END WAR ON WEED

The war on weed (cannabis) has been burning taxpayer's money for more
than 40 years. It's pushed growers farther into the wilderness or
indoors. Gangsters have become rich, tax-free.

The economy is based on supply and demand. People should try using
their brain to diminish the demand, not just firepower against the
supply. It only raises the price. Is that what you want?

Politicians constantly want to raise taxes on my home, car, truck and
everything I purchase to maintain them. This cannabis tax will cost me
absolutely nothing. I'm always being asked to vote yes on tax
measures. Here is my first yes vote.
