WA state taxes the fuck out of weed, and I can go buy an eighth for under $20 if I'm not too picky, and there is outstanding weed in the $30-35 range.
Across the border in Oregon, oddly enough legal prices are almost identical despite a much friendlier tax structure.
I'm originally from Oregon, so I can understand the difference. Oregon doesn't really do sales tax. Taxes are mostly from property and income there. Of course Washington would throw a higher sales tax on anything that can be taxed.
The difference between Oregon and Washington is 17% vs 37% based on retail sale amount. I'm not sure if they tack sales tax on top of that. The tax is just rolled into the price.
ETA - yeah I know all about the difference, I'm in the unenviable position of paying income tax to Oregon and property and sales tax to Washington (though I do what shopping I can in Oregon since its so close).
