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.

I agree with this, there are too many great reasons it should be legalized, pitching the idea that it will increase funding for education is dumb.
I get annoyed with those over dramatic lottery commercials, as if the percentage they give to a faulty education system actually does something.

There many reason for marijuana legalization better than the tired old "think of the schools" bit.
And I fail to see how smoking pot is anymore of a "sin" than drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, gambling, etc.
