Leave it to the people! You corporations take a hike! We do not need you and we’re proving it. Don’t try and scare people by saying we put pesticides on our hurb! A lot of us are "self-conscious Growers" and people like "i" know what we’re putting into what we smoke! So back off and let us do what we do!
I thought liberals in Cali love paying more in taxes 🤔
Only people who are dumb and wealthy are in this boat
That’s what happens when you vote Democrat
Make it like corn or apples or any other fruit and let it be truly 100% legal and stop this California regulation bureaucracy immediately!! This is simply propaganda for the regulation of Cannibus !!
FREE CANNIBUS ✌🏼
This is how progressives ruin cities…
Or, they could just do the smart thing macroeconomically and become asset-light retailers who hire Clever Leaves of Columbia to manufacture all their product, and import it. Oh wait, they can’t, because MJ is illegal on the federal level and can’t be imported!
arizona old school: $50/oz
arizona now: $500/oz
mexico now: $5/oz
society: "but isn’t it okay to make people constantly eat shit out of our ass?"
There’s a much more simple solution than this. The legislature got its taxes because the voters passed the proposition. Just do a new proposition that states something like this: "All laws concerning cannabis are repealed. The legislature shall henceforth make no law with respect to cannabis."
The government only let you run your pot businesses for TAXES!
Real smokers grow their own dude….
Lol because liberals wanna get rich and steal every dime from Business owners…
Less taxes and prosecute monopolies
gay democrat SF resident says lower taxes……what less regulation and taxes are good for business……no way…..gov’t shouldn’t be involved in the first place
so nobody is gonna comment on the cop with the chainsaw? lord have mercy
Weed heads lectured us for years about the benefits of legalization. Did they believe the state wouldn’t regulate and tax the shit out of the industry? It’s the dog that caught the car he was chasing.
Isn’t California the perfect environment for Marijuana?
Why buy at the dispensary?
It’s been ridiculous forsure
$625 FOR MY CAR REGISTRATION!!! THANKS GAVIN AND ALL THOSE WHO VOTED FOR HIM AND THOSE FAKE AND DEAD PEOPLE WHO VOTED!!
Funny Colorado got it right
Stop getting high in the first place
Give them a break! Help them succeed.
What are the 5 darkest dispensaries in SF
They charge to much to high in price how noone in there right mind to pay 45 a gram ridiculous
The GREED of our politicians is at work here. The underground cannabis growers in California are dominated by the Mexican Cartels. They are here in California and they have a lot of money and guns to back themselves up. California has to declare WAR on them.
Tax and spend with no oversight
What could possibly go wrong? It’s good to know the water is being put to good use too.
This report on the legacy market producing pesticide cannabis is bullshit. Y’all taxing legal grower back to the legacy market. The legacy market will never die. Thanks to high ass taxes and unpredictable laws and not mention police are still raiding legal grows. WTF!!!
Nobody cares….Let them fail
Most states decided to bribe voters with "pot taxes can fix budgets for veterans, schools, roads, provide reparations for blacks, etc." This is what happens.
Yay free weed wins again! Red or blue these politicians aren’t here for me or you!
Free the weed.
omg that guy using a chainsaw to cut down those tiny plants, what a waste of petrol… or gas:S
Do you really expect the state to lower taxes when the state is broke and appears to be crushing most private business any way they can?
And the growers paid $250,000 for a license..
Most cannabis users don’t buy from legal stores. It’s more than half the price to buy from a backyard grower. I don’t use cannabis anymore but I never bought from the dispensary.
And pounds are going for 700 or less for high grade in NorCal
This report on the legacy market producing pesticide cannabis is bullshit. Y’all taxing legal grower back to the legacy market. The legacy market will never die. Thanks to high ass taxes and unpredictable laws and not mention police are still raiding legal grows. WTF!!!
its their own damn fault now deal peeps bahbahbah
Sexat taxes
Taxation is Slavery in another form.
Panzi liberals
It doesn’t pay to follow the law in California
California does what it always does. It overregulates EVERYTHING!! CA worries so much about its own bottom line that it loses site of a plan for initial growth which later is supposed to thrive.
You can cut the taxes but if you don’t allow all to have a shot to participate in the legal market it’ll just be a race to the bottom. Allow small mom and pop to sell to dispensaries so they don’t need to look for customers. Have reasonable testing for small growers
Ramirez pallet full of pot EBT welfare truck stealing Liars. Ephesians 5:11. Cartels taking over
I don’t believe that growers are using bad pesticides on their crops. They want to scare people. The black market will not go away. They are taxing everyone to death.
Wait…what? California government raising taxes too high for a legitimate business to operate?!
I’m shocked.
Just keeping voting those same liberal morons back into office year after year and then be surprised when your taxes are sky high.
“Tax to Death” California motto
$45 a Quarter.cant beat that black mRKET rules!
