Chocolate. It’s always chocolate.
Sometimes it’s kettle crisps
Nooooo; crisps, lots of crisps.
And sausage sandwiches.
A bag of frozen Maltesers. Try it.
Washington & Colorado work out at ~$120 / person
Oregon is only $31 / person (but they traditionally have no State Sales Tax – but high income taxes)
California is only $26 per person – but as a very conservative state[1] I don’t expect many of them to smoke.
[1] I’ve no idea why California is so low. I suspect it is because their proposed tax (45%) is so high that it will be cheaper to buy from a dealer – so no one will buy it legally.
Regulation in California is very strict. In particular it’s only “supposed to be” for medical use, whereas other states are fine with recreational use. I’d say that would skew the figures a good bit!
why is Cali ‘conservative’ by what metric ?
the sales tax is 17% in Oregon
I was being thong-in-cheek about California being conservative.
According to Dr. Google Oregon is 0% (first link) https://www.taxrates.com/state-rates/oregon/

-sales tax 15% in cali-local taxes in Oakland for example are 10%.
I would love it if Ireland would become a progressive nation and legalise pot.
We should be pushing things forward not looking over the wall to see what the neighbours are doing.
the US is a very “progressive” place, then.
Did I say that?
Can’t see it above.
Interesting…. are my comments like jazz where you have to see the words I don’t say?
You’re a plank.
fair and balanced!
Like a good doob

I wouldn’t even know where to buy it now. How would one find out how?
NARC ALERT!

I’ll sort you out, bud
Colorado has a roughly comparable population to Ireland. And is now pulling in $200mn a year in tax revenues from weed. And theres also the massive amount of money saved in terms of police time and jail funding for drug offenders on top of that.
I really hope some Irish political parties start to support a legalization effort soon, if only for the huge amount of revenue to be gained for the state from the legalization and taxation of weed.
Plus morality wise it’d be a good thing obviously. But the revenue raising argument should get more conservative politicians on board I’d imagine.

Not to mention all the lives saved from legal, crime records… for a wee doobie, or enough on ’em for a party nite out.
It’s funny how the puritanical tone that accompanies any article about the Alcholic Drinks industry is always missing from any legalise type articles.
that’s not funny
