ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The tax rate is too high — that is what the Alaska marijuana industry is saying about the state’s current tax rate on marijuana.

“Alaska has, by some estimates, the highest tax rate for marijuana of any legal state right now,” Haynes said. Cultivators here can be taxed as high as $50 per ounce when selling marijuana to a retailer. Haynes said a pound of marijuana can sell for between $1,500 to $3,200 a pound.During a recent House Labor & Commerce Committee meeting, legislative aide Cody Rice said House Bill 119 proposes changing the state’s marijuana tax to $12.

Those same concerns were shared by Brandon Emmett, a representative of Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s Marijuana Tax Task Force, at the House Labor & Commerce Committee.
