With less and less cigarette smokers each year there's less and less in taxes collected. Whether you agree with taxes on MM or just marijuana in general or not, the taxation argument might just be one of our best arguments (with the politicos) for legalization...sure helped in the CA elections!

It is a plant that we can all grow without the need to purchase it from a corporate entity or the federal government. Simply abolish all laws pertaining to cannabis and let each live as they wish in this regard. We don't need another tax, geez we have enough of those! Personally, to hell with taxation of cannabis.
