The generated tax from marijuana in Colorado could be massive according to a recent NBC survey. NBC spoke to 18 of the 35 currently licensed recreational marijuana retailers in Colorado and concluded that those surveyed yielded $1.24 million in taxes for the month of January 2014. Some of those establishments had only sold marijuana for four days.
