(Reuters) - The city attorney of bankrupt San Bernardino, California, has a novel idea for raising new revenue - open medical marijuana dispensaries to sell pot.
As San Bernardino struggles to deliver a bankruptcy exit plan two years after it filed for Chapter 9 protection, city attorney Gary Saenz says marijuana sales should be part of the southern California city's income.

They should legalize prostitution while they're at it.

The best bet would be a tax on undocumented residents.

Naa, cut the small stuff.
Just lease the entire city to the cartels if morality no longer matters and you want the big bucks.

They could partner with a cartel and offer cocaine, heroin and other assorted items.

There are nine states in the union where the government maintains a direct monopoly on the sale of hard liquor. Marijuana is just the next logical step for a Government addicted to money.

Even the Taxifornia Libs would have to hire more people to figure out how to spend all the new revenue....well, we could build more prisons which we need.

I knew a lot of guys in college who supplemented their income with marijuana sales. They were subject to arrest and incarceration.
But I guess it’s okay if the vending party is the State.

No matter what the source itll never be enough. They can tax the air and water but itll never be enough to fund their perpetually broken agenda. Isnt this a text book defn of insanity?

Prostitution is legal in Nevada. California should do a study and find out how it's impacting the state of Nevada.

Why not declare the city an “Indian Reservation,” and open a casino?

Anyone on FR in favor of this proposal needs to search the FR archives to learn how San Bernardino CA got into this bankruptcy mess in the first place.
San Bernardino is basically a crime family that wants to sell drugs.

So. Are they going to have “City” ‘doctors’ write the dispensations, er...uhhhh...’prescriptions?’

Several state and local governments have gotten into the drug trade so far. It’s one of the preludes to slavery under fascism.
