Now this is the kind of stuff that will get it done -
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/may/24/cannabis-industry-lobby-washington-legalization
To further its case, the NCIA released a report highlighting economic benefits in the five states – Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington – that taxed and regulated the commercial production and sale of marijuana in 2017.
Those states collected more than $790m in state tax revenue that year, the report found, with tax revenue reaching $247m in Colorado alone. The analysis also cited a 445% increase in the number of marijuana industry job postings in 2017, according to the job placement firm ZipRecruiter, compared with an increase of 18% the year before.
We all know politicians can't refuse new sources of other people's money.
Free da weed!
