    cigarettes are legal ... now the state sees them as a revenue enhancer (like many states see legal pot as revenue enhancers ) Here in NY they tax the hell out of them because it is a revenue enhancer for a state that is out of ideas for keeping it's companies here .... but they also tax em because they think that the cost will discourage cigarette use . So what do we get ?

    I predict there will be a thriving black market for pot too when it is legal nationwide .

    Hello again:

    Couple things...

    Certainly, Alabama is NOT one of the states cashing in on pot. The states that are, are bastions of liberalism.. What makes you think Trump/Sessions CARES about them??? Sessions is an ideologue, and ideologues don't CARE about facts.. Do I think he has sway over Trump?? I DO!!

    excon

    PS> The problem we're having is that right wingers are trying to NORMALIZE Trump. He AIN'T normal, and NOTHING about this administration IS.

    Look.. This CRAZY man is threatening to DE-FUND California if they don't BOW to his wishes over sanctuary cities.. Now, ORDINARY people would think this is just hyperbole.. But, I think Trump will actually TRY to do it.. And yes, I think he'll TRY to crush the marijuana trade..

    Do I think he'll MURDER people on the street??? NOTHING is normal with this buffoon?? He certainly isn't putting down his Philippine buddy for doing it
