$225 an ounce? WOW, I thought $30 for a family size jar of Scotch was a little pricey.

As a side note, marijuana becomes legal for sale in Colorado tomorrow for recreational use.

Colorado prepares for first recreational marijuana sales

I was just reading that. Interesting that the price of marijuana in Colorado will double as of tomorrow because of demand and the 30 some odd percent tax they have slapped on it. And so the great social experiment begins.

Phew! Glad to hear you didn't lose that sponge! :evil2:

Yep, it will be the "blood in the streets" type argument again. Calvina Fay from the Drug Free America foundation claims 'it will be a disaster.'

What is going to happen here is the same thing with concealed carry. Everyone against it thought it was going to be a disaster. Give it a few years and they will see that nothing really changes other than the states bank accounts are getting fatter from the healthy tax. Then, the rest of them will all follow suit.

I doubt we will ever see it in Texas though, we can't even get open carry passed here, much less legal sale of marijuana. Despite the huge amount of revenue it could generate. But Texas does not need the revenue like other states do. Texas is getting plenty fat off of the oil and gas industry.

I would vote for legalization in a heartbeat! I don't smoke the stuff but would not mind having the revenue come into the state rather than the State spending revenue throwing people in prison. I am hoping it works in Colorado so maybe Texas will consider it.
