2019-04-15 04:27:04 UTC

2019-04-15 04:27:24 UTC  

"Marijuana tax collections in Colorado and Washington have exceeded initial estimates."

2019-04-15 04:27:25 UTC

2019-04-15 04:27:27 UTC

2019-04-15 04:28:11 UTC  

afaik no weed is actually being sold here legally in my area

2019-04-15 04:28:18 UTC  

people are just selling bongs and pipes

2019-04-15 04:28:24 UTC  

then lowkey adding in the weed tax-free

2019-04-15 04:28:28 UTC  

well it doesnt matter if the state is making 10$ or a billion

2019-04-15 04:28:41 UTC  

theyre making money off something that was illegal

2019-04-15 04:28:44 UTC  

it does if the public is getting second-hand exposed

2019-04-15 04:28:45 UTC  

that they made nothing on

2019-04-15 04:28:52 UTC  

and they save money not having big busts

2019-04-15 04:28:55 UTC  

```
that they made nothing on
```

2019-04-15 04:28:57 UTC  

and criminal processing

2019-04-15 04:29:08 UTC  

yeah

2019-04-15 04:29:09 UTC  

you mean they don't make money off confiscating money?

2019-04-15 04:29:11 UTC  

WOW

2019-04-15 04:29:22 UTC  

They dont make money off weed?

2019-04-15 04:29:35 UTC  

If its illegal

2019-04-15 04:29:38 UTC  

?????????

2019-04-15 04:29:44 UTC  

apparently you're not old enough to hear of privately-funded prisons

2019-04-15 04:29:52 UTC  

Im very aware

2019-04-15 04:29:56 UTC  

theyre retarded

2019-04-15 04:30:01 UTC  

yes so making weed illegal

2019-04-15 04:30:06 UTC  

does make government money $$$

2019-04-15 04:30:36 UTC  

Not comparatively to the money spent processing. People arent jailed if at all for weed

2019-04-15 04:30:41 UTC  

unless its a crazy amount

2019-04-15 04:30:46 UTC  

Theyre usually fined at most

2019-04-15 04:30:50 UTC  

yeah people are fined for weed

2019-04-15 04:31:11 UTC  

which if you dont pay in CA, you forfeit your 4th amendment

2019-04-15 04:31:14 UTC  

Okay so you admit that the prison part was wrong

2019-04-15 04:31:16 UTC  

right?

2019-04-15 04:31:19 UTC  

not at all

2019-04-15 04:31:22 UTC  

i think that's a perfect concept

2019-04-15 04:31:44 UTC  

okay so then its not fines?

2019-04-15 04:31:47 UTC  

and its jailtime?
