Could there be a legit way of taxation for said drugs. Not weed.
If they made recreational drugs legal, I imagine they'd need to be regulated like alcohol, tobacco, and now weed. So licensing, regulation, and taxes should apply.
Absolutely. Solves problems for every side. As well as instituting purity laws. Then having an OD is like driinking oneself to death. I'm no fan of taxes, but I'd rather my money go to the state than some criminals, and I'd rather have pure drugs than fentsnyl laced bullshit.
Criminals will continue to sell, slightly below market for taxed weed, and will keep the money coming their way. Taxation is an excuse for government control.
Imagine the fuckton-O-cash the Govt.& the pharmaceutical co.s would make.
Indeed, though I think I'd try to find a way to keep the pharmas out of it. Some rule about medicine vs. recreation. That's why I was entirely against using medical reasons for legalizing weed.
Already with regulated and taxed weed you see unlicensed, illegal grow operations to avoid taxes. The drug warriors just turn into revenue agents and the war continues against citizens doing as they choose.
