Dispensary in the City charge me 26% tax when it’s supposed to be 13% tax

this past Sunday, I went to downtown Manhattan. I bought an eighth of a major strain JFK it was on sale for $25 and change they charge me two times the amount of tax which was 26% instead of the state mandated 13% is this legal it’s a question I had & I’ve been thinking about it pretty much all week the guy in The Store, who was the manager told me that that’s it. It’s fucked up or something like that. I forgot exactly what he said.

something tells me this isn’t correct in The Store one of the double up on the tax since the item was on sale from its original price and it was going to expire sometime in June
