Colorado sold a record $1.75 billion worth of marijuana in 2019.

The Colorado cannabis market has grown 13 percent since 2018, producing over $302 million in tax revenue for the state.

Marijuana tax revenue finances programs like school construction, public health, law enforcement and drug education, according to Instant.
