🌲 Why Do Cannabis Shops in Washington Charge So Much?

1️⃣ Taxes on Taxes – Washington has one of the highest cannabis excise taxes in the U.S. (37% excise + sales tax). That stacks up quick at checkout.

2️⃣ Regulations & Licensing Costs – Dispensaries pay heavy fees for licenses, compliance, testing, and security. All of that overhead gets passed down.

3️⃣ Limited Market Structure – Washington doesn’t allow vertical integration (growers can’t own retail). So, products move through multiple hands before reaching the shelf, which inflates prices.

4️⃣ Market Saturation + Branding – With so many brands fighting for attention, top-shelf flower, rosin, and hash come with a premium.

5️⃣ Location & Demand – In city hotspots, prices are even higher because shops know the traffic is steady.

💡 Bottom line: It’s not just the weed — it’s the taxes, structure, and system costs baked into every jar.
