The Ketchikan Daily News reports the city’s Marijuana Advisory Committee will meet Monday to consider the $10-per-ounce excise tax on marijuana.
Under the proposal brought forward by Ralph Mirsky, marijuana tax revenue in Ketchikan would fund travel for student extracurricular activities as well as substance abuse education. The proposal would also have state marijuana tax revenue put to similar uses.
Voters approved a $50 state excise tax to legalize marijuana in 2014. Marijuana will be sold at retail stores in 2016.
