Tax Plan

[devonin]

Your post doesn't really have anything to do with the discussion at hand, and better belongs in other threads that exist. However, in the context of taxes, your suggestion about legalizing marijuana to boost the economy is unfortunately pretty much nonsense.

The argument says that if you legalized it like alcohol or tabacco, it would be sold in government approved locations and subject to taxes, thus the boost.

However, unlike the kind of tobacco the majority are addicted to, or any remotely high quality alcohol, there is no lengthy or costly manufacturing process to turn crops into finished product. Basically grow, harvest, dry, roll, smoke.

As a result, it is so trivially easy to simply grow your own, that it it were made legal, the vast majority of users would either grow their own, or simply get it from friends who were growing their own. It would actually generate very little tax revenue.
