Colorado has collected over $3B in marijuana tax revenue to pave roads, build schools, rec centers and so much more, all while successfully cracking down on the underground market. Oh, and we didn't use $50M in taxpayer dollars to block access to freedom. But you do you.
Ron DeSantis@RonDeSantis

Well, that has not been the experience in Colorado. The tax revenue from marijuana sales has fallen dramatically in recent years — largely because imposing taxes makes the black market marijuana more economical. Hence, why states like CO have seen an increase in the black market, not an elimination of it.

Good morning from Inauguration Day in DC. @CharlesBachtell and I alongside our incredible teams and lobbyists have had great conversations over the last couple of days as we peacefully transition to a new administration under @realDonaldTrump. There is a lot of work to do to move cannabis policy forward and allow for further research under Schedule 3 while pushing for the removal of absurd laws that have led to the de-banking of countless Americans (myself included). It’s a new day and the time is now. #Onward #GodBlessAmerica 💚🇺🇸

Raise your hand if you thought you would be alive to see today's announcement...
Governor Jared Polis@GovofCO

I am thrilled by the Biden Administration’s decision to begin the process of finally rescheduling cannabis, following the lead of Colorado voters and 37 other states that have already legalized marijuana for medical or adult use, correcting decades of outdated federal policy. This action is good for Colorado businesses and our economy, it will improve public safety and will support a more just and equitable system for all. We look forward to when Colorado businesses will continue to safely fulfill the consumer demand without facing additional safety challenges and unnecessary financial burdens that 280E tax provisions created.

Now hear this...
Governor Jared Polis@GovofCO

Colorado’s progressive, nation-leading cannabis industry has created tens of thousands of jobs, as well as countless opportunities for other local industries and small businesses to thrive. We continue to push for federal action when it comes to safe banking and reclassifying marijuana. And through it all, we’ve put equity at the center of our work, because people who have been at the short end of the war on cannabis for decades should be near the front of the line for the kinds of opportunities that come out of a rational, regulated federal structure. ow.ly/6mbG50Rcqrq

I am disgusted with this anti-Semitic behavior. Calling for the eradication of Jews should not be tolerated. #coleg #copolitics

I sat down with Weed Wonks host Jordan Wellington and Mason Tvert for an in-depth talk about the cannabis-related proposals in our new state budget and how Colorado can improve public safety and remain a leader in cannabis. ow.ly/61i350Q4IjB

I see the comments and I know a lot of you are asking about the status of marijuana 👀 I hear you, and just know that we are trying to work quickly but still have a few hoops we need to jump through. As always, the science will guide this decision. More from what I told @KDKA:

Thrilled to see @POTUS follow Colorado’s lead - 2 years ago, I took bold action to clean up past inequities by pardoning convictions for Coloradans who possessed a small amount of cannabis. Today’s federal action will change people’s lives and not block their success.

Passing this critical legislation today would be a small part of a fitting memorial for a man whose efforts made it possible. This should be the year that we finish the pioneering work of his career, a fitting capstone to a lifetime of cannabis leadership, activism, and progress.

Steve's life work, leadership, and strategic brilliance were unmatched. As someone who has worked on cannabis reform longer than any politician in America, I know how deeply we are all indebted to Steve. We mourn his loss and extend our thoughts to his family and friends.

As we prepare to pass the SAFE Banking Act, I want to acknowledge the tragic passing of Steve Fox, a pioneering advocate and strategist in the marijuana cannabis legalization effort. We would not be here today without Steve and his amazing efforts.
