legalization wi,1 kill the only chance
WV has to escape our budget crisis.
! understand you serve with
Senator Sessions in Washington, but
hewas denied a federal judgeship
over concerns that he was racist and
still displays the same prejudices
including that the KKK is OK except
that they smoke marijuana. Senator
Sessions will most likely push for
wholesale changes and hardline
stances on immigration, terrorism,
crime, drugs and guns; and he could
wipe away Progress in access to
medical marijuana, changes in
legalization of marijuana at the
state level, and enforcement at the
Federal level.
The WV Center on the Budget
and Policy also has an excellent
presentation on their website (
www.wvpolicy.org/how-legalizing-
marijuana-could-impact-west-
virginia ) explaining the profound
impact that the legalization of
recreational, medical, and industrial
marijuana can have on the WV's
budget crisis, WV farmers, and WV
retailers. Being located within 250-
mile radius of a significant amount
of the eastern population of the
United States and given the Federal
prohibition on the transportation of
cannabis across state lines,
marijuana consumed in WV must be
produced in state and the product
as demonstrated in Colorado and
Washington State will act as a
tremendous tourist draw. At
taxation levels of 25% per ounce, the
estimated state tax revenues would
amount to $194 million and,
therefore, represents $776 million in
retail sales, and utilizing
conventional supplier models of 50%
retail markup, 30% wholesale
markup - $271 million in
agricultural revenues for WV
farmers. It is not clear how much
revenue will be generated from
hotels, restaurants, and
destinations catering to the needs ot
out-of-state visitors but what we do
know is that every year since
Colorado's legalization that their
cannabis tourism has grown and
that state in 2014 had 71.3 million
visitors and tourism revenue of
$18.6 billion.
In comparison, West Virginia in
2014 had $4.5 billion in revenues.
And we know from the Drug Policy
Alliance six-month status report.on
Colorado
( http://www.drugpolicy.org/
colorado-sixmonth-status-rQport )
that positive changes are immediate
and rapid including winning over
the original opponents and
established politicians of their state
- many of who are now its strongest
supporters.
Support our state by opposing
Sessions.
Happy Holidays!
