Massachusetts Now Makes More Tax Revenue from Weed than Alcohol, So Why are Some Politicians Still Against Legalization?

The government of Massachusetts has revealed that it is generating more tax revenues from its marijuana industry than its alcohol sector. The state disclosed that it made $74 million in the 2020–2021 fiscal year, whereas the alcohol industry brought in less than $55 million for the entire year. Note that these revenues do not include the sales tax; they are generated from excise taxes on the products.
