Feds Slap 70% Tax on Legal Marijuana Businesses

Colorado and Washington should secede, and declare themselves independent countries within the U.S. Think of all the revenue they would make. People would move there from all parts of the country, and they could tell the Feds to f'k off.

but, but, but how will we be able to keep those pesky Canadians from invading? we'll need a wall on our southern border (that Oregonians will pay for) to keep those Oregon rapists (Ducks and Timbers fans) away.

on a side note: "legal" retail prices now compete with non-sanctioned retail prices

The headline is misleading. I've talked to the owners of my grow about this and they've been having to pay this from the beginning. Let's not act like the tax just got "slapped" on them, they knew going in how badly they were going to get taxed. This didn't just spring up overnight.

Having said that it's absolute bullshit my bosses, and everyone else, are forced to pay this.
