    Open letter to the Diputados and President. Your missing opportunity here for the Costarricenses here to earn a living and for you to collect taxes. There are many areas in the USA and Canada that sell openly and collect taxes as well. This would be a boom to CR. The “war” on marihuana has been lost decades ago. Wake up .

      Beg to differ with you sir. I know of no Mary Jane Company paying taxes in the U.S. Maybe you can enlighten me. Hope so!

        State sells tax to start with. Near Oakland,Ca a shop sells and yes charges sells tax.

  • observer

    I agree with disgusted. Uruguay is making their move now. I do want to note though that “50 square meters by 30 square meters” gives you a 4 dimensional space, which if you smoke enough weed would seem reasonable. I suspect it was actually 50 meters by 30 meters, which would result in 1500 square meters?

      Santo mierda ! (can I say that?) looks like we are getting into string theory now. light up another!

  • prdatki

    Donna Chiwawa and her Crooks should be fired, it is time to Legallize and Tax Marihuana. The money should be used to improve the schools.

    • Randy Roden

      Yeah! Nothing like a bunch of hop heads walking around town high on weed to encourage the kids to learn more in school!! Think that will happen?????

      • prdatki

        If you legalize it you thake the fun out of it,ask the kid down the street he / she can buy it any time.

      • venom90

        have you seen that ”book” by snoop dog? why not wright a book telling kids how to rape and not get caught?

  • SirVivor

    It is not only a waste of resources, but also an unjustifiable moralistic attack against a plant and an overly harsh punishment for a crime with NO victims.

  • venom90

    someone help me pick a sad face.
