cannabis taxation policies

Cannabis taxation policies involve taxing legal sales of marijuana to generate revenue and regulate the market. Governments set taxes on cannabis products—such as a fixed amount per ounce or a percentage of the price—to control consumption and fund public services like health, education, and law enforcement. These taxes can vary by state or country, impacting the final price for consumers. Proper taxation aims to balance public health concerns while discouraging illegal sales, ensuring legal businesses contribute fairly, and maximizing revenue for community benefits.
