You need to evaluate that 'enormous' Marijuana statement.

OLCC, with a 25% tax rate on Marijuaana still only took in $60 million last year.  $24 million of which had to go to the schools.

The Oregon excise tax on liquor is $22.72 per gallon, one of the highest liquor taxes in the country. Oregon's excise tax on Spirits is ranked #2 out of the 50 states.  

Oregon got $1.16 Billion in tax money from hard liquor last biennium!   That's with a "B".

Even after their 'expenses',  They still distributed $445.8 Million---- Almost Eight (8) times what Marijuana made!  

And with the schools getting first cut, the rest of the money ($36 million)  is chump change compared to the hard booze people.  And that doesn't even count the beer and wine tax money OLCC collects and passes out.

The stoners are not the answer to your money prayers!
