Taxes and whatnot aside, alcohol distribution is limited to just the normal company structure of which there is really only one type which is the production and sales of their product. Marijuana on the other hand has dozens more applications than alcohol does ranging from hemp to cannabutter and companies can emerge essentially overnight to overtake those markets so that they can grab premium market share. Marijuana is also more accessible due to ease and volume of production as well as being SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, allowing those companies to make money much more easily.
Those reasons alone is why legalization should have happened a long time ago if we wanted to bolster the getting out of a deficit situation. Nonetheless, good job to those states. I wonder what my cousins opinion on this is, since he's been distributing weed in colorado for well over a year now.
Well no matter what it's a step. California was a bad example because it was so goddamn regulated. It cost more to produce than to sell. However these two states seem a little more "go for it". So if their local economies grow at the, what I believe, the exaggerated rate claimed, then it'll definitely give a little more incentive for the fed's to let it go already.
