It has now been two years since retail sales of recreational marijuana began in Oregon, and now, the first tax revenues are being distributed.
Between January of 2016 and August of 2017, the state collected $94 million in marijuana taxes, with the biggest percentages going to state school funds.
KBOI-2-TV reports, the rest of the money is being distributed to mental health and drug services, Oregon State Police, Oregon Health Authority and individual cities and counties.
According to the Oregon Department of Revenue, most of the funds were distributed last week, and all cities should see final distribution by tomorrow.
