Question by Seabiscuit: How does California collect tax revenue of legal marijuana if everyone can now grow it themselves?
I was reading the ballot earlier and it looks like the main reason for legalizing weed was so California, who is a debt can collect tax revenue, but I was wondering if all the smokers now have weed growing in their back yards for free, what tax revenue is there going to be? Not to mention if they outright legalize weed then Prop 215 was an absolute lie. Can’t wait for the little kids hanging out in front of 7-11 asking me to buy them a pack of joints. Sounds great.

Well you can make your own alcohol too… but how many people actually take the time to do that??

Besides, many people don’t know how to do it themselves or are too lazy. Plus, to get a good amount of weed that you can pick and smoke takes kind of a lot of time. You have to wait months ones you pick it for it to bud again. Just like any plant really… I mean sure you can grow your own orange and lemon tree, but who really does that?? No one

The Federal Govt will step in before any such thing happens. The State is whacked out of their heads.
