Marijuana Legalization May Be Unstoppable

[Badger]

Hey, I don't want my medicine taxed.  They don't tax other medicines do they? Pot should be kept medicinal.

Dude, it's already taxed! I am surprised you haven't noticed. I guess the pungent smell and plethora of weed distracted you?

I guess so. I never noticed a sales tax or anything being charged at the dispensary. Is it just built into the price?

It's always built into the price -- have you ever tried doing math when stoned? Most places don't break it down for you. On my last trip to a dispensary in Santa Monica, though, I got a cash register receipt. My "subtotal" was $43.95; my tax was $6.05 (~13.8%).

If you don't mind me asking, Former M, what is you prescription/medical diagnosis for mj use?

Do I understand you have one too, Torie? If so, could you likewise share?

Oh, you most certainly do not have a prescription. You have a recommendation. Eric Holder will put your doctor in jail if he gave you a prescription.

Ah, I didn't understand that.

Please modify my inquiry into the medical basis of your respective doctor's "recommendations", accordingly.
