$5.83 million per month

That's the approximate average the weed industry generated in Taxes, per month for FYI 14-15. To the tune of $70 million. SEVENTY FUKIN MILLION. No doubt the IRS is licking their chops, waiting for the OK from DOJ . Once unleashed their ILL GOTTEN GAINS confiscation will go crazy. THEN the industry will rebuild, just as it did in CA.

Remove it from Schedule 1 and share the wealth.

YET with CO collecting $70 M they still cry there's not enough funding to pay for everything. UNLESS we remove TABOR

That's it. I'm quitting my job and opening a weed shop.

It's funny with the economy picking up, all the TABOR talk. Maybe it was one of the factors for Colorado not being hit as hard as some other states. Englewood sent out a letter to invite folks to help plan the spending of their projected surplus. If I see one more median rehab i'm gonna scream.

Go to work for one. The ##'s are staggering. A friend is the GC for some project down commerce city way $$$$. From what "i've been told" The dispensaries are starting to look for people who don't consume the product. Too many stoners, make too many mistakes.

Fu$& this state, I'm moving somewhere that makes so much revenue off of poor sucker's in slot machines and card tables that I don't have to pay stare taxes.

Yeah, most of those stoners probably filled out the "previous employment" part with "baked".

Yeah, this is what really chaps my ass. More tax revenue rolling into this state than ever before and it's still not enough? BULL & SHIT. The left won't be happy until they have taken so much of other peoples money (aka the middle class) that they've broken them down to lower class. Where the hell is the accountability in government, particularly spending, anymore. I know, I know; that concept disappeared more than a generation ago. How about they quit stealing my money and let me decide how I want to spend it, make the free-loaders earn their own keep, spend only on whats truly needed (not wanted, needed!), actually spend money on what's needed (you know, snow plow/crews, pothole maint., etc), and quit calling taxes "fees" or other deceptive names. DAMN!

I'm sure this was answered somewhere else and I'm too lazy to Google it, but how's the IRS track pot sales with a majority of it being cash?

^^ Even sadder^^ Is the few "Articles & OP ED" pieces moaning How TABOR is preventing education, feeding the homeless, and other entitlement programs from being successful.
Bad enough you take $40-100 per vehicle registration for "road fees"
