Denver officials to discuss spending pot taxes
Associated Press Updated: June 11, 2014 at 8:33 am

DENVER (AP) — Denver officials are talking about how to spent marijuana taxes.

The City Council's Government and Finance Committee is slated to discuss pot spending at its Wednesday morning meeting.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock has proposed spending $3.35 million in marijuana tax revenues on business regulation and public safety.

The mayor's plan includes about $746,000 on youth and public education about marijuana. That would include Denver's "Know The Law" campaign on responsible pot use.

Because every time I hear "youth" and "Public education about marijuana" in the same sentence I automatically think reefer madness.

Please don't lie to the children, Denver. It is VERY important that you don't.
