Regulation, Education, and Taxation

  • Allows government to reasonably control how marijuana is sold in our communities through regulation and taxation, which in turn raises revenue for education and healthcare programs.

  • Focuses parent and community efforts on stopping out-of-control youth access to marijuana.

  • Reduces the number of youth exposed to criminal groups on the street and in our criminal justice system.

  • Stops billions of dollars from going to criminal organizations each year.
