I know people in Virginia, they just drive to DC for their weed. This guy is a dunce
DC or Maryland.
Maryland you can actually legally go into a shop and buy it, DC you’re still playing the donation game.
Yeah, I know people in Delaware that drive over the MD border for their chronic too
Yep. I'm in Indiana by the Illinois border. I just drive half an hour to the closest Illinois dispensary. Yes, I'm paying high taxes. I'm okay with that. Alcohol has an excise tax on it too.
I pay more than I used to here in NJ now that I buy it legal, but I figure the more tax revenue it brings to my state, the faster we get national legalization. Money talks
100% agreed. The more politicians can figure out that weed is a major cash cow like cigarettes and alcohol, the more will be in favor of legalization.
And (although I hate it) now that major corporations are getting involved, they'll have the clout to start really lobbying hard.
You won't be paying that much for long. Here in MA when stores opened a gram of wax was upwards of 80 dollars and now its down to 20 with discounts. Stores will just give you an 8th of weed as a bonus. My dispensary sells a 1/2g pre-roll for 3 bucks with tax when you spend over 50 bucks. If you have a medical card its even cheaper. I don't because guns.
They aren't making you pay the tax on it. They're covering the tax for you because they can afford to with their profit margins.
That's what you call a distinction without a difference.
It's a difference because the customer saves money and the dispensary loses money, just not enough to seriously eat into their profits.
In VA you can order it online and have it delivered to your door the same day. Or so I've heard...
