Why is my medical tax higher?
To comply with current state tax regulations, you must have an MMIC card in order to be exempt from Sales Tax.
GOOD NEWS is - with a doctor’s recommendation,
you will get 1% off City Tax and you will still have the increased Medical purchase limits!

Taxes are not included in pricing.
We understand that taxes are a tough subject since it is so high (not in a good way) in the cannabis industry. Some retailers include all the taxes into the list price, some retailers only include some taxes in the list price, some retailers discount some taxes randomly, and some completely separate the taxes all together. At the end of the day, every single licensed retailer must pay these taxes one way or another.
We made the decision to separate all taxes so it is clear where your money is going.
Here is the breakdown -
State Cannabis Excise Tax - 15%
Local Cannabis Tax - 6%
Local Sales Tax - 10.25%
Due to California Policy of Cumulative Taxes - TOTAL Tax will be 34.4%
If you have a Medical Marijuna Identification Card (MMIC), you will NOT be charged Sales Tax & you will have a reduced Local Cannabis Tax of 5%. Your new Total Tax will be 20.75%
Since we are based out of Culver City, you are saving 4% on the Local Cannabis Tax. Most other counties have a tax rate of up to 10%.
