INCARCERATION

  • In Michigan prisons there are about 180-200 prisoners serving time because they were either selling or had possession of cannabis
  • $35,000 to house a prisoner annually.
  • $35,000 X 180 prisoners= $6,300,000 a year in taxes being paid to jail

  • Colorado was the first state to legalize cannabis
  • They collect approximately $70 million in the first year of legalization alone
