Cannabis Tax Rates in Oregon
This state has legalized both recreational and medical cannabis.
Tax Rate Breakdown
Overview
Oregon benefits from being one of only five states without a general sales tax, so cannabis consumers pay only the cannabis-specific excise tax. The state imposes a 17% excise tax on recreational cannabis sales, and local jurisdictions may opt to add up to 3% in local taxes, bringing the maximum rate to 20%. Medical cannabis cardholders are fully exempt from all cannabis taxes. Oregon's relatively lower tax rates, combined with its mature cultivation market, have contributed to some of the lowest retail cannabis prices in the nation.
