I'd love to see marijuana get taxed and regulated.

Here in Texas we have to many Mexican Drug Lords pushing their shit into Texas, and that has fuct up the economy and created cities in the middle of bum fuck no where border towns. That an if you can get illegal marijuana into Texas you sure as hell can get Illegal immigrants into Texas.

I think if California passes AB 390 that state is going to banking a shit ton of money and organized crime is be revolutionized.

The Mexican Mafia is gonna have to re-think their plan on how to bank off Americans.

Also if the Mexican Mafia or gang related people break into people's houses we are going to see a lot more killings. Here in Texas you'd get shot in the fucking face for breaking and entering; let alone trying to steal a man's business.

I'm surprised you're the one to post this since it is so preliminary. There is no story here yet really. Someone is introducing legislation in California? That's not news and happens all the time.

Call me when it shows chance of passing.

Good lord.

...And in recent news, the homicide rate in the state of California appears to be dropping at a rate of 5% per month, ever since the legalisation of innocuous pyschotropic substances. Fast food and pizza delivery industries are thriving; so much so, stock has more than doubled and shows no indication of stopping, it would appear that the only difficulty these businesses face anymore is keeping up with demand...

That's nice, but even if it passed, I'm not sure it would change much of anything.

Federal narcotics laws would still apply, and federal authorities would still enforce them in California. It's not even clear that the feds couldn't get access to the records of who has paid the tax in order to find and prosecute those individuals.

It's true that not having state police enforce the laws would make it easier to "get away with," but it would hardly be "legal" in any meaningful sense as long as it's a federal crime...

light it don't hide it. Then Tax the shit out of it! Shit the feds could charge the same fucking rate or maybe even 50% less than straight value and we will be out of the red in no time.

I'm sorry, who died and made you king again?

It's quite obvious this is very speculative so I would suggest simply not posting until fits your myopic criteria.

For the rest of us, the subject matter alone is enough.

Good day.
