The Oakland Tax is expected to raise the city $1 million annually. In these times that may not seem like a lot but every bit helps. There is talk the state may add a tax that would raise $1 billion annually. LA is considering a tax too and considering there are more marijuana dispensaries than there are Starbuck's or McDonald's in LA they should go for it. The dispensaries are happy to pay the tax as it legitimizes them and they will of course pass the tax on to the consumer.
