Washington Post: House poised to vote to decriminalize marijuana as GOP resists national shift on pot

Having said all that, there is a federal excise tax on alcohol, something like 13 or 14 bux per gallon of 50% alcohol beverage. So there probably is no way to avoid some federal tax.

Yeah, the 5% tax is kind of bogus, isn't it? Supposed to help repair the damage caused by the drug war all those years... And who gets to pay for said repair? The same ones who have been victimized all these years, cannabis consumers! :hmm::doh:

Last time I went to a dispensary in Oregon, the highest price, premium strain, 1 oz was $200. Cheapo deals about $100/oz. These post-legalization prices in Illinois and other places are a blip. Always push for home grow rights! They help lower the price of store-bought.

Fucking Moscow Mitch again! :mad: Is there nothing this asshole won't screw up? When he takes a break from ramming through judges the bar association terms "unqualified" - guys who have never tried a case and don't know their ass from a hole in the ground are getting lifetime appointments to...

Dope will get you through times of no toilet paper but toilet paper won't get you through times with no dope...

Whoa, that's considered a happy sale price and a great deal - $400 an ounce? Holy crap. You know, if those two democrats win the US Senate runoffs in Georgia, we might have federal legalization and Illinois' corrupt price structure will have to contend with legit west-coast and Colorado imports!

I disagree. The smell may be nicest at that point but the potency increases for several weeks after that. This is a pretty well known chemical phenomenon. Some years back when I was living in Oakland, CA I took the growers orientation at Harborside dispensary, which at that time at least was...

Can you believe this? For less than 1 gram of weed? https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/08/us/man-freed-life-sentence-marijuana-trnd/index.html A man who was sentenced to life in prison for selling $30 of marijuana will be freed (CNN)A military veteran serving a life sentence for selling less than...

In the game of life, nothing is for keeps. Ultimately you don't get to hold on your winnings. So it's how you play the game. Do it stylishly, beautifully, generously, compassionately, creatively.

The University of Chicago is famed for economics. I don't understand why these Illinois political johnnies don't consult some economists about this. Clearly they are so focused on what they are going to do with these windfall proceeds that they have forgotten that if they employ a scientific...

Larry Kudlow, last seen in February telling us the pandemic was over ("We have contained this, I won't say airtight but pretty close to airtight"), has never been right about anything. Today he said “Well, I think there will be a peaceful transfer of power”. Uh oh.

Yeah, we don't know if something nasty is going to linger but we definitely know we've been fucked.

Hey, recreational marijuana passed by a wide margin!

Yeah I voted for that. There was a lot about allowing psilocybin under controlled conditions as a therapy. And there are ideas about treating some addiction behavior as part of an illness instead of locking people up... Not sure it's gonna pass. The one part I felt ambivalent about: they are...

Oh man that is thoroughly benighted. WTF? Curaleaf grinds it up fine and that's what you get? A pig in a poke? People will tell you it's better than nothing at all but it stinks.

I have a cherry PD which I haven't used in years. It got a little loose and I bought some retaining rings and the little plier-like tool you need to work with them and that worked pretty well. I think it's still in pretty good working order. Maybe I'll fire it up.

It's happening the same way almost everywhere if it's any consolation. The California "legalization" measure was also a crock designed to grab and keep grow and sell rights for monied interests. Most of them have strange, irrational plant limits, possession limits, transportation limits, and...

The galling thing is here the state has been busting us all these years for a little weed and now they swoop in determined to milk weed sales for revenue. The turnaround is head spinning. I suppose the same thing happened with alcohol, albeit for a much shorter period of prohibition.
