Colorado! The first to tax the sick! (Directly)
Voters in the western Colorado town of Fruita on Tuesday approved a 5 percent sales tax on medical marijuana and related paraphernalia, making it the first city in Colorado to tax pot…
…“Colorado law is clear: Medical marijuana, in most instances, should be subject to state and local sales taxes,” Suthers said. “This formal opinion should help clear up many of the uncertainties surrounding the taxation of medical marijuana.”
The first comment would be most logical after you told someone after you taxed their prescription.
“I disagree with Mr. Suthers because according to Colorado Statute any perscribed medications are exempt from taxation. Since you have to have a prescription to obtain the Medical Marijuana, it then becomes a prescription medication. To me taxing the Medical Marijuana actually violates the state tax code and that of nearly every other muncipality. If Mr. Suthers would like to remove the exemption from prescription medications and subject all prescription medications to tax, then I suppose he can with legislative approval. If you want to make it legal and put an age restriction on it, then by all means tax it like it was tobacco. Until then it is a prescription medication and should be treated as such. By the way, I have no intention of ever obtaining medical marijuana and I have never smoked or ingested the stuff. I just think our government should follow their own rules.

I like when high profile companies still have silly error pages. SIDENOTE: Do I need to figure out this FOUND situation to keep your short attention spans? ? Fuggin Millenials. “Kurt Andersen, the prize winning contributor to Vanity Fair writes in his book Reset: How This Crisis Can Restore Our Values and Renew America writes that many among the Millennial Generation view the 2008 election of Barack Obama as uniquely theirs, and he writes about this generational consensus building as being more healthy and useful than the counterculture protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s, going as far to say that if Millennials can “keep their sense of entitlement in check, they might just turn out to be the next Greatest Generation”. However due to the Global financial crisis of 2008-2009 this generation is also beginning to be compared to the Lost Generation of the early 20th century.”
AKA you’re fucked. BUT STAY POSITIVE AND IN CHECK. = ]
