Virtually all domestic sales of weed are grown in the US, and the "importers" of illegal weed don't usually volutarily pay taxes.

I can get pot cheaper from a dealer.

Maybe letting Big Pot write the legislation wasn't a good idea.

Sweeping tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday are set to increase prices of cannabis products in the country, as many firms rely on Asia for manufacturing. The latest levies will stack up on any duties imposed earlier on countries like China, Canada, Mexico and the EU.

Items such as tins, vape hardware and specialized glass remain difficult to source domestically, and companies remain largely dependent on Asia particularly China, analysts and executives said.

Most of these tariff costs will be passed to consumers. The higher costs will likely drive more consumers to the illicit market, further denting margins for legal cannabis firms.

"Most cannabis businesses don't have the margin flexibility to absorb a 10%-15% increase," said Mike Forenza, managing partner at AE Global, which makes packaging products for cannabis firms.

Things that help growers, however, are tariffed and will ultimately raise the price of the product.
