I found this line particularly hilarious
"The total tax revenue for Colorado was $13,327,123,798, making marijuana only 1.18% of the state's total tax revenue"
They are trying to say that single product making up 1% of the state budget means it's not generating enough revenue LOL
There's definitely negatives to marijuana legalization, but they are worth the cost when you consider hard drug use went way down, incarceration and enforcing costs are astronomical, etc.
I find it pretty dumb that there's a "legal" way to get it and an "illegal" way to get it. If I want to grow and dry tobacco on my own property I can, why should marijuana be any different if it's otherwise legal?
Im a little surprised you find taxes dumb tbh.
