Pay Your Taxes!!

i didn't get all the info but, the board of equalization in san fransisco wants there tax money from the cannabis clubs.

where is this heading?

here it goes.

Calif. officials telling medical marijuana dealers to pay taxes

Our beloved government hard at work going after those dangerous medical marijuana users. I would think that the federal government, which we all know would love to bust every mm patient, getting their hands on any type of record with personal info can only lead to bad chit.

You can trust me I am from the government. Just ask the Indians.

it sounded good until the last sentence. 8 years retro?

nobody cares. i paid sales tax on my weed yestarday. i went to the club and bought some seeds and a sample gram. i was charged state sales tax. i could use my atm card at the register. they have bar codes on everything. it's like your local retailer. printed receipts. the state wants there cut. when will the feds step in.

this is HUGE!!!!!!!!!

a club in oakland tried to pay federal taxes a few years ago. they were raided.

will they tax my garden? or is this just for sales.

new mexico passed a few days ago, but you can't grow your own. WHO'S GROWING IT?????

hello, anyone see whats happening?

hang on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Man thats just fucked up... Did you know that Arkansas still charges tax on food products? The poor people that can barly afford to feed themselfs are paying more money for less food. Fucked up I say!

I didnt know there was any states that dont charge taxes on food products.....WTF!? Do most states do this?

Washington doesn't... California doesn't... I don't remember if any of the other states I have lived in did or not.

so here is what i see.

California taxes pot.
California makes BIG dollars.
Feds say wait a minute, we want some.
Pot is legalized and controlled by the government.

whatever, as long as they don't try to go tax the people who grow their own. i guess it kind of makes sense to tax the "storefront" type sales.

what would be really bad is if they try to force everyone to buy from those "clubs" instead of having autonomy. probably the next step.





.

The true test will come when the majority of legal med users try to write off their growing expenses against their state and federal income taxes as medical expenses.

You havent seen anything yet. on april 17 here in my city they have a electrical licence class. this is to discuss the new upgraded grid. in the last 7 hour class they were discussing how to program into the base grid formula a way to isolate surges that detect lighting DRAW! this is designed to do 2 things. helping commercial users get lower rates for lighting these high rise buildings. the other is to catch local growers. in the month of march 2007 11 grow houses were taken down locally. these were all discovered due to "current diversion" (thieft) and demand (Amps). if any residence or business pulls this figure you will be investigated.

So they have you arrested now you get your charges.
you can recieve state or federal charges. then after this they can nail you for tax evasion. they are starting to see how much money a local grower can make. when you have grow ops like the canada factory, or the tenesee caves these send a direct message. They want the cut from this money.
Here in texas about 7 years ago they made drug TAX Stamp.

Not that drugs are legal but what the state said was clear. It is unlawful to posses or sell these drugs but if you have the tax stamps on your drugs when you are arrested we will not seize your assets you will face criminal charges but not tax evasion.

So dont be suprised when you said bumpy ride... you were sugar coating this issue.

I agree with you Fdd...I think this could be a step towards legalization.

yeah but what about the states with no decriminalization laws? your telling me that when the government legalizes bud, all the states will have it legalized? michigan dosent have it decriminalized, california has it decriminalized PLUS the medical marijuana. so whats in it for states like michigan? where if your caught with a tiny bit your thrown in jail?

If the Federal Government taxes the states that have decriminalization laws or have medical marijuana, then they basically have to admit they are wrong and legalize it... Mabie im missing the whole point... Mabie not... Im buzzed

Dont forget to look at the bright side of things. You are lucky enought to have medical weed available. Australia has none, so your a step above us. Having said that it is quite the kick in the pants all the red tape shit they do with it. thats the greedy government for you , by few people for few people.

This whole issue with legalization & taxation is super important to me right now - I am trying to open up a Medical Marijuana Dispensary (Aloha Healing House) for my community. Its so scary - I am a big dude and all, but Federal Fuck You In The Ass Prison is no joke.

I've seen a couple different lawyers concerning "the right way" to open up shop. They both said "the Feds are a wild card". Meaning we can do everything within the state's law and keep CA happy, but Uncle Sam can still dissapprove and shut us down AT ANY TIME. Even if we aren't trying to get any tax breaks, and we are paying our taxes, we can still get a visit form the DEA.

My lady and I will be at one. As long as no one throws any rocks or gets all "blatant ganja head" we should have a descent showing. I mean, we are crying out "we want to give you a cut".
