Congressional Democrats have released a report that discusses the economic benefits of legalized cannabis. In what is sure to be a boon for cannabis activists, like flashkiki.com, the facts and projections were largely favorable. The report covers both “state and national levels,” and was published as The National Cannabis Economy. Chile, I love the sound of that.

Here are the facts, America. In 2017 $8 Billion was raked in by legal sales of ‘ dat weed. 2018 is slated to see $11 Billion in ganja revenue. But if you’re still skeptical that this is a cash cow that our growing deficit needs, a projected $23 Billion is expected in 2023. Facts are Facts America.

Other expectations that were laid out by the report were positive figures that impact jobs, healthcare, and taxes. The report also sought to break down the financials state by state. Federal prohibition is counterproductive and pointless, predic tiably.

We’re hoping this becomes a bi-partisan issue as it has been shown to unite the parties. Prison Reform enjoys wide bipartisan support and is quixotically linked to legal cannabis. The disparities that Prison Reform addresses are identical to those behind cannabis bans. Namely, that minorities of color are disproportionately targeted. Prison Reform is set to become law in a rare bipartisan show of unity. Earlier in the week bans on hemp were lifted bipartisanly, which is a good sign.
