END WAR ON WEED

The war on weed ( cannabis ) has been burning taxpayer's money for more than 40 years.  It's pushed growers farther into the wilderness or indoors.  Gangsters have become rich, tax-free.

The economy is based on supply and demand.  People should try using their brain to diminish the demand, not just firepower against the supply.  It only raises the price.  Is that what you want?

Politicians constantly want to raise taxes on my home, car, truck and everything I purchase to maintain them.  This cannabis tax will cost me absolutely nothing.  I'm always being asked to vote yes on tax measures.  Here is my first yes vote.
