Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em

Washington state is the newest member of the gonja bus.

The state became only the 2nd in the nation to sell recreational marijuana, Colorado being the 1st. I say smoke 'em if you got 'em!!!

Here's the thing.....the need for a state's tax revenue generated by the sale of weed will, eventually, far outweigh each state's moral "obligation" to protect its citizens from the ravenous effects of the drug.

It's reported that Colorado already has collected more than $24 million in marijuana taxes and fees as residents and tourists buy pot at state-licensed stores. Washington state expects to collect $190 million over the next four years, according to government projections.

Cha-ching!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

At a time when most time when most states in this great Nation are struggling, and making drastic cuts in their budgets, why not add a guaranteed revenue source? Like.....ummmm.......pot?

It's a can't-miss, steady stream of revenue for the state(s) that elect to allow its good business people to sell it. Guaranteed because people are already getting high anyway. Why not tax that stuff and let it be legal. "They're going to do it anyway."
Supplies in the initial days of the multiple stores opening will be tight. Prices in Washington are expected to be around $300 per ounce of high grade smoke.

Which lead me to think; where to potheads get an extra $300? Aren't they unemployed, Rastafarians who sit around in their Mom's basement and eat pizza all day? Oh wait; lawyers, doctors, dentists, construction workers etc all smoke weed. Ask you doctor when you're in for your next physical how often he or she blazes up. You might be surprised by the answer.
I could give you the names of 4 physicians that I know of that smoke 3 times per week; at least. 

Check out this photo below and imagine of there were stocks for pot.....

I'm just sayin'.......
