1.8%

One point eight percent tax on medical marijuana. Now that is a reasonable number!! It seems not everybody is ready to jump on the greed wagon like some legislators with a 15% tax per gram. :thumbsup:

Good to see once in a while that greed isn't the over riding factor.

Why do you say 15% per GRAM?? Don't you mean 15%...period? What's the difference between 15% per gram or 15% per pound? 15% is 15%

Because that's how the law is written that is being presented. And if an oz is $280 x 15% = $42.00 tax and is a form of 420 so maybe they are trying to be funny. And the oz ends up costing $322.00. But, legalization would or should bring prices way down if more people can grow to meet the demand. And that doesn't account for other added taxes a town or county may try to tack on. :smokin:

As I've said before, everyone is trying to get rich off the MMJ movement, even the government. Thats capitalism.

Our MMJ movement getting highjacked really sucks. 15% tax per gram is a joke. The U.S. supreme ct. ruled against raich because of profiteering/commerce, now we have the states wanting to make a profit via commerce.

What's next, the president having his own ganja farm for white house use only. lol.(hemp was already done for cloths)

We need to contact our legislatures and tell them were all for legalization but we can not have the government in the dispensary business. Get them to change that part of the bill and it shouldn't be too bad.

Well shit, 15% per gram, that's amazing........I actually do hope it fails...:jointsmile:

Steve sarich is going to testify before the committee about this bill. Maybe joining him would do better than a phone call. Legalization is not the correct way to present it. Is not a public offense to possess or grow one's own cannabis is the correct legal way to present it.

All this other hookey crap is just a spin on things to justify theft of more money from us the people. Does anyone one really think that "if" this bill passes, the State or others will be able supply the demand with MONSON v. DEA making it clear one must get a DEA registration first. The DEA isn't giving them away nor are they going to just allow this to happen.

The only way to keep us supplied is ourselves under the current laws, and hope that a guy by the name of sarich gets our MMJ laws changed to fully cover us from arrest and prosecution. If not we are all FUCKED......
