For your interest.
No matter what it is, it's always about government can skim (or chop) off the top.

Good luck with that plan California.
You're legally allowed to grow 6 plants and entrepreneur hippies will grow huge weed bushes and undercut your price.

On a retail level, it costs about $35 to buy a small bag of good quality medical marijuana in Los Angeles, enough to roll five or six joints.
I don't know what "a small bag" amounts to. Back in the '90s, you could buy an eighth of an ounce for about $50.

Now they’ll have to get a $15/hr job to keep up their weed consumption...

Californians will just start growing their own, or buy on the (inevitable) black market.

Washingon state taxes pot at 37%, yet it still managed to collect over $250M in taxes from over $600M in recreational sales in 2016. It’s already surpassed those numbers in 2017.

They’ll just buy it on the black market for cheap. In the meantime, Marijuana legalization will provide cover for black market sales.
To: BenLurkin
Should that also be deductible?

don’t they realize smoking pot causes global warming?

i really don’t see the problem: just grow your own or buy at half price from your friendly local neighborhood drug dealer.
In Colorado, the cops have pretty much given up on enforcing most pot laws because they realize that all they’re doing is enforcing the legal monopolies of the licensed stores and that they are no longer enforcing drug laws but simply going after black marketeers.

Bringing back black market dope. Raise the price of legal weed high enough that it becomes profitable to smuggle it and grow it illicitly.

Anyone that that thought the government could be heavy handed enforcing marijuana laws is going to discover that was nothing compared to] how they enforce it's taxation.
Finally, a tax liberals can hate

I’m reminded of the time Johnny Carson asked George Carlin something to the effect of “what can be done about the drug problem?” George responded “bring the price down”
