legalization revenue
Legalization revenue refers to the income generated by governments when they allow activities such as the sale of previously illegal substances, like cannabis. This revenue comes from taxes, licensing fees, and permits issued to businesses operating legally. It helps fund public services like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Essentially, when an activity is legalized and regulated, it creates a new, legitimate flow of income for the government, replacing illegal markets and ensuring the activity is monitored for safety and compliance.
