“Whoever drafted this ordinance lacks the basic knowledge of marijuana and its components to efficiently implement it. CBD has marijuana in it,— though a small percentage. Where is the cutoff percentage and what is and isn't taxed? It is clear this is misinformed attempt to tax an already overtaxed and overregulated industry, and I strongly discourage anyone for voting in favor of it.”

Where is the cutoff percentage and what is and isn't taxed? It is clear this is misinformed attempt to tax an already overtaxed and overregulated industry, and I strongly discourage anyone for voting in favor of it.
