Private parties will always have the best prices and will be able to undercut sellers who have to pay huge taxes on their products. If you want proof of this just look at cigarettes.David Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103791262386951361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659122557413075893.post-41336334526791898582010-08-07T14:01:55.720-07:002010-08-07T14:01:55.720-07:00Seems to me that legalization would be an instant ...Seems to me that legalization would be an instant revenue generator.

We tend to roll that way in the Silver State. The sooner the better, in my opinion. Like it or not, taxes have to go up to meet the state's obligations. What a great way to increase revenue!Judy Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190383286238281678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659122557413075893.post-42490715820429102262010-08-02T13:46:22.627-07:002010-08-02T13:46:22.627-07:00Well here's one where I don't disagree wit...Well here's one where I don't disagree with you...<br /><br />I'm guessing if California gets past their attempts to get pot more or less legalized that Nevada won't be too far behind in trying to get their share of the money. <br />I think the first step Nevada needs to take is to go the decriminalization route first - changing possession from a felony to a misdemeanor before you can get to the taxation part. It's pretty ridiculous that Nevada considers Mary Jane a federal crime... but funny how a lack of tax dollars can change a politicians mind… California politicians will do most anything for a tax dollar.David Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103791262386951361noreply@blogger.com
