General Taxation

Government should act always in the best interest of the whole. Taxation, the most widespread form of government action, must be conducted in a way that benefits the whole. The wealthy are text more because they benefit more from the system. Items are taxed as a way to balance the burden. When a country is on the forefront of product, it up to develop the distribution of that product to maximize capital for the nation. 

In the United States, there are two products that could generate enough capital to eliminate the national debt. with proper investment United States government could generate trillions of dollars in revenue over the next 10 years with solar energy and legal marijuana. Concerning the latter, the federal government, at the very least, ought to permit the states to experiment with different systems of regulation and distribution.

Lack of Reason

There is absolutely no reason for the criminalization of the cannabis plant. There is absolutely no reason for the criminalization of the marijuana flowers that bloom on the cannabis plant. There is absolutely no reason for the criminalization of consensual adult consumption of the marijuana plant. 

There should be governmental regulation of the production of what used for consumption, and there should be taxation of the sale of such products, but there should not be criminalization an individual consumption. 

Marijuana V. Wild Mushrooms

Any person capable of digesting solid foods can eat any amount of raw marijuana and be perfectly fine. 

Same type of person can take a walk through the woods, pick and eat a variety of wild mushrooms and die. 

Marijuana V. Poison Ivy

Poison Ivy is harmful to the majority of the Earth's human inhabitants. Most people have an allergy to the oil produced by Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac. 

There are no known allergies to oils derived from marijuana flowers. 

It's been a wild 4 months

I can't believe it has taken me four months to get back to the website. My life has been organized chaos since becoming a dad. Parenthood is amazing but crazy time consuming. 

Back At It

Yo, it's been way too long since my last post. Things have been crazy having this new baby on top of the usual chaos of life, but hey that's life and what it is. 

I still haven't hit the green since my little has gotten here, and honestly, I feel no different from when I was burnin everyday. If they would allow more legitimate scientific research on marijuana, I predict we learn the cannabinoids interact in each person differently, thus creating a more individualized experience and understanding of the herb. 

I guess really the point of all of this is that we collectively know little about marijuana and it's function in human existence. As a consequence, we ought to be investing resources aimed at understanding the plant, and using it in our overall well-being. Hell, the tax alone from recreational use is a strong enough reason to decriminalize marijuana. We should all be calling our elected officials, state and federal, urging their support of marijuana taxation and research. 

Make it legal for fun times, tax it, invest $ into research, maximize potential, create more private and governemt profit. 

More money and happiness all around. 

Pot Profits in Colorado - A Model to Multiply

Wow!!!!! 

Official estimates indicate that retail marijuana sales in Colorado will hit one billion dollars by the end of 2016. 

WOW!!

Is that right???

ONE billion dollars?!?!?!?

From ONE state?!?!?

In ONE year?!?!?

Yep, a whole lotta cash! 

Just imagine what a state could do with that kind money! 

Luckily, we don't need to push imagination too far:

Colorado counties are using millions to invest in helping the homeless, building infrastructure, public health efforts, education, law enforcement, drug rehabilitation, and job training programs. 

Northglenn, CO is even using marijuana profits to purchase water rights to improve access for residents. 

1 out of every 8 adults in Colorado identify as being marijuana users. Colorado has roughly 5.5 million residents. So that makes roughly 690,000 self-reporting marijuana users in the state. 

I get it that tourists probably generate a lot of revenue, but still, even if 10 million people generated one billion dollars in one year, that's great market contribution!!

I can't wait to see what California could do. And Pennsylvania has huge profit potentials!!

wOW^!!!!!!!!!!!
