I can only imagine how Louisiana would frick it up if even Colorado hasn't figured out how to actually apply that to fixing roads or real education needs.
If you spent only a few minutes looking into the disposition of CO's marijuana tax revenue and how it is dispersed, you would quickly see how incorrect your statement is.

My friend is a pediatrician in Colorado and he can always tell which mothers smoked marijuana when pregnant because their kids have brain diseases like add and assburgers

I have. I'm not saying it is a negative, but most of what is dispersed is being used to combat, control, and in some cases prosecute within the marijuana industry.
It is a great vice tax generator, but in reality the profits generated aren't even close to a fix for Colorado's budget issues. The situation would only become worse if more states legalize. As I said, in Louisiana it would be far from any kind of fix. Even with a budget shortfall of close to a billion here, the taxes brought in would just be used to expand budgets for the entities used to control the new industry.
