Director of communications for the Marijuana Policy Project, Mason Tvert has said that the new excise tax will rise by 24.1 dollars in 2014, all of which will be contributed for public school construction.

 

Tvert also said that the marijuana legalization will see law enforcement savings worth 12 million dollars next year, adding that the idea behind the low drug prices is to put the underground marijuana market out of business.

 

Meanwhile, an independent analysis by the Colorado Center on Law and Policy found that the state is likely to see 'combined savings and additional revenue worth 60 million as Colorado's budget with a potential for this number to double after 2017.' (ANI)
