Which States Have the Highest Marijuana Sales Tax?

However, we can’t do much since the state determines how much taxes we pay with each pre-roll, flower, or edible that we buy at dispensaries. States determine the tax frameworks in their area, which may sometimes be offset by retailers thus a price increase or the consumers pay for it directly. This is also why there is such a varied tax framework in each state, and some are notoriously so much higher than others. For example, in Washington the current sales tax is 37%, while in Oregon it’s 17%. However, the average is around 15%.
