It's unbelievable that they couldn't just follow the model of the alcohol industry. There's not a significant illegal booze industry despite taxes and regulations.

It's this progressive mindset that regulations and taxes are a good in itself. Actual productive, competent, citizen consider regulations and taxes to be a necessary evil. So CA is attempting to regulate the pot industry into oblivion. Which is obviously failing, because they couldn't get rid of it with criminal penalties.

There's a lot of misinformation about pot. It's not healthier than alcohol or tobacco. It contains twice the tar and carcinogens as tobacco. It causes tachycardia which is dangerous for those with heart problems. It causes blood pressure fluctuations, which can lead to strokes. I personally don't use it, because it makes you less intelligent, and is bad for your memory, etc.

It's also a license that is legal proof that you're committing a federal felony.

@PatricenotPatrick It sounds like they're just growing it illegally in CA. What's the risk? They pay a fine and get plants confiscated.

@Shishomuru With no jail time, there's not deterrent. The DA's are so weak that they can't even create a legalized industry. I personally don't care. Because marijuana just makes you stupid.

California thought it would be a good idea to fast track ex-cons into the legal marijuana industry. Hahahahahahaha And they're wondering why the illegal industry is larger than the legal? Cons will break the law, whenever there are no serious consequences.

Does anybody actually care? They're discovering that they can't tax something too much that any dimwit can grow. It's not like wine that takes talent to make well, it's just the genetics of the plant.
