The more they tax it the more it will go to the black market aka un-taxed market.

You have to strike a balance.

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?

They don't track sales. They pull the tax records from each business. Dispensary A paid $475k . Break down that to average store prices, they have an approximate number of money taken in.

The IRS / gov, looked at average sales for Al Capones store fronts. Noticed numbers didn't jive with what they got from informants, his competitors etc. It's all about t money.
The feds don't need to legalize weed, for their share. They have the IRS to do the dirty work. Them & R.I.C.O

This was all about $ so we can waste even more of it. Onto the next loophole they can exploit. First vehicle registration, next up hmm, real property "registration" fees? They'll invent something, no doubt. Not because they need money, but because they want to blow through it like a 21yo with a mastercard in las vegas.

Close the thread, we have a winner.

It is so much easier to create a tax than to remove or reduce unneeded taxes.

Overcrowded schools , shitty roads, more crime, more homeless, downtown is a pit of degenerates roaming the streets , emergency room visits are at an all time high for pot related problems, one of the highest rates of teens using pot, traffic sucks beyond comprehension , how again are these tax dollars helping ?

All those issues were here before state legalization. Schools are the union / teachers fault. shitty roads are from "fees" and taxes being diverted to other needs the state over promised on. The degenerates are roving bands of "black" who are never mentioned, were blatantly ignored and denied from .gov & LE as the problems downtown. Traffic has sucked for at least 5 years, easy.

I hear the Looper wants to spend $110 million on making Colorado more bicycle friendly. How about he spend the money on what it was intended for and quit trying to raise our taxes to compensate?
