There’s just so much tax revenue to be made from the legalization of cannabis and cannabis products.
I still have to pinch myself at time when I think back at how hard it was to access decent marijuana. Now, I simply go to the cannabis dispensary. But as a longtime recreational marijuana user, I can remember just how tough it was back in the day. There was so much stress involved just to get a small quantity of sativa or indica products. I still have a complete memory of just how uncomfortable it was trying to buy cannabis products from somebody I really didn’t know. So the fact that I can simply walk into a local cannabis spot is so much easier but it also comes with a lot of thankfulness as well. It’s all become so easy now that our state finally came to its senses when it comes to responsible cannabis laws. Our state modeled the success for legalized medical marijuana from states out west. For years and years, medical marijuana legislation simply stalled due to it being a political hot button. Those against cannabis continued to hold up even medical marijuana by using so much misinformation. However, legalize marijuana did prevail. Yet, I’m not naive enough to not believe it’s all about the money. There’s just so much tax revenue to be made from the legalization of cannabis and cannabis products. There is no way politicians we’re going to pass up that kind of tax windfall. Still, it feels really good to not have to worry about being on the wrong side of the law just to have some marijuana. Yet each time I walk into my local cannabis spot, I do so with a great deal of respect and gratitude that I live in an era where that’s possible.
