"And on Tuesday,Amazon (AMZN) announced its support for the federal legalization of marijuana — indicating a growing willingness in Corporate America to throw its weight behind the issue."
===============================

Corporate America has figured out there is too much money in the marijuana trade to keep holding its prissy nose in the air.

Canada is completely legal.

I think the Colorado politicians are happy with the tax dollars being generated. At some point, I would think the Kansas lawmakers will wise up that a lot of wear and tear on I-70 is being generated from all the traffic heading to and from Colorado.

Surprisingly, I have not heard of too many Oklahoma politicians whining about not wanting the revenues being generated my its medical marijuana sales.

The whole cannabis thing was not thought through before it was legalized here. Fortunately for me my city said no to sales, grow operations and hash oil extractions.
The damn stench that’s generated in the above operations cannot be exaggerated. And where does that tax money go? Hell, who knows? ? Right now we have a billion dollar bike path being built and our roads are like something off Moon Patrol!

glad you chimed in from a state that has legal weed. Here is my problem, our government does not know how to spend money properly. They built million dollar public toilets in Colorado with the weed tax money. So damn stupid. A billion dollar bike path?? WTH. How about helping people with medical bills, taking care of homeless people, etc. Also, Colorado has $24 billion dollars of debt. ?? Makes no damn sense. No matter what you legalize and tax they still going to spend it on stupid crap.
