Trump’s New Tariffs Could Make Cannabis Products More Expensive — Here’s Why
In a move that’s already shaking up multiple industries, former President Donald Trump has introduced a wave of new tariffs on products imported from Asia — particularly China. Among the industries feeling the heat? The cannabis and hemp market.
What the Tariffs Mean
These tariffs target a wide range of imports, including electronics, packaging materials, and extraction equipment — all of which are heavily used in the production and distribution of cannabis and hemp-derived goods.
According to Reuters, cannabis companies that depend on Asian manufacturing for vape cartridges, grow lights, and extraction gear may now face significantly higher costs. And when costs go up? Consumers feel it in their wallets.
How Surgeons Is Responding
At Surgeons, LLC, we’ve built our brand around domestic, lab-tested cannabinoid-enriched goods — meaning our supply chain is less vulnerable to international tariffs. While the broader industry braces for price hikes, our commitment to locally sourced ingredients means you can still get:
- 850mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil
- CBD + CBN Gummies – Chill Formula
- THCV Slims – Energy & Weight Support
- Triple Stack Oil (CBD + CBN + CBG)
...all at the same prices our customers trust — no surprises.
The Bigger Picture for Cannabis
With the cannabis industry still federally restricted and banks hesitant to work with cannabis companies, every dollar counts. Add in tariffs on manufacturing parts and materials, and smaller brands relying on affordable overseas production could be hit hardest.
Consumers Will Pay the Price
Tariffs don’t just affect growers and manufacturers — they ripple outward to retailers and, ultimately, to customers. Expect to see a rise in prices for:
- Vape pens and cartridges
- Glass pipes and accessories
- CBD topicals and wellness supplements with imported ingredients
This could push consumers toward companies that offer transparent sourcing and tariff-resilient pricing models — like Surgeons, LLC.
