fool | Last year was another transformational year for the marijuana movement.
Beginning in 1996, California became the first state to legalize
marijuana for medical purposes. Today, there are 23 states with legal
medical marijuana programs in place, and there would have been 24 had
Florida's vote not come up 2% short of what was required to change its constitution in 2014.
Additionally, we've witnessed four states progressively leading the
way with the legalization of recreational marijuana. In 2012, Washington
and Colorado legalized the drug for adult use, while Alaska and Oregon
voters approved the measure just this past November.
How well are these dual legalizations working? That's been a
difficult question to answer because getting accurate data isn't easy.
However, a new report from the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division
helps to shed some light on the success and failures of the marijuana
market in Colorado following its first full year of sales.
Here are seven stunning figures that help sum up what recreational and medical marijuana legalization look like in Colorado.
