Bill under consideration would increase tax on high-potency cannabis in Washington

A new state House bill under consideration in Olympia would significantly increase the tax on marijuana products, depending on the concentrations of THC.

The creators of HB 1641 say they are attempting to address the public health challenges of high-potency cannabis. The bill's summary states that the cannabis excise tax would be restructured into three tax rates based on product type and THC concentration.

The original market would welcome those customers with open arms. My home state of NY has that stupid THC % tax. It's pure greed/another way to nickel and dime people.

They want more people on "blues" and tranq dope instead, obviously. Especially young people.

Viva la black market!
