Taxing Marijuana in California

[Elin48]

I voted in favor of this, but unfortunately it didn't pass. Some day I hope it will.

If marijuana got taxed, i wouldn't have to clamor for the classes and credit hours i need to graduate at ucsd. One thing they need to make sure of though is restricting the growth of cannabis to licensed growers and outlawing any big corporations from selling the final product (as opposed to seeds and horticulture supplies). otherwise, the industry would become like tobacco.

Put down & shamed for 80yrs by the American government, Law enforcement, the court systems & big business, now double taxed, F___ that. FREE WEED ! PLANT THE SEED !

We have a lot of dumbasses in the world, and people believe marijuana should stay illegal because these dumbasses will suck at smoking weed. If we legalize it, they will make Marijuana look bad by being super lazy and getting retarded jobs, acting stupid, not going to school and possibly doing harder drugs.

how do I open a cannabis dispensary

[joe80dman]

And for those who grow their own, will they be taxed as well? Will this open the door for house-to-house searches for those who homegrow, so as for the AUTHORITIES to ascertain their tax LIABILITY? If Cali is broke, so what? Since when is the government more important than the People?

[dushbagage]

dont support the republican party!!

[joe80dman]

@dushbagage: Better yet, don't support ANY party. Is there really a difference?

[pdhahan]

dont support either party, go independant and find parties that dont take insane amounts of money from big corporations ( n yes there out there)... u ll get the same BS from both dems and rebs

[Kmascak1]

[leeea7x]

[js21392]

[PUIncubus]

i dont think anyone who cant spell really or sense should move to cali for that specific reason... jk lol

[js21392]

haha, u got me, lol

[islandbee]

@js21392 I live in WA state and we are trying to pass an initiative (I-1068) this Nov to fully legalize and decriminalize MJ for 18 and over....a much more "filthier" initiative than Cali's. He's talking about a 1 oz limit for personal in CA, and it WA state there would be no limit. And we don't make sense b/c we aren't CA??? Go to sensiblewashington(dot)org for more info. We are still trying to qualify for the ballot, but WA is definitely on board about MJ.

[js21392]

@islandbee Ur right, my bad, i must have forgotten about the other states that have legalized it or are trying to legalize it. Its great to hear that WA state is behind this fight. I just wish more states would join along and maybe we can finally get this legalized on the national scale instead of just state.

The war on drugs is a failed policy eating billions of dollars and destroying lives. End prohibition and start the healing process please!

[ItsJustARide314]

$81 billion a year... what a fucking farce this war is...

[notabuzzkill]

Legalize/decriminalize marijuana.

[colemckelvie]

why does the voice over guy sound like a gay 12 year old?

[Andrewsonfire]

tax and regulate marijuana every where. California is a good start, though.

[joe80dman]

@Andrewsonfire: TAX and REGULATE? Just who will be authorized to REGULATE this naturally occurring substance? I believe in freedom, and if you allow any government entity to become involved with your freedoms, either by TAXING or REGULATING, you'll quickly lose them. If the state is broke,... TOUGH! Not your problem, not your fault.
