He points to expectations that legal marijuana use is expected to generate $134 million in tax revenue for the upcoming fiscal year in Colorado, the first state to allow recreational marijuana.

Harrison also cites the expected decline in crime rates and prison populations as powerful incentives to decriminalize marijuana.
