Why do you care so much?

So the proponents of recreational pot shouldn't be falsely portraying it as some huge windfall. Do we need a connect the dots picture for you?

No one in this thread has tried to claim that pot will single-handedly float the education budget. You came in swinging at air, quoting the wrong numbers, and then moving the goal-posts when others pointed out the error. Everyone else was just impressed that the state invested no money and got a decent chunk of change. Many have suggested that black market marijuana will still be more prolific due to the avoidance of taxes, but this revenue shows people are willing to pay a little more for convenience. Any way you slice it, getting 19M in tax revenue for simply signing a piece of paper is a good deal for the state.

It's like you had a huge heated argument over this somewhere else and are now trying to vent over it here.
