I see two possible outcomes. Either Colorado or BI Hawaii.

Colorado we all know what is happening. Goverment is moving in. They're moving in to take control, and in the process they slowly strangle their golden goose. Taxes? F**k You. DIVE DIVE DIVE and back underground we go. California will be next.

Contrast that to the Big Island. Government knows exactly where the money sits, and it is cool with it. You want to grow on your land? No problem, just keep it under 20 plants. They pass an ordance making mj the lowest legal priority. Behing J walking.

Every year a flood of money roars into town. And the county takes its cut on taxes at every level. The economy roars, everybody is happy everybody gets a cut, see ya next year.

It's the difference between skimming cream vs milking the cow... with sandpaper gloves.
Excellent post/Analogy! At this rate they'll be pushing us all underground again and then they wont get their $$$ยขยข - Hypocrites is the word constantly coming to mind.
