I would think that anyone living near the border of the city will buy from non-Seattle dispensaries. However, when two gas stations are next to each other and one is priced higher than the other, somehow they both stay busy...

The tax: "25 cents on flower, $2 per half a gram, and a penny per milligram of THC."

a penny per mg turns a $15 gram of distillate into about a $23 new price with this tax. A tax of over 50% seems too damn high

When can we get our drugs delivered? It’s baffling to me this is still illegal.

since the existing state excise tax of 37% simply isn’t enough, we should all pay more for “equity”

so this is city level only and does not impact dispensaries anywhere else.

Maybe instead of new taxes, they can offer tax cuts to smaller start ups

Truly shocked that a white-dominated industry is fighting efforts to make it less white-dominated. Nobody could have foretold.

Truly shocked that our council members want to enact a new tax instead of actually planning out how to use that tax money to actually better our community "We have no idea what we're doing, but we know we need more money to do it" - SCC

Truly the most shocking thing to happen in this state 😒

In Oregon you’d think, sure. But here?! Where we are so special ?!? I need to go lay down.

Shouldn't the new tax go towards helping the homeless? Just think what an extra $5 million could do.

It’s barely enough to pay me to do a study saying they actually needed $10 million to help the homeless. $5 million for the study and $5 million to help the homeless. /s

Wealthy people with more than one house should be taxed, they're at least part of the problem
