TAXES FROM WEED: I’m just back from Washington State, where legalized marijuana racked up more than $183 million in taxes and about a billion in sales so far this fiscal year, which started last July.
Meanwhile, California is just embarking on its own legal-pot adventure, with millions in weed profits and taxes looming — except that President Trump has decided to crack down on weed. Why?
With 28 states and D.C. having okayed pot in some form and several more in the process, and 60 percent of Americans in favor of legalizing marijuana, why start busting something that’s so popular?
