I didn't realize the taxes were going to be so high

We bought two joints that were $17 each and we also got a bag of gummy candies that were $18

My wife and I live in the Midwest, where corn and potatoes line the fields for miles and miles. We have a population of 344 in our little town and everyone knows each other. There is one diner and one barber shop. Both of us grew up in this small suburb and never dreamed of moving anywhere else. Still, neither one of us ever visited the Pacific coast. We decided to go to San Francisco for our honeymoon. We rented a house near the San Francisco Bay. It was more expensive than going to a place close to home, but it was a lot less money than traveling outside of the country for our honeymoon. I’ve always wanted to visit the state of California and I thought San Francisco was the perfect city to visit for the first time. My wife and I were excited to walk across the Golden Gate bridge and eat clam chowder at fisherman’s wharf. I was particularly intrigued by the legal cannabis laws. California is one of a handful of states in the union that allow adults to consume recreational cannabis. There are shops and businesses all over the state that sell cannabis supplies, including right in the city of San Francisco. I thought my wife would be annoyed when I mentioned trying cannabis, but she was totally down for the new experience. We went to a small pot shop near our rental. We bought two joints that were $17 each and we also got a bag of gummy candies that were $18. The total for our bill was close to $100. The taxes on our purchase were nearly 35%.
