Profit for individuals is not what the article is about. It's about State revenue being spent/made to support the pot business in the State. As far as people being off of unemployment having jobs now because of it, you're assuming that the people involved in the business were unemployed/on welfare prior to starting the new business.  I'd put money on the majority of them already having good paying jobs and money prior to opening up their new business. To know that though, one would have to research each business to find out the background of the owners.

Your comment has nothing in it but an emotional response that has nothing to do with the story. It also is not factual.
