I contributed to those totals all four years. :)
This seems like a nonpartisan issue, in so far as it being something that both progressives and conservatives can get behind. Although conservatives oppose drug legalization, the fiscal impact is nothing but positive for the state, so I wonder what they care about more on an individual level; saving/making money by legalizing cannabis by eliminating the funds that go along with criminalization, like putting people in jail and arresting people with a little bit of weed, and nearly all progressives support legalization.. Seems like it would be a win/win

Joe Manchin is pretending to be a Democrat while voting with Trump more consistently than any other Democrat in congress. Paula Jean is an actual liberal progressive who doesn't accept corporate campaign contributions and who will actually represent the voters of West Virginia

Whatever you got was probably a better product. Very little "fire" in the taxed pot world. However, every once in a while . . .
I disagree. The quality of product I buy from recreational clubs is much better than the untaxed alternative I can usually find elsewhere

Consistently?
Yeah, the quality is relatively consistent. I get a bad batch from a cannabis shop maybe 5% of the time, but even then I mark it up to the person selecting the weed (I normally have someone else pick it up for me) rather than the club itself. They usually have anywhere between 10-100 different strains depending on the shop you go to

It's 20% on rec in my shire
That would make it a $42 8th. I think, even then I wouldn't mind so much. I remember before CA became legal, during the voting, people in the opposition camp were making claims the taxes would make it so expensive it would just become unaffordable to many people.. I think this shows those claims to be wrong.

So if a person has "permission" to grow a little bit of marijuana, as long as they give some money to the same organization which threatens to steal their house, shoot their dog and lock them up for years, everything is okay?

How is that any kind of a victory for freedom again?
Because it's better than not being able to do it at all.

You really don't get this incrementalism thing, do you?
