The Empty Suit (BOOKER)must have spent too much time in the “Choom Wagon”. To have the Feds get in the pot business for tax reasons as the country further stupifys itself is insane. The latest buzz is about an opioid crisis and the government wants to sue the drug manufacturers. If they could collect taxes on heroin, would they whistle a different tune?
Recently President Donald J. Trump Directed the Administration to Use All Appropriate Authority to Respond to Opioid Emergency. Building upon the recommendations in the interim report from the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis, President Donald J. Trump has instructed his Administration to use all appropriate emergency and other authorities to respond to the crisis caused by the opioid epidemic.
With regard to the reader’s comment that “If they could collect taxes on heroin, would they whistle a different tune?”: I guess the reader doesn’t know that heroin is an opioid. And the government already collects taxes from the various pharma companies that manufacture these opioids.
Also, I haven’t read a thing about a pot epidemic. I’d much prefer COLLECTING tax money for pot sales, than our archaic system that SPENDS money on pot control
