The supreme gentleman is back you dirty whores!
Why would Cenk want to create a bureaucracy to subsidize people when the
current laws just doesn’t tax them in the first place? Instead of just not
taxing medicinal users, he wants to tax them then pay them a subsidy? That
takes man power and infrastructure that isn’t necessary.
California! Let’s make this shit happen! How the shit did Colorado
freedomize marijuana before Cali! *unacceptable*
The dudes I get my weed from don’t have to pay rent, tax, or employees.
Karma will punish you if you try and pinch a bag 3 times before it gets to
the smoker. I know at least 10 people who I can get it from for half the
price of the state stores. Plus I can try it, they smoke me out or we
match bowls. The price is $50 a quarter, $125-150 an oz almost anywhere
you go in the state. Legal weed in WA has priced itself out of the market.
We’re not new to this in WA and you can’t tell us where to get our weed
from!
From what I understand, the BASE price of weed is the SAME; recreational vs
medicinal.
The tax, however, is much higher on the recreational marijuana. Something
like 36% vs 6%.
I do NOT think that they should raise the tax on marijuana that is used for
medicinal purposes.
Legalize shrooms, lsd, and mdma too! Ron Paul 2012!
once there’s a coca-cola of pot, or wal-mart of pot, then it’ll be able to
fund it’s own legalizemarijuana campaign in states where it’s not legal,
until it’s legal across the nation, next step, the continent, next step
after that? The World! Pot will rule the world!
I’d say they should be the same price, but your insurance should do what it
does with other medication. Pay most of it, but just to be safe (since it
is a recreational drug, people can and will try to get more of it than they
need for longer than their condition lasts) make them pay a small co-pay
based on their income bracket. Say, 1% below the poverty line, 10% for the
middle class and the rich can pay for it their own damn selves.
Our legislature will do fucking nothing on this.
NOTHING.
They have failed to comply with our Supreme Court’s order to adequately
fund our education in the state. What makes you think they would act on
this?
Liberals.
I’ve got no idea what I was thinking, but for a short moment I thought that
guest looked like Common from the angel his head was at in the wide shot.
lol at all the liberal potheads in the comments. Keep doing your drugs you
lazy hippy faggots.
The pot from dispensaries are too expensive. They charge around $320 or
more an ounce for the bomb shit. You can get the same quality for around
$200-260 on the streets. Just saying.
TYT wants all our fans to smoke a lot of this Friday night… Especially
the younger kids all to smoke weed tonight. It opens your mind and makes
your more progressive.
Hey Turks you should actually check your sources and do a little research
they are taxing marijuana and recreational shops in Washington State almost
3 times what the price of a gram is. It’s as high as 60 70 dollars for a
gram of marijuana
I’m against nullification of federal law
Yeah, but you can’t put it in a drink though.
I wish ana and cenks daughters become pornstars and prostitutes…
Because it’s okay for other people’s daughters to be such but when it comes
to theirs they will get angry
This is why we need to repeal the second amendment
In states that have legalized marijuana is there any regulations that allow
you to grow any at home? An example could be up to may five plants.
As a medical patient living in washington I can tell you the cost
differences between medical and recreational is five fold. A normal size
recreational joint (about 2.5 grams) will cost you $50.00 or more depending
on where you buy it whereas you can buy a quarter ounce of medical with a
script for the same amount. I’m not aware of any insurance perscription
plan that covers it and even if it did, isn’t that really just giving more
american tax money to big pharma? Medical patients shouldn’t be taxed
because others want to use thier medicine recreationally.
I keep telling people, I’m not stoned, I’m medicated!
I hacked this comment so you can only like it if you have a big dick.
I wonder what retard The Young Fucks hired to come up with the gay fucking
faggot puns that are on the shitty 480p screens behind them. My 2 year old
autistic cousin can come up with better fucking puns than that. But what do
you expect from a youtube channel that has an agenda that promotes gay
hipppy faggots.
I think it makes sense to tax medicines less than recreational drugs, so a
lower tax rate should be available for people who have a prescription or
can provide evidence of chronic pain. Although it might make more sense to
apply this at the point of sale, so people who have a medical need for
marijuana can purchase it from mainstream weed stores at the lower prices,
as these likely have a wider selection and other benefits.
Marijuana should only be able to be smoked by women. It makes men even more
violent than they are allready… especially these privileged white cis guy
that will rape anything.
Who cares? Pot will affect a students learning which will lead to bad
grades and a shitty job in the future. Smoke all you want, just don’t be
complaining when you making 10$ a hour at age 40. Liberals digging their
own graves and expect Big Daddy Government to bail them out. SMH. Fucking
Joke.
Take all the facts from booze and pot, and let’s reverse the tables. Let’s
imagine that pot remained legal, and booze was still illegal today.
Okay, now try to argue that booze should be legal, knowing what you know
today on its effects on society. Try to make a compelling argument. I dare
you.
hehehe … the look @ the end. Hey, need a geneticist to create a strain?
Get does lobbyist
As a medical card holder in the state of CO, I can say first hand that, no,
your insurance will NOT pay for your medicine. The dispensary price is
about 3 times lower than the adult use prices, the ‘street’ price is lower
than the adult use prices. I would suggest that the adult use prices
should be lowered. The excuse that has been given for the price difference
is to ensure medical patients can access their meds. All it really does is
keep the black market open for business. It should be the same price by
weight, and taxed differently by use. Just my opinion
It’s actually wrong, that “of course we should tax it”? Why? Because we
tax alcohol and tobacco? Why do we have this tax? I mean, they would
still have to pay income tax and capital gains taxes–the business alone
generates tax money just as all commerce does. Why should this type of
commerce generate extra taxes than any other? So I don’t think there
should be a sin tax–on anything (including alcohol and tobacco). If the
tax were tied to the public cost of the drug, like health care for smokers,
etc., then I would support it, but that’s not what the taxes are used for.
The ironic thing is that, because it’s essentially a flat tax, it is
overwhelmingly a tax on the poor and many of the programs these things tend
to fund are support for the poor (so they tax the poor then give the tax
back to a smaller portion of the poor).
FUCK THE YOUNG TURKS!!!
People are wasting their lives obsessing over this, and they say it’s not
addictive? LOL. I’m drug free. No legal drugs. No illegal drugs. Seriously,
it’s such a great life not worrying about petty shit like this.
The U.S. is infested with Drugged Out Weed ‘HEADS’ !!
i fucking love it when Ana makes herself laugh, its so fucking adorable.
I don’t think pot by itsself is bad, but *EVERY* expert will agree that pot
always leads to harder drug use like cocaine, heroine, and math. I guess
liberals support a country that is filled with drug users. They probably
want it so more people will rely on government so the government can have a
takeover and the democrats can have their *LIBERAL UTOPIA* smh
*unsubscrubbed*
Haha I live out here in Washington, Cenk is right about people going back
to the streets for marijuana, weed is super abundant, it’s prolly like 50%
more in recreational dispensaries than on the street) there are legit
$15-20 eighths right now, usually you can get good stuff for $25 an 1/8 on
the street vs at least $35 medical and a lot more if you go recreational.
With a plant that is so easy to grow, and allowing people to grow a limited
amount of plants (which have varying yields) they do need to keep
recreational prices down, or people are just gonna buy weed from their
neighbor who has like 6 plants in his garden lol. But with everybody
growing it really turns your neighborhood dealer into a nicer dude who you
don’t have to worry about messing with you, so really the law is helping
deal with organized crime, and everybody’s just super happy down here in
the Seattle area.
BEWARE: Here there be trolls.
The Movement turns back in on its self. Raising the price on the sick. WTF
Medical cannabis SHOULD be cheaper.
For people who seriously need it, like cancer patients, they have enough
financial problems without their medicine being subject to outrageous
taxes. Or if they are going to do that, then medical cannabis needs the
same kind of healthcare coverage that a lot of other medicines have.
If you want both the recreational and medicinal markets, then they need to
be separated. Medical cannabis should be nearly free for the people who
need it, and can prove they need it.
Then you have the recreational shit that is subject to taxes.
Don’t punish real patients just because you’re fucking greedy.
MAZ FUCKING JABRONI!!!??? WHEN DID THIS SHIT HAPPEN!!!!????
This is what I like to see, Ana. I love when a woman shows off the length
and volume of her hair; please don’t pin it up ever again, unless you’re
going for the ballerina look. I’m also loving your choice of vibrant hues
for your eye-shadow and lipstick; the pink gives your eyes flare and makes
me want to move in for a smooch. Oh, and that top tops things off greatly;
it reveals just enough skin to be sexy but not so much that you come across
as sleazy. You did well, today, Ana. Keep it up, ’cause I’ll be watchin
Football people.
Taxes shouldn’t be so expensive that it is cheaper to by from the black
market. Everyone should legally be able to grow for their own use.
Im a smoker, but maybe medical marijuana patients should only get a medical
care discounts for hemp, CBD oils, edibles etc.
It seems counter intuitive for a person with serious health issues to be
smoking anything.
But on the other hand, anxiety and depression are probably the most common
medical reasons for weed, and smoking is the quickest fix.
I like Cenk’s idea. Make insurers cover medical marijuana for people who
have proven needs for them, otherwise tax and regulate the medical and
recreational types equally.
Ana has a punch able face…she ticks me off… Replace her Rubin
