Currently, many counties and cities that put an extra tax on cannabis revenues include the state's 15% excise tax on cannabis products as part of total revenues, in effect taxing them a second time. SB 512 would stop compounding taxes on top of taxes by specifying that local cannabis revenue taxes not add the state excise tax in the tax base. These tax savings would be passed onto cannabis consumers, and help keep retailers where safe, tested products are available open for business, contributing to the state and local tax base in a more fair and effective manner. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/sb-512
