As of October 2018, legal cannabis retailers had distributed nearly $6 billion worth of cannabis and the state collected $883,885,907 in cannabis tax revenues.

In Denver alone, cannabis taxes have created $12.8 million in education funding. This has led to eight different youth diversion programs, training programs in 15 different Denver public schools, and the “High Costs” youth education and prevention campaign that encourages educated decisions and accurate, peer-to-peer conversations.
