Well, it looks as if Washington is seeing some RISING effects from it’s legalization of marijuana for recreational use. According to recent reports from the Washington State Liquor Control Board, state-authorized weed retailers sold over $257 million dollars, which generated more than $64 million in state income tax — coming out to a rough total of over $70 million.
These impressive numbers are likely to catch the eyes of policymakers in other states that could use a little help closing their budget gaps.
So, lets get this money out of the wrong hands — the drug dealers, and get them into the right hands — the fuckin’ people. Marijuana and humanity win once again. Yay.
