"High" Demand



As the chart above shows, there is high demand for marijuana. The demand is evidenced by the amount of dispensaries (weed clinics) that have popped up in California. Los Angeles alone has more dispensaries than Starbucks'.

What does growing acceptance and high demand for marijuana mean for California?
Lots of tax revenue, if it actually gets legalized. California Assemblyman, Tony Ammiano says it would bring in $1.4 billion dollars in taxes. Not to mention the money it would save from excessive preventative enforcement and the countless jobs it would create.
