With the economy the way it is and states running out of money, they’re looking to new ways to create revenue, including the legalization and taxation of marijuana:
Betty Yee, chairwoman of the California Board of Equalization, the state’s tax collector, said that legal marijuana could raise nearly $1 billion per year via a $50-per-ounce fee charged to retailers. An additional $400 million could be raised through sales tax on marijuana sold to buyers.
While I can certainly write, I’ve come to the notion that I can’t really write a story. I read plenty, but its only snippets of random internet articles and websites and Wikipedia entries.
I have thus decided to take upon reading fiction. Any recommendations from anybody?
