🚨 Attention Michigan Cannabis Consumers: A 24% Tax Hike Could Be Coming 🚨
The Michigan House and Governor have just approved HB4951, a bill that includes a 24% wholesale tax increase on cannabis. This bill now heads to the State Senate for a final vote on Tuesday, September 30 — and it will directly affect YOU.
Here's what it means for Michigan consumers like you:
💸 Prices Will Go Up — A Lot
This massive new tax will force dispensaries to raise prices across the board. Cannabis will become significantly more expensive for patients and adult-use consumers.
🛑 Fewer Options, Fewer Stores
Many small businesses simply won’t survive a tax hike this steep. You could see your favorite local dispensary close its doors — reducing access, variety, and convenience.
🚫 Job Losses in Our Communities
As businesses struggle to stay open, layoffs will follow. Thousands of jobs across Michigan’s cannabis industry are at risk.
📉 Less Revenue, Not More
Instead of helping the state, this tax could backfire. Higher prices will drive people back to the illicit market — where products aren’t tested or regulated — and that means less tax revenue, not more.
📍 Michigan Falls Behind
This tax would make Michigan the second highest taxed cannabis market in the country. We’ll lose sales to nearby states with lower taxes — hurting our economy and our progress.
