I agree that 25% is rediculous, but it was just a starting point for a discussion. They will discuss it! That is exactly why the legislators propose such a thing to try and get people to ante up.

I do not honestly believe that the price of MMJ has any chance of doing anything except plummeting. Growers in Cali are sitting on two and three crops. They just passed a law that anyone with a card can grow up to the federal limit without fear of prosecution. Cali pot is flooding every market including the illegal markets and driving prices through the floor.

Changing times. I do believe they will allow MMJ for a whole host of new conditions soon, effectively legalizing the herb as in Cali. Once this program has reached some sort of maturity they will let it grow as fast as it can and not be chaos. Adding conditions as growth permits.

I dont want MMJ to be taxed and honestly I dont think that they will. The senator suggested it, they will discuss it, and if MMJ patients call up and make some racket with their representatives it could only be a GOOD thing. By discussing it openly and honestly with our doctors, out legisltors, and even the LAW we can definitely make headway in these changing times.

Some states have a marijuana tax stamp. I would do it in a little different way. I would let anyonbe grow as much herb as they thought they could sell....open market. All herb would be sold at a "farmers market" type place and as it was sold it would carry a tax stamp like tobacco. If the pot had the stamp it was legal. American small business flourishes, Americans growin' what they are consumin' and Uncle Sam gets his extra grease because he is the baddest gangster of them all.
