TROLL ALERT.
Btw, there were a bunch of posts that just disappeared from this thread.
Why? I thought Bogley didn't moderate because we're not intolerant, etc, etc.
What gives?:ne_nau:

Yeah...is there some kind of glitch? My post here from last night is gone. No swear words, no naked women.
I’m not sure what happened. Looks like a glitch. I was deleting my own post with a link to the lawsuit article because Ice already shared it. Looks like a few others got deleted by accident. Sorry about that. I was using my phone and must have hit the wrong post.
We can’t blame this one on Mary Jane legislation.
We deleted some points that I had no rebuttal for, sorry about that.
Marlboro maker places $1.8 billion bet on marijuana
Consumers are expected to spend $57 billion per year worldwide on legal cannabis by 2027, according to Arcview Market Research, a cannabis-focused investment firm. In North America, that spending is expected to grow from $9.2 billion in 2017 to $47.3 billion in 2027.

Here is the problem with not legalizing drugs....
Cruelty of El Chapo's Sinaloa cartel knows no bounds: Beheadings by chainsaw, body parts strewn in the streets

There are so many pitfalls to buying "legal" marijuana right now there is no way in hell I'd do it. If I were a doper I'd still be buying on the down low.
FWIW: in the near future I expect the government to denie the purchase of a firearm to anyone who has purchased marijuana.

Interesting read on marijuana sales in NV and Wendover. One stat that jumped out at me was the state made one billion dollars in taxes last year. That's a pretty healthy number.

For some "unpopular" news regarding the lofty expectations of massive tax revenue, here are some articles:

It seems Marijuana sales aren't holding up to the promises to resolve huge state spending deficits.
It's also an extremely poor assumption to compare tax revenues from neighboring states with Marijuana sales. If Utah legalizes, some expect to mirror Colorado or Nevada tax revenue. Not even close. Why would people travel to Utah just to buy Marijuana when the other states have it? Colorado and Nevada have higher revenue because people are coming in from out of state to buy it. There would be an initial spike, sure, everybody coming to check it out. Then it would fizzle out.
You probably wouldn't get a ton of income from people coming just for teh pot, but I bet a lot of out of state skiers choose Colorado over Utah for that. You can recapture that market.
And if the liquor taxes are any indication, there is a healthy market for it.
Wow, bring on the pot I guess...
Charges: Utah man rams school bus to get away from Satan
After he was arrested, Diediker allegedly told investigators he had smoked "dab" earlier that day, which is a concentrated dose of cannabis extract. Inside Diediker's wrecked truck, which had to be towed, police found dab, according to charging documents.

^^^"Dab" is to marijuana as Everclear is to alcohol. If you're smoking dab you're into the extremely potent stuff. It's by no means mainstream.
