Equity tax on weed?

But equity and extortion don't pair well.

This article seemingly makes the case for Nelson's amendment. Having an impartial third party conduct the study does not preclude any cannabis locations from unionizing nor curtail union activity. The community impacted is asking for an impartial study yet Mosqueda is swayed more by the union who is telling her they speak for black/brown workers? If Mosqueda rams this through and the study comes back supporting mandatory unions in cannabis locations that receive preferential treatment can anyone take that seriously?

Better legal than not, but an industry that profits on addiction and escapism is kinda sad.

@5: No more than wine, liquor, beer, tobacco, and even caffeine industries. Tell me how those are not profiting off of "addiction" and "escapism". Not to say that profiting is bad, in fact it's great capitalism.

That straight and narrow judgmental attitude is what's sad.

@7 Yeah the alcohol and tobacco industries are angels. And “sin” products make for more regressive taxes (35%+ for cannabis??)
