On a side note, The Arizona Senate today just approved a bill to put before voters in November to legalize (and heavily tax, of course) medical marijuana again. We voters approved it (back in '96, IIRC) once; but the wording of the bill did it in - it said it had to be prescribed by a doctor, which is illegal under federal law. This time around, it just says it must be recommended by a doctor. So I guess now we'll just need a note! No problem in my wife's case - she's already had at least three doctors recommend it for her chronic pain. Anyway, they're going to tax it both at the 5.6% state tax rate, and put a $20 per ounce "luxury tax" on top of it. That sucks, but it's better than nothing.
As I said earlier, I'm all for this. Just make sure (like Arizona didn't) that federal law doesn't supersede it.
