LEGAL POT IN WASHINGTON BRINGS IN $65 MILLION IN TAXES

Washington state took in $65 million in tax revenue from the 
recreational marijuana market during the first 12 months since it 
became legal to produce and sell, according to data released by state 
regulators last week. The revenue was generated by cannabis sales of 
more than $260 million from June 2014 to June 2015, according to data 
released by the Washington State Liquor Control Board.
