Nobody wants to regulate the number of tomato plants I grow, and if they did I would ask the same question: "Explain to me the need for regulation."

And with respect to taxation, it is theft accomplished with the explicit threat of violence, and no less so because that threat comes from the government. From a more practical and less philosophical perspective, ANY more funding for the government is invariably a bad thing, regardless of the subject of the taxation. People tend to complain only when the proposed tax is on something they personally care about.

I have never understood the vitriol on this site re: dispensaries. Don't patronize them! Who gives a shit. Many options are available. Grow your own. Go underground.
I third your opinion. And I wish others could see that light. And when I argued the same points on regulation to a group of 150 people in Longmont in Oct, I was booed. They wanted to bann the words hemp, cannabis and medical marijuana on signs. Ban the leaf. I never used any of that myself, however one should be able to use whatever they want. Having others give up my rights for me because they don't value their rights is disturbing in the USA.
