TELL SACRAMENTO: FREEZE THE TAX

Do you want to pay 25% more in taxes on safe and regulated cannabis products?

California's state government is scheduled to raise the cannabis excise tax on July 1st (from 15% to 19%), leaving cannabis consumers and patients holding the bill at a time when many are struggling with cost-of-living challenges.

This fight is far from over. The state budget must be approved by June 15th, so urge your state legislators to freeze the tax TODAY.
