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.
