Since the first markets opened a decade ago, states have now generated more than $20 billion in adult-use tax revenue according to a new report. Just last year, states collected over $4 billion in adult-use tax revenue—the most ever generated in a single year, according to Marijuana Policy Project. “State-legal cannabis sales continue to provide significant economic benefits,” Karen O'Keefe, director of state policies at MPP, said in a press release. “With over $20 billion generated in adult-use cannabis tax revenue since the first sales began, the legal cannabis industry is providing much-needed funding for crucial services and programs in states across the country.” See the full report: https://lnkd.in/ge8GbSa3

"Too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana." President Biden released a statement earlier this morning announcing that the Justice Department is "taking the next step" to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III. "At my request, and guided by science and evidence, HHS and DOJ have studied the drug's medical use and abuse and dependency potential and are recommending rescheduling – concluding reclassification would remove barriers to critical research. No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Today’s announcement builds on the work we’ve already done to pardon a record number of federal offenses for simple possession of marijuana." Biden said in the announcement.
