greedy basturds!
Imagine how much they could make from gambling and prostitution!
I have tried like hell to maintain the status quo.
Guess I just have to drink more.
I bet crack and meth would do even better.
I’ll drink to that!
Collecting taxes was the REAL reason behind legalizing pot.
Crime, rape, robbery, murder, stolen Doritos ??
If I were a pot head in California I would vote against legalization. Right now pot is readily available under the “medical marijuana” charade. Legalization would only drive up the prices with taxes.
How much money is coming in from out-of-staters? It will be like casinos in the old days when Las Vegas and the reservations had a lock on them and were raking in the bucks. As soon as other states started opening them up, the tax income was diluted.
Colorado has gambling.
Cigarette or cigar smokers get the death penalty but Colorado SUBSIDIZES pot? What a screwed up world we live in.

With more increases in government spending a close second.
Ahhhh. More taxes and higher spending. A libertardian’s wet dream.
Yes, the poor put upon tobacco user...our prisons are full of them.
Probably not much. I live in Colorado. There hasn’t been as much weed-tourism as people predicted mostly because there’s no place to smoke weed out here. There’s no scene, really.
Coming out here to buy weed would be like coming out here to grill some really good chicken. You can probably buy really good chicken back home if you are quiet about it. You can also grill it right in your own backyard without getting a citation for ‘grilling in public’.
Most of the sales are to local people who take it home. You light up in public out here (light up anything) and you are asking to be publicly lectured by the anti-smoking crowd and possibly cited by police.

A downward drop seems to be the trend.
” You light up in public out here (light up anything) and you are asking to be publicly lectured by the anti-smoking crowd and possibly cited by police.”
Sounds like a terrific place ./s
.
Hmmmm ... a downward trend in crime and more money than booze ...
Just think if they forced all citizens to smoke weed or eat weed enhanced products how much more in taxes they could rake in.
Well, THAT justifies it, I guess....
Bet professional whoring would bring in more.
