Action Needed to Remove the Tax on Medical Cannabis in Washington State


     SB 5234 reduces the tax on medical cannabis in Washington State from 37% to 0%. Yes, Washington is the only state that taxes medical cannabis. If you can help follow the instructions below and send an email to the Ways and Means committee to hold a hearing for SB 5234.

1.      send an email to the Senate Ways and Means members.  Send it to leadership first.  I am attaching the emails of the member-senators and their assistants below.
2.      Ask for what you want in no more than a couple of sentences.  The point is to get it on their radars.  Basically that and not much more.
If you are a residential or business constituent, please let them know.
3.      State what you want in the subject line:  give 5234 a hearing in Ways and Means
4.      Have it in their email boxes by first thing Monday morning.
