City of San Jose is trying to put in place a 10% SALES TAX in
addition
to the states 9.25% sales tax.. Taxing medication in SJ at
19.25%!
With
a survey of less then 800 "likely voters," of which over 50% were
over
45-White/Caucasians, and 80% lived in single family homes, the
city
of San Jose has come to the conclusion that a 10% sales tax for
medical
cannabis is appropriate. The survey they used is
both
confusing and misleading. This is another attempt by the powers
at be
to chase medical cannabis out of
San Jose. A 19.25% tax would drive
medical
patients back to the streets, where no tax is charged or out
of town
for their medication
San Jose's goal is to place the 10% tax on
the November Ballot, at the
next city council meeting
