GOING AFTER POT WASTES RESOURCES
I am certainly relieved that our district attorney will be spending
precious resources prosecuting medical marijuana dispensaries.
I am sure there is enormous wisdom in closing down taxpaying entities
that have business reasons for not selling to minors and observing
other regulations.
Instead, we can cut tax revenue and force sales back onto the black
market, where there is no incentive to observe any regulations.
Clearly a major public policy win.
