Hot Recreation Companies For 2014

Dude, these tax-revenue figures are really harshing my mellow.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) It's been just three months since marijuana was legalized in Colorado, but economists don't think the state will raise as much in taxes as was hoped.

They had expected to raise $22.7 million before July from special sales taxes on recreational marijuana, but state economist Larson Silbaugh is skeptical.

About $3.4 million was raised in January and February, the only months for which sales have been reported so far.

"If current tax revenues keep coming in at the same pace, we won't meet that expectation," Silbaugh said.

Economists have also lowered the forecast for the full fiscal year ending in June 2015 to $54.7 million from $67 million.

However, consumer spending continues to improve and the hopes of a decent Christmas shopping season and strong 2014 could bode well for Callaway.
