LANSING, Mich. (WNEM) – A Michigan lawmaker wants to repeal the state’s new marijuana tax.
State Sen. Jonathan Lindsey introduced legislation to eliminate the 24% whole sale tax on marijuana that was created during budget negotiations in 2025.
The tax is meant to be a way to fund road repairs in Michigan, but has gotten a lot of pushback from critics.
The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Government Operations.
