CannabisNewsBreaks – Complex Regulations, City Bans & High Taxes Restrict California’s Legal Cannabis Market

Company: California’s Cannabis Market
Category: News

A recent article authored by Patrick McGreevy and published by the Los Angeles Times, titled ‘One year of legal pot sales and California doesn’t have the bustling industry it expected. Here’s why’ shines a light on the negative impact complex regulations, city bans and high taxes have had on California’s legal cannabis market. The article discusses several hurdles that legal cannabis businesses have had to jump through in order to operate within the state. One such obstacle plaguing small cannabis companies is the competition from the large illicit market, which isn’t hampered by the high taxes licensed businesses must pay. “Because we are up against high taxes and the proliferation of illegal shops, it is difficult right now,” Javier Montes, owner of Wilmington pot store Delta-9 THC stated in the article. “We expected lines out of our doors, but unfortunately the underground market was already conducting commercial cannabis activity and are continuing to do so.”
