The California City That's Making It Cheaper To Buy Marijuana
Just six weeks after legalizing recreational marijuana, one California city is slashing its cannabis tax rate. The city of Berkeley is cutting its pot tax from 10% to 5% in an effort to attract and retain businesses in the area.
Greg Zeman, Associate Editor at Cannabis Now, explains the significance of Berkeley's decision. The tax cut could push other pot-friendly cities in the area to cut marijuana tax rates as well.
In Canada, the timeline for legalizing recreational marijuana is being bumped back by at least a month. The news caused Canadian marijuana stocks to drop.
The country’s largest Christian university is being fined $37.7 million by the federal government amid accusations that it misled students about the cost of its graduate programs.
Stocks fell in the opening session Tuesday as earnings reports continued to pour in and as investors brace for the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision on Wednesday.
