Hash and extracts are taxed like liquor.

you are on the right track... weed needs to be legalized with the same laws, regulations, restrictions, and taxes as alcohol..... including minimum age restrictions. The alcohol laws also allow individuals to brew, ferment, distill small amounts for personal use. How kewl would it be to be able to go down to the liquer store, tobacconist,(or weed store) and buy a pack of joints for $20. The quality of the different brands could range from shake from schwag to premium bud like NCDG or Ultra Haze.....priced accordingly like cigars.

Nahhh.....never happen, there is too much money to be made in taxes from it, and the bulls wouldn't have anything to do.
