[QUOTE="Twistid, post: 6436281, member: 555101"] Who is to consider what is a normal price and what isn't? Following this logic , then it would be assumed the same thing could be applied to anything that's currently taxed and renewable; Tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco has nearly met or surpassed 100% taxation rates in some states, yet I've never read about major underground Tobacco growing operation busts? Sure there is corruption and crime dealing with anything taxable (alcohol+cigarette running), but to lump it into a sentence about it can't be taxed and fully controlled is just silly. To say that the government wouldn't be able to make money off it because of over taxing which would lead to other illegal untaxed sources and suppliers is possible and might be a problem in the beginning but it would eventually die off and become as commonplace as your friend drinking bathtub moonshine.
