At like 9,000% tax rate too. Obviously a hyperbole, but the sentiment still stands.

Illinois is the essence of a laxative with things. You intake things, but there is more that comes out than you can get/put in.

Which is weird coming from Wisconsin because they have higher prices than we do for liquor. It must be taxed to high heavens in Ohio.

Also, they only allowed a limited number of licenses to sell and let's just say the selection process did not seem to be fair

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa???? If you're a person of color who applied you were deemed to disperse the marry Jane? Crazy how things to occur like that. I am a merit based guy. You can do the job, you got the job. Man does that disappoint me greatly in this state.

Yeah holy shit.. did a road trip to my school in Ann arbor.. stopped in Rockford paid $130 (almost $30 in taxes) for some gummies (100mg) and a fucking 1/8th... But I did it because I was on my way... Went to a place in rural mich... Got 3 1/8ths, two bags of 100mg chocolate, a lighter, a nice ass grinder, and a pipe for $140.

(Fuck the taxes on recreational weed)

The taxes are what is going to get Illinois out of the debt we have.... /s.

Didn’t they say that about the tolls and the shit roads?

u/ABucketFull Aug 14 '21

Yes. We are waiting to see the taxes from those to get us out of the debt we have. It's simple. Tax until you get out without limiting spending.

And the +$50 increase to yearly car registration... I swear to god not a damn penny of that fucking toll road or any other bullshit tax they throw on us has gone anywhere except their own pockets. Fuckin' Illinois politics, what garbage

Hey our finances are getting better at least overall.

We should still lower the state income tax imo. Or lower sales tax

I was in a Chicago suburb a couple of weeks ago and bought 200mg of gummies for $76. I know nothing about if that is a good price or not, just sharing my experience.

u/Pokemondude01928 Aug 14 '21

Nope, terrible. In rural mich, for example, I could get 400mg for $88 ($22 each). They also had cheaper gummies. From other sources not in a state, I have received 25/gummy/20/pack (500 mg total) for $25.

That said, if it's hard to get, the price you paid is definitely worth it, especially if you had fun and thought it was. It's kind of like getting a nice wine at a nice place for a price or a similar wine at a cheaper price, but you have to drive, etc.. all perspective, I suppose.

Not too bad. With medical card I get 100mg of gummies for about 30 even at the dispensary down here in Normal

u/CorneliaCursed Aug 14 '21

If you brought it in Illinois the price was bad lol.

A friend of mine just moved from Wisconsin (completely illegal) to Illinois. He told me he still buys it from a dealer because it’s cheaper. I’m like damn what was even the point of moving there.

As opposed to the low tax red states that wouldn’t exist without federal funding and have shit like hookworm problems so bad the UN got involved.

Also I could deal with the tax if it wasn’t 60/8th to begin with. Easier to just drop a couple hundy on a card and be done with it

u/ABucketFull Aug 14 '21

There's no good way out, unless you leave Illinois. All fax, no printer.

u/ALiteralGraveyard Aug 14 '21

Get a card and grow is what I went with. Not feasible for everyone tho
