BEYOND ALCOHOL

Smart alcohol users ought to join the effort to tax and regulate cannabis.

Why should drinkers bear the brunt of government waste?

Instead of paying taxes, cannabis consumers are targeted by law
enforcement. When the state could be generating new revenue, it
continues to do the exact opposite: waste limited taxpayer money with
cannabis prohibition enforcement.

Avoid the next alcohol tax hike by regulating marijuana
now.
