Cannabis Taxes in Eureka
Every purchase includes California's 15% cannabis excise tax plus state and local sales tax. Humboldt County's well-known Measure S tax applies to cultivation, not to store purchases. We could not verify a City of Eureka cannabis tax on retail sales from an official source, so we do not list one; local taxes vary, and your receipt shows them. Compare prices in our cannabis prices by state report.
Medical Marijuana in Eureka
10 Eureka licenses include medicinal sales and carry a Medical badge. Patients 18 and older need a California physician's recommendation, and a state Medical Marijuana Identification Card removes sales tax, but not the excise tax.
