Cannabis Tax

[pcosmar]

I hate tax.. In concept and in practice.

That said,, it is one of the common objections to "legalization" by some..
It is also a strong selling point for the tax siphons and the economically literate as well.

I have watched two states.. Oregon and Washington both set it up and tax it differently. Both healthy tax.
Oregon is at 25% and Washington is a bit more..

Being a Homeless guy with limited resources,,I pay attention to prices,,as they affect me..
I was able to be a useful human and earned a $40 trip to the store.
I have a favorite in the area,, you will see why.

3.5 gr Kelso Kreeper "Purple Punch" (I)
3.5 gr Hi Guys "Acapulco Gold" (S)
1 gr Evergrow " Cherry Pie" (I)
all nice bud, 22+%

I got $5 change back.. $35.oo for 8 gr AFTER TAX.
(those of you who are not mathematically dyslexic will figure this out)

now there are 5 or 6 stores in the Longview/Kelso area.

Give the devil his cut and get it into the Market... I am seeing it working.

and if you are near, (honest free plug)

I could almost accept a "Leave me the phuck alone" Tax,,,, if they would actually leave me the Phuck alone.

It's not a "leave me the phuck alone" tax. It's like all the rest, a "you just got phucked" tax.

Can we just call them tarrifs instead of taxes, I think that will sell better politically.

Mixed result so far..
On the plus side,, several competing Legal Retail Stores nearby.
Price after a 37% tax,, less than in Decades for better quality.. less that $5 a gram. (Though that was a budget deal shopping run)
Reduced Fear factor due to legal issue.

Ignorant Fearmongering continues as Tax Ticks lose a source of income,, and seek ways to milk the public for "safety".


So far a net positive despite the tax,,, and I could live with it if they would quit threatening me.
