Prop. 64's legal cannabis market was supposed to wipe out the drug's outlaw business, its violence and environmental disaster. It's done the opposite.

Taxing medical use is unethical, immoral, uncivilized, obscene, despicable.

At any price.

Oxycontin is not taxed.
There is no such thing as an aspirin tax.

"San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies stopped Empyreal vans three times in November, December, and January. They seized cash during two of the stops, making off with a total of more than $1 million, which was transferred to the FBI so the Justice Department could pursue forfeiture under federal law. If the government prevails in those forfeiture proceedings, the sheriff's department will get to keep up to 80 percent of the money under the Justice Department's "equitable sharing" program. The earnings of state-licensed ma*****na suppliers are not subject to forfeiture under California law."

Prop. 64 was thinly veiled prohibition.
Tax & Regulate is how they made it illegal in the first place.

Los Angeles will be the biggest beneficiary of the money, which was proposed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to help cannabis businesses acquire permanent licenses.

Another stunning success for Tax & Regulate.

Flaws in California's ma*****na regulatory system have allowed criminals to gain control of legal distribution permits and divert cannabis to the illicit market, a lawsuit claims.
