The marijuana industry supports hundreds of small businesses across our state. Since legalization, marijuana has generated $617,767,334 in tax revenue. Instead of going to drug cartels, that money helps fund our schools and addiction treatment programs for more dangerous drugs.

For example, the BEST program receives millions of dollars in marijuana tax revenue to help build or improve schools in rural Colorado. Here are some projects we've funded for our kids that would be out millions of dollars if Jeff Sessions had his way. https://www.cde.state.co.us/cdefinance/ccabestlegislativereportfy15-16 …pic.twitter.com/19FTvboAld

And some more. New roofs for schools in El Paso and La Plata counties. Fire suppression emergency generators for a school in Durango. Renovations for a school in Ouray. Marijuana tax revenue helped fund them. Is your school's roof TOO NICE? Jeff Sessions is on the case.pic.twitter.com/Uvnoigux6C

Instead of using taxpayer resources to go after a drug that's safer than alcohol, Jeff Sessions should focus on political corruption and white collar crime. Seems like there's plenty of that to go around in DC. If only there was some way we could mellow him out

RAND study found that prescriptions of opioids & reported opioid abuse decline where state-legal marijuana dispensaries operate

Yep! Because there is a viable alternative for pain control that is safe and not addictive the way narcotics are!

Ah.... It's not viable. Not until big pharma can figure out a way to control the market. THEN, it's viable.

Sadly, yes. Thew bigger issue always has and always be big money intervention in politics. Start by ending that, many, many common-sense things will fall into place.
