Colorado's state revenue from its booming marijuana industry has surpassed $1 billion, official data shows—and that money is going towards vital public services.for adults wishing to consume the drug recreationally, becoming the first of several states to do so after a public vote two years earlier. It already permitted marijuana consumption for medical purposes.
The state also highlighted how that revenue is being distributed. Some is going directly to a public school construction fund and local authorities within the state. But the bulk of the revenue is going into the state's Marijuana Tax Cash Fund. A further $21.6 million that year went to local affairs, the bulk of which went on affordable housing construction. Another $20.4 million was appropriated for school health professionals, early literacy and preventing school bullying and student dropouts.
