Legalized weed is just another way for the government to 1) get tax $$ and 2) keep the populace stupid. If it were truly for medicinal purposes, you’d be able to get your medical provider to write a prescription and it would be paid for by insurance. Anyone see that happening anytime soon? I didn’t think so. Let’s wait and see how many DUIs, where the “I” is cannabis, start racking up before the dumbed-down citizens start complaining.
The title of the post could replace “weed” with “alcohol”. It’s easier to tax vices like alcohol, weed, and online sports betting than it is to just forever keep nickel and diming taxpayers with the water boarding taxation strategy of municipal, state and federal governments.
