I work for a company that makes high proof alcohol (192 proof for most) for different beverage companies to make their own products(certain triple distilled vodkas). Sitting on the railroad tracks in the plant last week were three cars fully loaded with 28,00 gallons of alcohol. Thecombined state and federal taxes on each car were roughly $1,014,280 USD. HOLY SHIT! 3 mil in taxes sitting in front of me why can't they just do that for weed?
Because Prescription medication businesses like bayer and tylenol and advil, will go out of business.
Why would you want these sorry state and federal gov'ts to get their grubby little hands on more money? If they can't fulfill their obligations to the people with a yearly budget of $4+ trillion, what difference is a couple more billion going to make? For that price, our streets should be lined with gold, education completely "free", healthcare "free", hell man, just start passing out cars like Oprah. Grass needs to be legal and not taxed. End of story.
