28. "Revenuers!!!!!!!!"

Coming to bust that still cuz it is untaxed. Precisely right there. And I know a ton of the large growers that are getting rich off pot. we are talking building 500K homes, buying land, rich and once it does become legal, it is time for them to pay taxes like everyone else and I will SUPPORT law enforcement and IRS efforts to collect taxes on the growers, the manufacturers, the trimmers (who should go on the payroll) and everyone else that profits off cannabis.

Do I think those taxes should be higher than other things? NO. Di I think that cannabis sold as medicine at a dispensary should be tax exempt? YES I DO, just like Oxycontin is.

I have a cannabis biz to launch right now and in my biz plan taxes are well discussed.....

And when talking about METH, you all are not getting it. There is a entire generation of kids that have been given meth since being toddlers. MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF CHILDREN.....My grandkids are that way. ADHD diagnosis at 3 and four and since then all kinds of speed through various drugs. Once they turn 18 and can no longer keep their scripts they are going to be DOING ANYTHING to get their hands on METH, it is easy to buy and ten bucks is all it takes. And all them drugs the were prescribed did NOT ONE FUCKING THING to keep the kids in control. NOTHING.
