Where all the tax money from recreational marijuana will go? – Crain’s

Under the long-awaited legalization bill unveiled May 7, just 35 percent of cannabis taxes will go to the state's general fund, and 10 percent will go to a separate budget stabilization fund. Another 25 percent will go to a grant program that aims to help communities hit hard by poverty, violence and the war on drugs; and 20 percent will go to mental health and substance-abuse treatment. The other 10 percent goes to law enforcement and drug-treatment education. Roughly $500M in revenue is projected.
