Marijuana Repeal Considered In Colorado « CBS Denver.
Lawmakers from both parties have expressed worry this year that Colorado won’t be able to afford to give recreational pot the kind of intense oversight and regulation many expect. From labeling and potency standards to making sure pot taxes are collected, the regulatory scheme under consideration in Colorado wouldn’t be cheap.
The tax doesn’t effect me, but if you make it too high it will drive marijuana production underground again. One must wonder why the low consumption consumer doesn’t grow their own. Obviously I’m not up to speed on this subject, and I’m “OK” with that.
Added: Since Boulderites rarely meet a tax they haven’t liked, my suggestion to the state legislature is they raise the tax high enough to make Boulderites “scream in protest” and back off 5%.
