marijuana taxation

Marijuana taxation involves taxing the sale of cannabis products to generate revenue and regulate the market. Typically, governments impose taxes at various stages—such as cultivation, distribution, and retail—that increase the final consumer price. These taxes can be a percentage of the sale price or a fixed amount per unit. The goal is to fund public programs, reduce illegal sales, and control consumption. Different regions have different tax rates and structures, often balancing revenue generation with public health considerations. Overall, marijuana taxes aim to create a legal, regulated market that benefits society economically and health-wise.
