Why do I have to have a license to get medical weed?, When you don't need a license to buy ALCOHOL….
That's what msssed up Humboldt county in the 1st place. They taxed them to the point of having to quit, then the crime set in and police abandoned them to kill each other out. Survival of the fittest. All to steal the money the growers spent and earned
Because Cali growers keep sending their SHIT TO THE EAST COAST. Flooding and killing our market. That is the REAL story, home much Cali weed makes it to the East Coast.
Of course it is. They were too greedy and as usual thought they could dip into our pockets through cannabis sales. Here, let me clue in these pathetic loser Democrats running my state. WE BUY JUST LIKE WE DID BEFORE, FROM FRIENDS AND ON THE STREET. 29% !!! LOLOLOLOLOL what greedy thieving scumbag told you people would pay that?!? SCREW YOU DEMOCRATS.. YOU DONT EVEN USE THOSE TAXES FOR ANYTHING USEFUL. BUH BYE…

30 % in taxes so where does the money go?
Projections, that is how states got in trouble with the retirement bomb. Obviously we have learned nothing. We can not even do pot well.
so funny the Republican assemblyman is the voice of reason in all of this.
I am sure a few bond measures and property tax increases will clear things up!

Dude…if you're telling me Cali didn't make ANY MONEY of that stupid tax! Then! Wth?!
Why should I have to pay California for something that I have done for 30 years?
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE NON-PROFIT
THESE LAWMAKERS SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON
Everyone hates high taxes, high gas prices, high regulations but they keep voting in democrats.
When I saw 38% tax in los angeles I knew it would change people's buying behavior. Nevermind the regulations for dispensaries being so insane.
Greedy mfrs
Holy shiz. That’s some greedy taxing.
I pay the same price for 1/8 of flower as I did in high school 25 years ago. $35 out the door.
Typical Democrats taxing an industry to the point where it either goes under or it has to become illegal to survive!!
Keep counting your chickens before they hatch
Cali kush 💯
I knew this was going to happen. More illegal cannabis has grown rapidly and don't have to pay taxes.
Shatter is not a high end extract!!
So California is taxing the Industry to death? SO DAMNED TYPICAL!!!!!
