The Cannabis Economy in Colorado is Strengthening

As the health benefits of Cannabis grow obvious, economies are also strengthening where consciousness and empathy prevail. For Colorado, this could mean returning money to taxpayers as they experience a tax surplus.

Everyone must now look closely at anyone who claims to be in favor of

• more money for education and healthcare,
• more money for government services,
• or lowering the cost of doing business in Hawaii,

if they are opposed to legalizing Cannabis.

We don’t advocate for legalization because that will happen naturally. However, it’s quite obvious that returning Cannabis to lawful status is the best thing for patients.

Colorado is just one emerging example.
