Issue Position: Legalize Cannabis and Hemp to Help Fund Schools and Roads

Issue Position

Funding education in Kansas is in dire straits and of utmost importance. Instead of increasing the income tax of hard working Kansans, raising revenue from an immediate cash infusion the state currently does not have would relieve overburdening government debt. In 2016, cannabis tax revenue totaled $256 million in Washington and $200 million in Colorado. Forbes reported "more than 25,000 products can be made from hemp." It's time to legalize cannabis and hemp to fund schools and roads.
