Prop AA: The weed tax

[Irving]

The premise of Amendment 64 was to "Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol", thus it should be taxed like alcohol as well. No additional taxes beyond those that apply to booze are acceptable to me under that premise, thus I voted no on 66.

In my mind, "regulated like" and "taxed like" are two different things. I suppose that card could be played either way.

If someone puts a 'free stuff' sign on a box by the trash, go for it.

Having to agree to be taxed was the bad part of the bargain to get it approved. That half of the agreement is why I voted against it then.

My point is that it sets a precedent that is a bad precedent to set. It shouldn't be allowed for any reason.
