Legal sales boomed; the revenue split got rewritten.
C · 15/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Legalize, tax, and fund equity.
2 · The realist counter-case
Critics worry about diversion and youth use.
3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
$115.5M sales / $62M excise in year one, but SB56 rewrote the split toward the general fund, paring equity.
4 · Liberty check
Expands adult liberty; legislature reallocated the proceeds.
5 · The real tradeoff
Market works; promises get edited post-vote.
