    Just legalize pot and illegalize ( lol) cigarettes. Even with a lesser tax rate than cigarettes, the state would still be raking it in.

    Of course with the tax and spend mentality of our government officials we would not reduce our debt with the funds but instead spend it on another bridge that goes nowhere.

    Fuel taxes are at ~46 cents/gal or roughly 1/6 cost.
    How many Millions of gallons do we buy everyday?


    I Stand corrected on the cigarette taxes
    the highest rate in the nation?
    NY at $5.85/pack in TAX

    didn't we leave his Majesty's empire for a reason like this?

    Just sayin

    Yes we did. To even suggest that we "tax the hell" out of anything, is treasonous.

    At least in 1933 the government was smart enough to figure out that prohibition does not work.

    Legalize it. Tax it. Move on.

    As far as driving while impaired, I don't see a difference between alcohol, pain killers or marijuana.

    I'll be interested to see how many dispensaries are around in a couple of years, once the newness wears off.

    I'm kind of surprised how low Colorado's are in comparison, probably not for long though...
