The CA Assembly is expected to vote on Asm. Wood's bill AB 2243 <br /> to impose a $9.25/ounce tax on cultivation of medical (only) marijuana in coming days. <br /> Now is the time to call on your Assembly member to oppose AB 2243. <br /> The bill is both ill-advised and premature. This November, Californians will be voting on <br /> AUMA, which would tax marijuana for BOTH adult and medical use along similar lines as AB <br /> 2243. <br /> If Californians approve AUMA, AB 2243 is moot. <br /> If not, AB 2243 will leave California with an unsustainably high tax on medical-only marijuana. <br /> The proposed tax amounts to some 10% above and beyond existing local and sales taxes. <br /> This is unreasonably high for many medically needy patients. Medical providers already face <br /> burdensome new costs and regulations under MMRSA; additional taxes will further discourage <br /> compliance and encourage diversion to the illicit, unregulated adult-use market. <br /> • <br /> Tell your legislator to oppose AB 2243 - NO TAXATION WITHOUT LEGALIZATION.. <br /> WHO TO CONTACT: <br /> Residents of the following key districts are especially encouraged to call on their Assembly <br /> member to oppose AB 2243. Phone calls to both their Sacramento and district offices would be <br /> helpful. For a list of office phone numbers, see http://assembly.ca.gov/assemblymembers <br /> Key Legislators: <br /> Cheryl Brown (San Bernardino) <br />
