Ridiculously too low!!! The tax rate should be at least 100x that. I mean, since the whole reason for decriminalizing it was for all this wonderful tax revenue!
For anyone that's been to the Houghton site, how's the prices?
The Illinois tax is pretty ridiculous. 17% on flower, 25% on edibles! I've been to Verilife down in Ottawa a couple times. The line back in March was pretty long. Stopped a couple weeks ago, and right in.
Great as long as you are all for 100% on cigs and booze .
Also pot has been decriminalized for a long long time for anything under a oz was a tix you could pay just like a speed or running a stop. Most cops did not even wast the time .
It is completely insane it is taking the govenment this long to undo stupid laws that should have never been implemented in the first place .
Everything, but I don't need to respond. Those other taxes weren't sold as a bill of goods to be a panacea for all the revenue ills in the government. They developed the lottery to pay for schools, but schools are still broke. They allowed gambling to pay for schools, but schools are still broke. Now, the next panacea was pot to make up all the missing revenue. I don't believe that line either based on past experience. So, if another sin/vice tax is going to be the panacea, tax the **** out of it. If you don't like the taxes, don't buy it. Why stop at pot, make prostitution legal and tax the **** out of it. That seems to be the mindset now a days. (If we can get money for it, make it legal)
Just wait all of ours taxes are going to go thru the roof with all this spending and the new knuckleheads in the White House. They will tax,tax tax, and more tax. They always want more and more. Heck Pelosi net worth is already around 150 million and wow all on 200k a year salary.
Chicago loves the tax money so much they are talking about taking out a loan against FUTURE pot sales. These people are flat out nuts. Spending money they don’t even have. One of the highest taxed states, and their broke, embarrassing, but not to them!
I checked a reciept from May. For a $50 buy (1/8) - excise tax was $5 and sales $3. They sure do make easy. Quite a few along I-75. I already knew what I wanted. Pulled up, cute girl comes out to my car and placed my order, she comes back, we do the handoff and away I go. To bad there are no drive up beer stores.
Question for those where it is legal, if you were to get stopped by police is there a certain amount you can have or do you have to have proof that it was bought legally? Just curious!
Like booze it comes in sealed containers. They got smart on the hash end at first you could go in and by 28grams of hash at a stop .
Why Greenland? Market wise not a lot of customers in that area 365 days a year. The market is in the higher population areas and cross border entry towns to WI border. Greenland seems Like a dumb location. Imo
