From commenter “AJ:”
As I predicted you got your pot, but you idiots have effectively allowed your Pols, to tax and regulate it back to a contraband enterprise.
- Med Tax
- Local Sale Tax
- Il. Sales Tax
- Il. Rec Tax (THC35%)
On say a $200 purchase, you morons will pay about $80 in Tax on already overpriced product, which equates to 4-5 X what you would pay on the street.
Congrats on your new found ‘freedom’.

It appears that illegal sales will continue.
John Kass writes, “…a city worker friend working on Chicago’s West Side told me that dealers are now shouting ‘No taxes! We don’t tax!’ as customers pulled up for their illegal non-Pritzker-approved weed.”
And this product may have the highest “sin” tax in Illinois.
Illinois is winning!
Pritzker is a f-ing giant genius!
I wonder what percentage of pot sales will fall into the “inventory shrinkage” category?
How about a hefty head tax on Illegal aliens in our sanctuary state? That should net millions!
FYI ‘AJ’ is my drunk internet commenting, hobo stunt double.
Reefer Madness…right back to the street to get it, just no edibles, chocolate flavors available.
Idiot Illinois, gonna create a whole new mafia to push the Gonj.

Gonna create Bob?
Really.
We haven’t had an illegal pot trade in illinois previously.
Where have you been, tending your unicorn herd?
Police now have to make a big deal out of illegal purchases of pot to push the legal sales.
They are now the legal street salesmen for pot.
Angel, go get some Sativa suppositories. Alabama Snake will put them in for you!
