GUIDE: Cannabis Taxation
LET'S GET INTO IT.
Cannabis taxes are calculated at checkout. Please note that cannabis taxes in the state of California is compound. As a result, the tax rates are so high that cannabis customers end up shopping at unlicensed dispensaries to get a better deal. The problem is that there is no way to ensure the products you buy are lab-tested or regulated by the government.
ASHE Society does not make money by charging taxes. Every penny we collect in taxes is handed over to the government because that's how taxes work. If you want to see lower cannabis taxes? Call the Governor's office at (916) 445-2841 or contact your local city officials.
HOW MUCH IS TAXES?
More than we would like you to. After you receive the subtotal for the cannabis products that you choose to purchase, you will need to pay three different tax rates including city tax, sales tax, and excise tax.
If you are shopping in the City of Santa Ana, this is what you would see on your final receipt:

If your payment is not cash, you will be subject to credit or debit card processing fees that are collected by the financial institution. ASHE Society also does not make any money from these fees. We offer these payment methods as a convenience to the customer only.
