    1. It creates a dual pricing system which I see little justification for
    2. It deprives the state of revenues that have to be collected elsewhere
    3. If I hear 1 more moron say, I need to go medicate, I am going to lose it.

    FYI. I had a card pre legalization.

    I didn't realize they had different pricing. I also thought they were taxing it already. Learn something new every day.

    As for 3, nobody I know says that.

    Rec is taxed at about 25%. Med at about 5%

    Cool, so med just becomes like a Prime or Costco membership. Do I pay for the discount and convenience or just pay the additional 20%?

    My doctor is a roided out old dude in bike shorts and a tight tanktop. Every visit. I get there and he asks "need any changes?". I say no and leave. It's very thorough and totally necessary.

    The doctors charging a hundred bucks for an “exam” are the biggest crooks here. I like knowing the alcohol content in my ipas I think there is a benefit there.

    Yep it’s a total scam, just like “medical” MJ.

    The cure all for all that ails you, evidence based to boot!

    My son worked for curaleaf for a while as a “bud”tender. He was well payed but the scam of getting people licensed was ridiculous and crooked as heck.

    Phone prescriptions where if you are slow in using the magic words the doctor will just suggest them. It was a decent job paying well while he finished his school, but the whole thing was silly.
