Since the legalization of marijuana in Colorado in 2012, legal cannabis in the Centennial State has generated over $7.8 billion in sales. Think about that number for a moment.

Cannabis Business In Colorado

That translates to $1.2 billion in tax revenues and licensing fees from cannabis businesses across Colorado that have gone to help fund local and state government. And again, that’s just in Colorado.

Those numbers don’t include revenue from the myriad of supply chain operators, from cultivators to processors, manufacturers to distributors, as well as ancillary service providers, like the Hoban Law Group. All together there are nearly 3,000 cannabusinesses employing 39,000 people here in Colorado.

Suffice it to say, for a plant that was sprung from night into the sun, this is a success story that is still being written.
