LOL!!! Let me get this straight: So, the county is going to use tax revenue from a drug to fund a youth anti-drug program.
You just can’t make this stuff up! LOL!!!!!

Such irony. Create a major problem and then apply a minor ineffective "fix" by creating another government bureaucracy.
Once drugs are "legalized" you cannot undo that later on. Prohibition showed us that.

Is the irony missed here? Seriously? Let's use money from the sale of drugs to finance a drug prevention program. Just smacking my head.

What is the big deal here? Taxes from tobacco sales are used towards anti-smoking education. No difference.

A questionable use of tax revenue and besides, marijuana is legal for both recreational and for medicinal use.
I don't have a problem with kids smoking pot providing it is under parental supervision or approval. It's probably less dangerous than alcohol.

$200K will not go very far...maybe just enough to produce a video presentation and some leaflets.
