// Definition
The political argument that cannabis tax revenue, demonstrated by states like Colorado generating over a billion dollars, would ultimately force federal legalization because politicians cannot resist the financial incentive when the drug war costs enormous sums with no return.
// From the Episode
Panelists discussed how the governor of Colorado stood up to Jeff Sessions arguing against losing a billion dollars in revenue. With 29-30 states medical plus DC, and Mexico/Canada flanking the US with federal medical systems, the revenue argument was seen as the unstoppable force that would flip federal prohibition.
