Sounds like Whitmer is saying that marijuana is an astonishingly tax lucrative industry when handled correctly.
Then again probably not that surprising seeing how alcohol taxes were a primary stream of revenue for the US government up until prohibition, when the progressive income tax was literally invented by the prohibitionists to forcefully ween the government off alcohol tax revenues so they could ban the stuff.
When you're so single issue the fact that you reformed a major segment of how society operates is literally a side note to what you're tunnel visioned on.
I remain incredibly envious of the decrim in USA of weed. I was lucky enough to visit Seattle in '19, I was like Charlie in the chocolate factory when I visited a dispensary!
Man, most of the potheads I know would laugh at that amount of weed in only a month. I used to know a guy that would kill a pound of weed in two weeks. Mids, tbh, but still.

OK, first of all, 2500 bucks is 8-12 ounces of top shelf around here. Mids is gonna be half that, so 2500 bucks is near the upper limit of plausibility for how much a person can smoke in a month, even by your own far-fetched numbers. That's a pound and a half of mids.
Secondly, MOST of the potheads you know smoke that much? No they don't.
Man nobody here cares if you smoke sufficient amounts of weed. It doesn't make you cooler. You don't have to make shit up.
And I specified I knew a guy that smoked that heavy. Dude smoked weed like cigarettes, sometimes chain smoking joints and blunts.
I know potheads that spend more on weed than they do on housing/rent. Shit, my cousin kills an ounce in a week at roughly 120 an ounce, which is about the same as my mortgage.
I don't know why you're beefing on this. I'm just here you enjoy some memes, have some friendly conversation with folks, and chill. That's my agenda, nothing else. We good, or are you on some kind of crusade here?
