I refuse to accept the accuracy of any data produced by that group particularly when any statisitcal information is grossly bias...

Cannabis production really would not be that valuable a market for any Government, fertilisers are already produced, legally (how else to current criminal producers obtain it). If Cannabis was EVER legalised it would be an over the counter purchase, with advertisment, much like cigarettes, being illegal. You really wouldn't need that much space. Would pharmacies really be inundated, I know its the most common drug used in the world, but it really isn't THAT popular.

The checks are in the mail. That's the message the Oregon Department of Revenue sent Friday when it announced it will pay out $85 million in marijuana taxes for schools, public health, police and local governments by next week.

The payouts represent the first distributions of state marijuana tax revenues since Oregon opened its legal recreational cannabis market.

Yeah, but you want to look at the level of fecal bacteria on McDonalds touchscreens, cash machines and virtually everything else that people touch.
