i just got back from my favorite cannabis club. i have some extra meds to vend. she was interested so i will go back monday and show her what i have. the things is, some things have changed. we are now required to fill out paperwork. paperwork as in a 1099 form. that's a tax form. if i take them any meds i have to fill out this form then i will be paid by check. at the end of the year i will have to file this as income with the state AND FEDERAL government. i'm not sure what to do. i want to pay my taxes but the fear of the feds lingers. she also said that all the clubs have recently received letters from the feds stating to either close there doors or their property will be seized. so i'm not quite sure what to do. i would love to share my meds with them. they have always been very kind to me and their cliental is the type i prefer to work with. they have been paying state taxes since last year but never federal. she says that California needs to stand up and fight for cannabis rights. it appears there is a storm on the horizon.

I understand the federal fear, but didn't you have to register to begin with? Don't they already know? If you bail on taxes it could be really bad news...it might be the feds new way of "intimidating" people, or worse busting them.

i.e. dude gets busted says I have a liscense for that, the man says yeah but you are getting arrested for tax reasons not marijuana. If I was you I would pay it, nothing worse than some tax problems...just ask Capone


This also raise the question of do we want legalization or decriminalization? legalization requires the govt and rules is this really what we want? Or do we want a system that doesn't throw us in jail but rather fines us. I for one want no govt involvement at all, soon enough you will have to buy the govt's schwag or else....lets face it the govt can't run anything right, do you think they would get MJ right?

if i don't pay it the feds will come after me for undeclared income.

if i do pay the feds will come after me for cultivation.

Exactly, what I'm saying though is don't they already know you grow? I heard your name goes into a database, so they have it already. I personally would be more worried about taxes, they don't fuck around though. I personally believe this will be the feds new method of getting farmers..the raids seem a little brutal and it would be a great PR move to start busting growers for taxes. So they would make you look like a tax swindler rather than an innocent farmer. I'm not in your shoes so I don't wanna say but I would say talk to a lawyer ASAP, you are a family man FDD.

On a side note:

What if Cali doesn't do well with the whole tax thing? Is the fed govt going to step in and say. "see we tried to make it work in Cali, and it didn't so no more MM at all". I personally think the govt is using this as a test run to see what numbers they come up with...meaning how much MJ and how much money can be made. And also to control the situation without looking like drug war cowboys

I aint signin nothin tell them u want cash or just give it to them if u like them that much maybe they will return the favor

i'm registered at the cubs but they don't share those records. they can be seized in a raid then followed up but that's a long list of names. i'm registered with the state but only as a face and #. no personal info was shared. only the initial application had my name and it was destroyed upon issuance of my card.
