Grateful Dead Legend Jerry Garcia’s Family Pulls Pot Business Out Of California Over Taxes

Grateful Dead legend Jerry Garcia’s relatives are truckin’ out of California, apparently because the Golden State’s high taxes and anti-business climate are just too harsh on the family’s marijuana business.

Garcia Hand Picked, which the late guitar wizard’s family started in 2020, told SFGate.com the company just can’t make a go of it in the Golden State.

Yes, and I understand that California and several other states are trying to find a legal way to CONTINUE to tax the rich people that are fleeing.

@Stereoguy The people leaving should take a leaf from the book of deadbeat Dads, who claim they aren't working while working under the table, or that they had no profits from their businesses. (On the public set of books, at least).

I wouldn't want to encourage deadbeat Dads to continue stiffing their children, but I would actually enjoy seeing the state of California getting stiffed.

@Stereoguy I wish we could keep them from voting in Texas for 10 years after they move here.
