(2,550 posts)Oregon has collected $65.4 million in marijuana business tax payments since January 2016.
SALEM, Ore. The marijuana business in Oregon is becoming a bonanza for the state.
The Oregon Department of Revenue announced Tuesday it received $5.3 million in marijuana tax payments in January. The grand total of $65.4 million received in the year since Oregon started taxing pot sales is blowing the original estimate out of the water.
Last May, the Legislative Revenue Office quadrupled its estimate of net marijuana tax revenues that the state was expected to receive through June 30 of this year from $8.4 million to $35 million.

The way it's going, with more and more states legalizing, and reaping YUUGE financial benefits, it may not be long until it's finally legal in all states.
