“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.

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.

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.
