While it may not help the Democratic voting bloc, it will certainly give a helping hand to American citizens in need. Or here’s a more local solution: Use the Nevada rainy day fund filled with marijuana tax collections that are sitting somewhere collecting dust.

There you have it. Two revenue streams. Now all we need is for politicians to make it happen.
