It’s easier to order from the marijuana dispensary when all of the prices include taxes.
Taxes on marijuana are actually quite extravagant.
You have to pay multiple sales taxes on the product. There is a state tax, city tax, and an excise tax. All of these taxes total around 35% in most areas around the state. When I am trying to purchase marijuana products, it’s hard to figure out 35% sales tax on something that is $28. If I had a calculator it would be easier and if I didn’t smoke as much marijuana it would probably be easier too. Still, it’s much easier to shop when I can see the prices of the products including the taxes. A new marijuana dispensary near me opened up in the fall and all of their products are shown with the taxes included. The place has a huge selection of cannabis flower and concentrates. I was so happy to get a new place and new products, but I also like the fact that they include the price plus tax. In the store, every item and the price is clearly displayed. They also include the taxes on all of the products on their website. I can shop around for concentrates, dried marijuana flower, edibles, and tinctures and I’m not going to be surprised at the end of my shopping by $100 in extra taxes that I was not expecting. I know that it makes the product price a little bit higher when you include taxes, but there are many other consumers just like me that would rather see the total price.
