the Harper Silly Ninnies were against legalizing pot because - well because they are against everything - but specifically because there would be carnage on the roads and a massive work load put on the police to take blood tests and so forth for all he high people who were driving slowly and taking fewer risks. Or something.

in fact there has been no change whatsoever in traffic safety. Because all the people who drive high were driving high before.

They estimated 800 blood tests, but have taken only 80 so far. So it was much ado about nothing.


Like Gay marriage.

80% still in the hands of the black market is a huge success.

Probably the plan all along.

Why pay government prices when the guy down the street is selling the same weed at half the price?...with bulk discounts as well.

LoL, Now That's liebarrel corruption.

Black people are one of my best, but I was completely white among humanity. But, of course, I appreciate blacks as it is good to like other than us witnesses.

If the United States is the great enemy of the outside world, but only the EU has been the same, the Union was more common for Europeans with much peace.

The United States is the great villain of many nations than those of the EU in the great powers of Germany and France. Would Great Britain make a new referendum on Brexit.

Im thinking of setting up a kind of turkey shoot for this. Pick the date when the cost of administration overruns the tax revenue generated by pot sales. Closest to the actual date wins a free bong.

Put me down for "never"

Put me down for "never"

Right now. They aren't making money from weed.

If you think sales of a measly 7.1t a month is a win....

 

[harrylee]

They may make money at it, but nearly what they would make if it was done properly. They are never going to eliminate the blackmarket. Just like the natives and the cigarettes......Hell, the natives will likely take over a good chunk of that market, if they haven't already.
Irregardless, not the vice for me.

 

[Hoid]

not a vice at all

 

[petros]

You have screws loose if you believe 7t a month is all Canadians are smoking.

The rest is "lost money".

 

[Hoid]

You have screws loose if you think the government is not going to make money selling weed - regardless of how stupid they are

 

[petros]

A buck o gram excise tax on 7t is only $7,000,000 a month.

GST/PST is hit and miss based on consumer income.

Is weed the choice of Execs or low income?

Here is what I was replying to

I said never because they will make money regardless of how much they charge.

That's all I said. Your opinions and input on price etc have nothing to do with what I said
