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

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

Phew! Glad to hear you didn't lose that sponge!Diesel42 wrote:FWIW, I've used hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting in dogs. Recommended by my Vet, it's simple and it works. I have a 10cc hypodermic (no needle) and I squirt it down their throat while holding their head up.

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.'03Lightningrocks wrote: I was just reading that.

Well it was a DISH WASHING SPONGE.

Just a thought but maybe we could all chip in and buy a new one.
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.tomtexan wrote:Yep, it will be the "blood in the streets" type argument again.

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.
