verge of legalizing marijuana, and hoping to tax it to try to dig out of its
current budget abyss. These days there is something about in the news
nearly every day. I always hear about new medications needing
hundreds of millions of dollars worth of clinical testing to verify
that any new medication is safe and effective before it gets FDA
approval. So why wouldn't that apply here? Is this a special
case? Or is it just being legalized without FDA approval, state only and
not the fed, and if so, why couldn't you do the same trick with any
experimental medication? A pharma company could make plenty of money
selling a medication in Taxifornia only, and Taxifornia will allow *anything* at
this point if there is tax revenue to be collected. This state has 30
million willing and eager proles on which to experiment.
