this is monumentally wrong on many levels, this country was founded to escape tyrannical taxation

first

taxes are not supposed to be arbitrary measures to meet budget gaps, this does not fix problems but allows the dysfunction that creates these budget gaps to continue. The taxes should be the cost the government incurs in the regulation of the said market for the welfare of the republic. Irresponsible government should not be rewarded.

What is the cost of regulation that it costs 50% tax to legalize it? How about all the money we are going to save not enforcing marijuana laws? What about that savings in the budget? Were does this factor in?

second

marijuana should be legal because it is benign, because the laws that are the basis of its illegality are flawed and the research they are founded on inaccurate, not because it is still dangerous yet offers the government an income stream which outweighs the potential humanitarian costs of it being legal such as death from alcoholism and cancer from cigarettes which are used heavily in comparison.

third

taxation on a federal level incurs federal regulation which is not required and would create a new system under which those who are not compliant STILL ARE BREAKING THE LAW AND SUBJECT TO PENALTY.

since it is already subject to state regulation marijuana regulation and taxation should simply be managed on the state level with laws that are relative to that particular states resources

fourth

this will undermine the potential for hemp to be used as textile, food, fuel or fiber which has more potential impact for reinvigorating the economy

As righteous as your intents may be, you are just pissing into the wind. We are all slaves working to make money for our masters to spend as they please. Thousand of people sit in offices all day long figuring out ways to fleece you of your money and how to spend it. That is a fact sir. The only way to survive the game is to play by their rules and find a way that works best for you. Hiding from taxes will bring on heat, trying to pass laws without taxes will never get traction, imagining a world without taxes is wasting your time.

Fuck that bromosapien, Weird is straight up correct. The actions of our current government are more than enough justification for me and anyone who truly has looked into the liberties granted us by the constitution to completely fuck the government off. How many a year die from OTC medications while our harmless plant continues to be demonized? I can't see how anyone in this community could hold anything other than bloodlust and animosity towards these so called masters of society for their repressive and redundant laws having torn apart so many families and crushed so many lives.

This anti marijuana..yeah I said marijuana ..thing will end. Semantics is what it is..Marijuana, Cannabis is the same thing in the eyes of most. Keep fighting the good fight. We all know this isn't going away...so does the gov.

[sdd420]

[Santa1949]

I'll need a lift to Whataburger in about 10 or so.....

Thanx

[ChemDgMillionre]

That's exactly why I said I would rather fight for my taxes than have to fight for my freedom... Bring on the fucking taxes if it keeps ppl outa jail, be real... They gotta get theirs one way or another.

Do y'all honestly think it's better to keep it illegal?

Would love to see a good federal bill pass. This one does not seem very good to me. Taxes that are too high will not kill the black market. They want to keep it illegal in states that have not legalized? How is this good policy? This is a keep the status quo bill while appearing to liberalize.
