Cannabis Taxes in Long Beach
Every sale includes California's 15% cannabis excise tax, plus sales tax. Long Beach also taxes adult-use retailers on their gross receipts: the city lowered that rate from 8% to 7% in April 2024 and offers a further credit to stores in good standing. The city tax is charged to the business, and stores set their prices to cover it. Medical patients with a state MMIC card pay no sales tax on medicinal cannabis. See our cannabis prices by state report for how California compares.
Medical Marijuana in Long Beach
33 of the Long Beach stores on this page are licensed for medicinal sales and show a Medical badge. Patients 18 and older need a California physician's recommendation, which also lets them buy more than the adult-use limit. Showing a state Medical Marijuana Identification Card and ID removes sales tax, but not the excise tax.
