Pot Goes on Sale in Colorado: Cash or Bitcoin Only

I'm glad others chimed in on the gateway drug fallacy. It amazes me how our of touch some ppl are.

How are they taxing the bitcoin transactions?

current sales tax rules apply to bitcoin as well as far as i know.  weither you accept cash, debit, credit, bitcoin, etc etc  you still need to pay sales tax and income tax on it.  in many ways i would think bitcoin makes it a bit easier since all transactions will always be available you never have to worry about losing receipts or missing something.  could also make it harder to avoid paying taxes if you were trying to, like you can do with cash and often times not get caught.

Isn't marijuana only a gateway drug if it's illegal, because illegal drug dealers aren't limited to only ever selling a single drug; so if you want to "upgrade" all you have to do is ask? It's not like government-run dispensaries would should have cocaine, meth, ecstasy, etc. in the back.

It's only a gateway drugs according to the powers that be. Only a fool thinks this gateway drug theory is true.

Depends on how you define gateway drug theory. If the illegal street drug dealer is the gatekeeper, and marijuana is illegal and sold with all his other drugs, then it's not a matter of "risk" of doing harder drugs, it's the possibility of doing harder drugs that gatekeeper offers; which is 100% of what he has in stock. Legalizing only marijuana in theory makes the possibility of taking that particular gate to harder drugs 0%, because the government's gatekeeper will not provide them.
