Actually, it isn't bringing in all that much tax revenue. Under 2% of Colorado's tax revenue comes from Pot taxes. And schools, you know the ones who were supposed to see the money, many have seen no taxes come in from Pot and those that have, take Jefferson County (largest in the State) have seen $500,000. That $500,000 sounds like a lot until you realize the District's budget is over $1 billion. The big tax revenue being brought in meme is false.
Oh, and I doubt anything changes in Colorado. The federal government already enforces Pot laws in the state. If you are caught with it on federal land you are ticketed and fined. And you may not realize it, but a large portion of Colorado is federal land. Including every major ski resort in the state.
right. this is a billion dollar business bringing millions in tax revenue. i dont expect people and states will go along quietly.
