    Not my thing personally, but just looking at it as this person:



    Your spot on, but the black market will always be there regardless of the tax rate. My point was that your average "pothead" is going to keep getting it where hes getting it. Even if its "Legal".

    Chalk another one up for low information voters.

    We want weed. We were told it would raise tax revenues for schools, and believed it, but we don't understand TABOR. We don't like that the people that wrote this measure didn't cover retail sales. We don't like that the people that wrote this didn't address the tax rate. And yet we still voted for it...

    And we blame people that don't smoke weed for the shortcomings, and tell them they don't understand marijuana at all.



    Comical.

    Oh.
    This I don't disagree with. Same as the whole iTunes/piracy thing.

    As I pointed out .. JUST LIKE MP3's........


    It's base human nature to not want to break the law.

    so if the legal route is easy even if more expensive people are likely to do it ... hense how the apple itunes music store took off and lowered the pirating of music ( note I said lowered not eliminated .. alcohol may be legal but moonshiners still exist...) .. it was easy to use convenient and legal.

    I think that's more nurture than nature but that's a completely different thread.

    Sticky Caulk?
    Eewwww.........



    Now wait a minute, if the dope taxes are to go to edumacational purposes then why are they going to throw a ballot inititave next year on an edumactional tax that equates to 20%ish???

    Now you all realize why they didn't give a damn about MagPul leaving, they knew they had more than enough revenue brewing in the bongs.
