ABC News regarding legalizing MJ for CA

Are we really this ignorant to think that legalizing recreational use of weed will help the California economy?

The ABC News used estimates of $800 per plant (2 ounces) and therefore $100 in tax revenue.
I've got a question: Why are they using illegal price rates to estimate this?

Let's get real.
If pot is legal (which I favor) then the price will drop through the floor and therefore down go the tax benefits. It is easy to grow...trust me... ;)

Now when you want to talk about a tax revenue generator then all eyes should be affixed to industrial hemp.
This is where the potential for revenue generation lies along with the revitalization of a manufacturing base, once again, in this country.

These sensationalized stories about marijuana "saving the California economy" are nonsense and tabloid fodder...unless you are talking about hemp.

growing it themselves, and specify that tax must be paid even when not sold. Perhaps a per plant tax as well.
