Just like in Canada where our cigarette taxes are insanely high. There is a massive black market in cigarettes and you’ll find everyone from lawyers to doctors to businessmen smoking them on a regular basis. A 25-pack of cigarettes can cost anywhere from $10 to $12, depending on which province you are in (prices seem to range from $5 in red states to an insane $14 in New York). When you charge confiscatory taxes for any product, people will find a way around it.
“it has removed the criminal element”
Keep dreaming...
Your exact comments were made of booze when the amendment to legalize it was being passed.
How does one ever make a comment of booze? (Duck’n & runn’n!)
Well, you drink a lot then try to say something. :)
Why do you want to ruin police rectal searches?
