Taxing it would simply cause it to be treated the same as any other good in California. It would have a sales tax applied.

The WOSD (War on Some Drugs), and its oppressive child "asset forfeiture", is primarily the result of marijuana prohibition.

It’s like withholding booze from an alcoholic, you only enable them if you give them more.
