Its standard common sense..... People NEED insulin to live. NOBODY needs MJ to live. period. Not a stupid azz Rabbit hole im going down.

Why do a majority of people that "need" insulin, need insulin? How did they get diabetes? Granted you have a exponentially smaller demographic of type 1..... but again.....how did those people get type II? Did they NEED that food they were stuffing their face with? That's some fun logic you have there that we can explore.

And thats the rabbit hole. lol. And it can go back to self caused medication. End result is still people dying without it.

He's being facetious...
No, I'm really not.

When YOU decide something should be taxed at a higher rate than other things, that's called a "sin tax".

So YOU sanctimoniously deciding that weed should be taxed higher, along with alcohol and whatever else you deem a "sin" and burden on society is exactly equal to some left-wing limp-wristed pinko wanting to tax ammunition higher.

Let's be clear: TAXES are theft, and the enemy is the politician that wants to take your money.

You delegating power to some worthless SOB to collect those taxes is NO different than someone delegating power to say, the ATF?

Who the hell are you to say what should be costlier?

Yup.


I dunno what it is about weed that triggers people so badly when someone will kill someone on alcohol in next few minutes...... someone will overdose on opiates soon shortly after that. Hate to think outside the box, but dare I speak of sugar and tobacco? 130K deaths a year from Lung Cancer. No, we must appeal to emotion in an asinine way....we must worry about a fictitious story about someone's daughter behind a dumpster because of da reefer. If it can only save one!!!
It’s because you are trying legalize something that is inherently wrong and acting like it’s a good thing

I didn't say it was a good thing per se. I'm saying if you're looking to "right" the "wrong" things in the world..... you're misguided and to your own words..... ignorant of the facts. You boys seem to cherry pick your conviction, because y'all sure don't come a running if there's an alcohol thread.

Ok, if you say so. lol
Tax weed just like alcohol. I'm all about it and use the tax appropriately. The issue isn't about taxes, it's about how the taxes are used.
Are you gonna go out and repair roads on your dime? How about new sewer systems? How about paying for new books or teachers or schools? What about water distribution? How about the sh*tty little bridge that just fell in the 20' creek that last time it flooded? Taxes pay for that sh*t because citizens won't pull it out of their own pockets and that is fact.


No tax on medications and drugs with actual health benefits. Don't let your sanctimony outthink some sense.
