing their laws on that practice. Michael Franzese ran a scam where he would open up a gas station under a corporation and fake names, collect the gasoline tax and never pay it to the state of NY. When the state caught on they would simply shut down and run the same scam again with different identities. It was brilliant because the gas stations were otherwise run legitimately.

[Salman]

Like any other business (in San Francisco).

[gundog]

I’m sure the raids would stop if the thieves found out the merch isn’t insured.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

WHAT?? Drug legalization was going to end drug crime. This can’t be right.

this smash and grab shite is getting SERIOUS!

That brings to mind another consideration. There was federal legislation a while back that prohibited banks from doing business with cannibas shops. So they operate with a lot of cash on hand. Thus, Willie Sutton’s wisdom.
