Colorado senator wants tax on medical marijuana - The Denver Post

I have to wonder how he can support dispensaries as non profit and expect to get taxes off the sick people buying MMJ.

Sen Romer seems to be all over the place in regards to Medical Marijuana and I get the impression he is unsure what his stand is.

I have no problem with the taxation of Marijuana, but I do take issue with a special excise tax for MMJ. If we were placing an excise tax on a legal product its one thing, then we would be adding taxes for recreational users. I am in no way in favor of creating an additonal tax on Medical Marijuana. Since there is no relief from insurance companies on the price of MMJ, the last thing we need is something else to make it less affordable for those in need.

Legalize it and tax it but leave medical marijuana alone.
