why dont you articulate something instead of using lowbrow expressions? the post is about taxing pot, why wouldnt it work? and i am a conservative
There is a case of Federalism, but I still opose it if it where in my state. Because laws should reflect what is good and evil not what you can get away with.
You are very conservative in your use of apostrophes. Did you skip fourth grade?
"and i am a conservative"
Like, wow, man!
Let's see, if we could get around these tricky little issues, it might work:
1. Many users might prefer to buy from sources that don't keep a record of the transaction and don't report and pay taxes on the drug transactions.
2. The participants in the illegal distribution networks might not be exactly enthusiastic about all of the sudden changing to the newly legal distribution networks which will require a lot of administrative red tape and volutarily relinquishing a large portion of their profits to the tax man.
3. Like tobacco and alcohol, pot sales to minors (a hugh chuck of the market) would be illegal and so this portion of the market would remain underground and untaxed.
4. Legalization and taxation of pot would only make enforcement of other drug laws more difficult. But I suppose you're really supporting legalization of not only pot but also meth, crack, LSD, cocaine heroine, ecstasy, and all other illicit drugs as well aren't you.
I think its a hysterical idea.
