According to the Denver Post, in 2010 medical-marijuana dispensaries put hundreds of thousands of dollars a month into state and city treasuries in Colorado. The state has collected more than $2.2 million in sales tax from dispensaries. In Denver, which has more dispensaries than any other city in Colorado, the businesses have also paid more than $2.2 million this year in local sales tax.

In the vast scheme of things that is not a huge amount, but money strapped Colorado needs every penny it can get.
