Establish a "dedicated drug fund" for all revenue received by the liquor control board, and explicitly earmarks any surplus from this new revenue for health care (55%), drug abuse treatment and education (25%), with 1% for drug-related research at State Universities, most of the remainder going to the state general fund. |
$250 with a $1000 renewel fee seems pretty light for retailers. I mean shit I think my boss paid something like 2,000-3,000 just for a filing fee for a hard liquor liscense that he was later denied and didn't get the money back.
The Marijuana stuff seems fine price wise.
$100 per gram of hard drugs seems far to expensive, especially at the levels of purity the government will likely allow.
Doing some more research, Pure Cocaine production wise costs something like $800 tops when it comes to producing a Kilogram of Cocaine.

1 Kilogram = 1,000 Grams.
So we're talking 8 cents a gram of cocaine. So while a gram is $100 now... drug dealers can go waaaaay down to match price and still make a hefty profit.
That's before you even consider cutting... and I imagine that US legal cocaine will be cut very heavily.
It's not so bad with Meth... I forget how it is with heroin... but Cocaine? A gram of Cocaine... is going to have to be REALLY cheap. Which means crack will be even cheaper.
At the "pure" purity... $20 for a gram is probably more accurate. Assuming that they regulate purity like i'd expect.... I'd think no more then $5.
As for the "Drug Taverns". I don't really like the idea. I mean, i feel like most people will want to use in their home, and therefore will then just buy illegally.
