Voters in Maine and a modest bunch of different states are choosing whether to legalize recreational cannabis this November. One thing that could swing the vote is the likelihood of an influx of money in tax revenue from retail cannabis deals. Colorado was the main state in the nation to reveal a duty plan for legitimate pot in 2013 after recreational marijuana was legalized in 2012. So how are voters in Colorado spending the money, and what ought to Maine voters anticipate?
Maine, similar to a considerable measure of different states, could simply utilize more income, so the likelihood of millions from the sanctioning pot is luring. In any case, numerous voters there are uncertain how that cash will be spent. Erin McGee Ferrell addressed us in downtown Portland. McGee is a non-permanent parent and says she doesn’t get repaid much. She says that range is one state program that could utilize all the more financing.
“I know there’s a lot of problems regarding needing more money for health issues and people who are addicted to opioids. I mean, there’s such a lack of money for children and health issues,” she adds.
The mayor of Portland, Ethan Strimling, has the same worries that voters do. In fact, he would like to know, how is the money from cannabis going towards individual communities?
“All we have at the local level is property taxes,” Strimling states. “It would be great if some of the revenue that’s generated from this legalization could stay in the community where it’s having the most impact.”
At the end of the day, they’d like to fund substance misuse program to balance any negative effects of legalization. In Colorado, it’s a blended sack with respect to where the cash from pot is spent. The state has a huge number of nearby and state charges on retail marijuana. Just about everyone through the whole inventory network is paying into the framework, including producers, testing research facilities and retail shops.
