RE: Discussion Topic: Legalize vs. Decriminalization
This is an important topic, as I'm sure more and more states will be asking themselves the same questions as we move forward. I can understand the initial urge to keep taxes out of it, but I think looking at how states that are taxing it are doing, shows that this proves to be extremely beneficial to the state. State after state are making tens of millions of dollars in taxes, which are then used to rebuild roads, clean up cities, update schools' technology, etc.
Also, no fines for having weed.
The problem with NJ is the Democratic Party wants to legalize and tax weed. They also want to raise all the other taxes to cover roads and schools. So it never ends.
Finally, it's NJ. Where the money always disappears anyway. The corruption is beyond insane.
