S2E03 Addictions And Economics (Re-Hash)


Listen Later

Yes we are going waaaayyy back in the archives today. Pre-legalization back. But the discussion about taxes and addiction are still very relevant.


Are we addicted to taxes? Trevor and Kirk talk to Dr. Jason Childs. He is an economist who says whether you want to reduce harm from cannabis or increase government coffers then keep taxes on cannabis low. In fact, having the government subsidize licensed producers might be a brilliant idea. In part 2 we have Dr. Jonathon Stea. He is a psychologist who has studied and treated cannabis addiction. Surprisingly, cannabis is probably going to be both worse and better than you imagine post legalization.
