• How is it going to be taxed?

  Effective July 1, 2015, tax reforms defined in HB 2136 change the existing marijuana excise tax structure. A 37 percent marijuana excise tax must now be collected exclusively at the retail level. In addition, B&O taxes on the production and local retail sales taxes apply.

• Is cannabis addictive?

  Not for most people, according to the UW Institute. It doesn’t take priority over responsibilities at home, school, work or with friends. For some, though, cannabis use looks a lot like addiction. They want to cut back or quit, but they don’t follow through. Important things, such as friendships, are sacrificed so they can get high. Some scientists estimate that 9 percent, or 1-in-11 cannabis smokers, develops the symptoms of addiction. To avoid such problems, the UW Institute advises getting high once a week or less.

• Is driving while high dangerous?

  Yes. Driving high increases the risk of accidents, and is illegal. Driving high can cause impairment, such as slower reaction time and divided attention, or distraction. If you must drive, give yourself three or four hours if you’ve inhaled cannabis. If you’ve ingested an edible, the safety margin needs to be hours longer. You may receive a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) citation if you are pulled over and the officer suspects you have been smoking or consuming marijuana products.
