Oregon: 3 months of tax-free marijuana
The Recreational marijuana is legal in Oregon since July, and sales at medical dispensaries were scheduled to begin on January 4. A law passed this week authorized sales to begin on October 1, but point-of-sale taxes will not be applied until January 4. This means three months of weed tax-free.
No one knows how much this will cost the government, since there are no statistical data from previous periods to draw on.
While the Colorado Will Not Collect Marijuana Taxes on September 16 Because the profits are so high, the Oregon Department of Revenue simply does not have enough time to be ready by October 1. Since sales were scheduled to begin on January 4 anyway, this will not result in a budget shortfall, according to the spokesperson for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

There is no physical addiction to cannabis; stop being judgmental and spreading misinformation.

Oh, really? Go ask the 60% patients who are checking into a rehab center for using… cannabis!
Just take a look at the medical forums and see the distress of those who would love to quit but just can't...
You will no doubt also dispute the official statistics from the OFDT or the EMCDDA.
But it doesn't matter; addiction is just the «tip of the iceberg» anyway. The most serious issue, of course, is the psychotropic effect!
Have a little fun and ask people who smoke five joints a day: When you first started, how many did you smoke at first? And now? Why did you start smoking more?
Based on the answers to these questions, you can draw your own conclusion.

60%—what’s that? You sound like a politician spouting meaningless numbers… Those who can’t quit are simply caught up in a psychological addiction that’s stronger with substances like coffee or sugar than with cannabis, and scientific studies prove it.. Psychotropic effects? Alcohol has a much more significant psychotropic effect than cannabis; several scientific studies have also proven this by comparing the effects on drivers, and it has been shown that cannabis has very little effect, or not at all—given that in some cases, users performed on tests exactly as they would while sober—unlike alcohol, whose effects I need not emphasize.
And finally, in response to your last argument—that cannabis is a drug with exponential effects—I’ll say this: I’ve been smoking cannabis for over 10 years now, and during those 10 years, the only reason my smoking frequency has ever varied has always been the same: routine and friends—a change in lifestyle or a change in the types of friends I had, who in turn had different habits, but over those 10 years, I’ve gone from smoking one joint a day to smoking 3 or 4 joints a day, to smoking only on weekends, to quitting (for two years), and now to smoking only in the evenings… And when I compare this consumption to that of alcohol, I see no difference.Both can be bad, but it’s like any excess in life… Cannabis is a right, and you need to understand that for yourselves before you criticize it—but hey, that will come, and if not you, then the next generation…
