Federal Govt proposed Pot tax discussion paper

They are looking for $1 per gram plus GST.

Concerned citizens can write in until Dec 31 to comment.

IMO it's another money grab based on nothing. No plans for what the revenue will go towards other than revenue sharing with the Provinces.

The $1 applies to everything from bud, oils, concentrates, Dabs etc. May motivate people to go towards dabs etc vs bud.

Funny how so many people are ok with oganizies crime making billions with out paying taxes.

But when they buy drug lagitametly they don't think they should pay taxes either.

Government runs on purchases taxe dollar.
You paybitbon your booze. , on your $12 pack of cigarettes ,our gas and everything else.
Even out lovely escorts pay income taxes...

So why does weed have to be taxes free. Even if it is for medical reason , are other prescription drugs taxes free?
