Is using marijuana considered substance abuse? Maybe in some places. But if you use legal marijuana, you might be able to help fight substance abuse. Several states use marijuana tax revenue to fund state-sponsored drug treatment and education programs. These drug treatment funding measures, which are typically included in state marijuana legislation, are becoming more common as states rake in billions of dollars in tax revenue each year from legal cannabis sales.
