Michigan House votes to massively increase cannabis taxes

The Michigan House of Representatives voted to add an oppressive new 24% wholesale tax to cannabis, which is already taxed at 16% at retail.

If you live in Michigan, tell your senator to oppose this outrageous and unfair tax.

Email and call your state senator, and engage with them on social media.

Cannabis consumers pay far more than their fair share already. The tax on beer and wine is a fraction of the tax on cannabis. Cannabis consumers shouldn’t be singled out to foot the bill for road repairs.

The revenue projections from the tax increase are a fantasy. Michigan sells more cannabis than any other state because of its reasonable prices. A huge portion of cannabis consumers come from other states for Michigan’s affordable cannabis. A massive tax increase will stop that. Michigan’s already-struggling cannabis industry will not be able to absorb this massive tax increase. Many businesses will shutter, and workers will lose their good-paying jobs.
