If only this guy could take his newfound appreciation of capitalism and 1), apply the concept to all activities and 2)share his knowledge with all the lefties.
The plan was always to buy a little bit from the legal shop and then keep the receipt to cover for the cheaper stuff they get from their old dealers. Washington could have one legal shop. They’re only worried about the sales receipt.
When it comes to getting high,
leftists suddenly understand
market forces.
Don’t harsh on mellow, man!
It’s the same in Colorado. But the cartels are getting business mainly from the state! Thousands of small grows have sprung up in basements and sheds and they produce much better product than the mass growers (some of which are cartel owned) who produce for the stores.
The small growers have lower prices too (no tax). People look upon the retail stores like a 7-11, just grab a little something when you get caught short.
Govt never changes, and never solves problems. It just increases in size and power. People work around it as best they can.
So much for the talk of “tax the hell out of it”.
Send the revenuers in to get their share like they do when people make moonshine...
I suspect his newfound insight is situational.
LOL. I was gonna say there may be a good side to this. All these libturd potheads will learn some basic Econ.
One of the points pot addicts made for legalization was that the government could regulate and tax it. Now they are bitching about it.
The same thing happened in Washington a couple of years ago when they privatized the state liquor stores. The state imposed heavy taxes, and liquor wound up being even more expensive than it was before.
