MARIJUANA'S TAXING VALUE
The so-called "War on Drugs" in regard to marijuana has
failed.
We spend a fortune trying to control it, while at the same time
filling our overcrowded prisons with inmates. The only thing that has
resulted from all this attempt at control has made growing it very
lucrative - one plant is worth $4,000.
Marijuana has been around for 5,000 years, and it is very easy to
grown. Our state currently has a $15 billion budget shortfall. I
suggest we legalize marijuana, then tax its sale to the max.
Stop wasting money trying to control it.
