Don’t worry, they will waste this money.
But I still need to go to an ABC store to buy liquor.
it escalated quickly.
hopefully this will lower the price since there are only one dispensary since mmj started last year.
They likely won’t make that much since illegal weed will be lots cheaper.
Did he wear blackface again?
bet the mortgage you’ll need an ID to buy weed. That’s racist dontcha know.
Good luck getting pothead drivers off the road, too.
VA doesn’t have a standard for weed impaired driving. Which makes prosecution a lot more expensive and getting a conviction a lot more difficult.

Marijuana tax revenue collected in the 8 states with operational marijuana programs in 2020 was $2.3 billion: https://www.fool.com/research/marijuana-tax-revenue-by-state/
Goes along with dumbed down standards in math.
China wins in a walk.
It’s good people in the state of Virgina can now have, use & grow their own cannabis.
I do not trust the commie gov’t of Va to do anything positive with the $$$ from cannabis taxes.
Probably - but it won't be used to as murderous effect as if it had been left in cartel hands.
And that’s gross, not net. And it’s chump change.
Loser State bump for later....
For folks who have no idea, if you know any legal eagles, judges, prosecutors...
Ask about the difficulties and costs associated with getting pothead drivers off the roads.
It’ll be an eye-opening conversation.
Good Point.
Michigan now has marijuana businesses popping up all over. My home township has forbidden them, but the one we live in has a very busy Lume drive up.

How much does it cost a state to collect a sales tax?
And it’s chump change.
Compared to what?
I assume that they kicked the can down the road on retail sales until 2024 simply because they did not yet have their act together on how they would regulate it.
But the net result will be a playground for cartels and MS-13 retailing in the meantime.
If DC or Maryland starts retail recreational sales, I’d bet Virginia’s timeframe would speed right up.

I don't know any such. What have you heard?
