We will know more tomorrow. The Feds are having a press conference tomorrow spelling out exactly what their latest plans are for cracking down on Medical Marijuana. This comes on the eve of probable full legalization in California's next election. The IRS's new agenda is to dissallow standard business deductions for dispensaries (payroll, rent, electricity, etc...). Steve DeAngelo, owner of Harborside, is being told he owes MILLIONS of dollars is taxes because of this bullshit. They took his tax payments without question. NOW, they're claiming that you can't write off business costs to distribute a controlled substance. So, basically, they want him to pay taxes on his total gross sales. No business could ever survive that kind of taxation.
As far as vending goes, it's not safe right now. A couple years ago the feds were on a similar rampage. They staked out dispensaries and busted all of the vendors showing up with their little backpacks full of meds. It's best to show up without your LB and check out the place first. Then, go get your product and make the sale.
We'll be watching this latest insanity really close. Keep on posting any updates on the sittuation that are beyond the typical Associated Press Releases.
Bottom line? FUCK.
