A draft bill floating around the Capitol late this week suggests that a new ballot question on pot taxes should repeal recreational pot in the state constitution if voters don’t approve 15 percent excise taxes on retail pot and a new 15 percent marijuana sales tax. Those would be in addition to regular state and local sales taxes.

Coloradans forget what the real drug is. Its tax money. There is no way they are going to allow pot to not be heavily taxed, at least as much as cigarettes.

Yep, it's obvious that it's not the will of the people politicians care about it's their money.

in New York City cigarettes are taxed so much that two out of every three cigarettes sold are sold on the black market. Which funds islamic terrorists. The same thing will happen with legal marijuana. If the stupid state wants to tax it so much; it will be cheaper to buy it on the black market which funds the drug dealing murderous cartels.
