S64 in the News: Denver report finds marijuana legalization did not impact crime

Strategies 64 partner Mason Tvert appeared in Fox Denver’s coverage of the City and County of Denver’s latest annual report on marijuana in the city. His comments were also included in Benzinga’s coverage of the report. Watch the Fox video below.

Industry spokesperson Mason Tvert, a noted leader of initiatives that legalized marijuana, told FOX31 that revenues have declined since the high-demand phase of the coronavirus pandemic.

“It is a very difficult time for the legal cannabis industry,” he said.

Tvert said a solution to excessive supply is necessary and the industry must be supported as it continues to bolster efforts to address needs in the community.

“They want to pay taxes and they want to be regulated and treated like other businesses, but they cannot survive if we continue to overtax and overregulate,” Tvert said.
