Looks like NJ’s Politburo has already screwed up the tax part - now someone buying a $25 ounce of cheap schwag will pay the same tax as someone buying a $500 ounce. a regressive cannabis tax! very innovative

Idk, would they really offer a fair price just because there’s no tax?

Maybe.
Seems to me that it’s worth trying, as other states are expressing feigned
surprise that the underground market is thriving in virtually all legal states.

there’s no evidence but I believe the political class is protecting the larger drug rackets because they get paid by the larger drug rackets - i.e. a skim or cut of the action.
For example Mayor Marty Walsh in Boston has been part of the Irish clans (mafia) his whole life and weed is basically still illegal in Boston - 2 1/2 years after legalization, no retail stores. 62% of the city voted in favor. How can you ignore the fact that the Irish mafia has run drugs, gambling and sex in Boston for decades? need I mention Whitey Bulger, who’s brother ran the State Legislature.
The changes the state Legislature made to the law, and the security/regulatory requirements imposed by their appointees, could not have been written better to preserve and prolong the black market. Coincidence? There are no coincidences in politics.

“Law enforcement must be given the tools to aid in the battle against the black market”
At the same time, for non-exempt transactions, “a general consensus agrees that the net-effective taxation level should be between 15% and 25%.”
But, “we encourage the State to remove the 7% excise tax currently being paid by ROs (and ultimately being paid by patients) on the retail price of the medicinal products sold and to exempt medical transactions from any other form of taxation.”
Because, “If patients are able to purchase similar products for the same price (as) in an adult-use dispensary it will lead to medical dispensaries being unable to provide the level of care that patients need.”

How does that work?
A public servant discharging public duties having a meeting with the public from within a public office?
Wouldn’t that be considered a public recording from a public place? Was the recording device concealed?

this is cool - these people are smart, they’re looking around at Mass. and California and sensing they’re about to be cut out of legalization completely…
