Not even 8 months after my home state of Arizona voted against recreational legalization in part due to meddling and hack science, Colorado has reported that since the beginning of the year they have made $620 million in sales with $95 million of it going to the state1.

Meanwhile, Jeff Sessions continues insisting that marijuana will lead to the fall of society.

    the drawback is that if it were legalized but not regulated The People could decide how to spend their money without The Leech Class taking a large cut. just b/c the gov report says $% went to education, most of it actually got wasted on slave pens/school buildings, ripoff textbooks, shitty teachers/propagandists, useless admins, etc. I do agree that it's better than giving it to foreign cartels, but just a little bit.
