A new television advertisement was released by the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol asking voters to Vote for Colorado and say ‘Yes on Amendment 64.’ This commercial focuses on the lost revenue currently due to the black market, what kind of revenue might be expected from passing amendment 64 and how that revenue can be used to build schools that have been planned, but are not funded by the state.
