Colorado Weed Revenue to be Used for Building Schools After Ohio Marijuana Election Results?

Ohio may have decided against the legalization of weed (for now), but Colorado is pushing forward! It looks as if those denizens in the Centennial State who were initially annoyed by the statewide legalization of marijuana vote might find themselves even more irked when their future children's schools are built using the revenue from selling legal weed. Yes, that's right, Colorado is officially allowing the revenue made from selling pot to be used to build up the public infrastructure, including schools.

BAD JOKE ALERT! Looks like "high" school just got a whole new meaning.

Okay, we're done...

The Denver Post reports that the news follows Tuesday's election on tax revenue. Voters – a lot of them, apparently – came out to vote yes on the state's proposal to use tens of millions of dollars of the revenue brought in by the legal sale of marijuana.

It appears that the vote caused a bit of confusion, as the state had severely miscalculated the immense amount of income that would come from selling pot legally in their state. Over time, lawmakers found themselves with a hefty sum of money that, frankly, they had no clue what to do with. Mic reports that both sides of the state government "panicked" at the thought of possibly being forced to refund the money to taxpayers.

"...fortunately for them the new ballot measure securing the money for their use has passed with ease," the report states.

So, in conclusion, voters in Colorado united to agree to let the state hold onto the excess proceeds from the sale of pot.

Because. America. Loves. Weed.

Of course, with the exception of Ohio. Again, for now...
