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

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.
