California Cannabis Businesses Fear State’s Legal Industry Could Collapse









Needs a barber
Sounds like another profitable setup. In many ways than one. Your weed is trash. Sounds like the delivery business. No win. Welcome!
That's what they get for being greedy A 33% tax is ridiculous.
Even when the good people tell you they're trying to make a business of marijuana we still deny them
Marijuana is in medicine and it's good for cancer if you can't eat and you're real skinny try marijuana
do they tax achaul at 50 percent
Hilarious I love it. Democrats don't lower taxes donkey. Taxed out of business
It's genius.
all of a sudden this liberal wants low taxes to help his industry. but I guarantee he cried at Trump tax cuts and deregulation on business
Gotta do what you gotta do! It's not fair that the government just collect and the business owners do all the work.
A plant cannot be illegal. Cannabis is a plant sacred to Humanity. Governments that criminalize it are ILLEGAL and ILLEGiTIMITE. Period.
Monterey and humboldt county everyone grows and sells illegally. Good luck legal taxpayers
This is what happens when the government gets too powerful
Stupid greed and an oversaturated market have fkd up a wet dream
That's why the Arizona industry is where it's at
🌏
Looks like Democrats didn't keep their promise on this issue!
Of course, it grows like weeds, and our government is so efficient, told a weed seller not to worry years ago as if govt is involved his sales would not suffer at all
If they didn't care about the money everyone in all 50 States could grow their own medicine without being limited to a number of plants. Once everyone has a couple beside their tomato plants it loses all value.
Big Pharma is coming…..
lets face it our governments are all greedy and corrupted. They raise taxes all the time to line their pockets and fund wars.
Cannabis is #Fraud #Discrimination and #Entitlement in NEVADA COUNTY with Humboldt folks illegally avoiding permits, taxes, accountability for serious #Crime because local yokel Judges and crooked disbarred attorneys change court record, without authority allow breach, the #Cartel sends flunky from Pennsylvania, Brooklyn, Florida, etc. to trespass, steal water, commit battery and theft to the disabled, elderly and anyone whose #religion isn't "FROM HERE" as they say. Do something #GavinNewsom besides appoint their family.
Ca is just stupid emdrace it high gas price of 7$ wow high taxes high homeless that state is a mess
🌏🙌☮️❤️
how can she be talking about illegal activity …its a joke she sould be fire for excepting any illegal dealings!
California screws everything up – over regulate and tax things to death
They need to recriminalize it. It’s a drug
people are getting smarter
i rather buy my marijuana from the weed dealer instead of from the marijuana store
How can you only make $60k profit on $11.5M of sales?
It makes 0 sense? Is taxes like $4M flat charge
You have industrial grows that reduce the price per gram even with legal wages
What a waste of our government's resources and taxpayer money!!
What shocks me as a European is that most Americans were more willing to support the legalisation of pot, as opposed to essentials like universal healthcare. Priorities people 😅…
That’s what happens when you destroy the industry with greedy regulations and taxes .
Well what do you expect? This is what happens when the American people no longer have a backbone lol
Keep voting blue
