I would argue marijuana sales are essential. Not for the users necessarily but for the operations of the government itself. My state of Oregon just had its highest liquor sales ever in March. Recreational MJ sales haven't been released but are likely similar. The tax receipts from this will help offset the huge hit to income tax revenue that is coming and give the state government at least a chance to keep things running as this drags on.
