ABOUT THE "REGULATE, CONTROL AND TAX CANNABIS ACT OF 2010
YAK edibles supports the "The Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010"
This California bill would control and tax cannabis in California and could generate $1.4 Billion in revenue per year in taxes. These funds could go towards jobs, public safety, healthcare, parks, roads, transportation and more. Controlling and taxing cannabis would save the state over $200 million that would have been spent on arrests, prosecutions, and prison for non-violent cannabis consumers, according to estimates by NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.) Furthermore this could generate an additional $12 -18 billion a year for California economy from spin-off industries like coffeehouses and tourism. More importantly, controlling and taxing cannabis will weaken the Mexican drug cartels, and enable police to focus on violent criminals, and replace dangerous street matter with safe, regulated cannabis sales outlets, putting street dealers and drug cartels out of business.
