What point are you trying to make?

It's not that hard to follow. This pot money is being sold as some huge boon to Colorado's education system. It won't be.

Selling the idea of recreational pot should be about the merits of the idea. The revenue to education isn't a good argument.

This happened many moons ago with the lottery. The lottery was going to save education. It hasn't. Pitching sin taxes as a reason to legalize the activity is a useful argument for gaining votes and really doesn't change much.
