Marijuana tax refers to the government-imposed charges on the sale of cannabis products. These taxes can be levied at various stages, such as when cannabis is cultivated, processed, or sold retail. The purpose is to generate revenue, regulate consumption, and fund public programs like healthcare or education. Tax rates vary depending on local laws and can be a fixed amount per unit, a percentage of the price, or a combination. Properly managed, marijuana taxes help ensure safe access while contributing to community and public health initiatives.
