Because marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, business owners in 23 U.S. states where medical marijuana is legal face discrimination at tax time. Before any of these business owners files a tax return they need to be aware of the power that anti-marijuana IRS auditors hold over their financial future. Federal Tax Court has denied deductions on everything from store rent to marijuana purchased for resale to patients in the state-approved medical marijuana industry. The IRS does this by combining the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 together with IRS Code Section 280E. This allows them to grab huge sums of money from state-legal small business owners.

In a well written article here, there is reason to believe that those medical marijuana patients in the states that currently allow marijuana use for medicinal purposes are in jeopardy of losing their Second Amendment Rights. Second Amendment Rights are The Right To Bear Arms as a U.S. citizen. According to the article, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) says that a patient gives up his or her constitutional right just by letting the state know that they want to take medical marijuana. The article also points out that medical marijuana users have diminished rights just by having a marijuana card. Here's how the ATF sees it: If you are a medical marijuana patient, you are in violation of federal code Sect. 922(g) of the federal Gun Control Act, which basically says that anyone "who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" is basically barred from possessing or receiving guns or ammo. The article is worth reading, which I highly recommend... and most importantly, if you are going to apply for a medical marijuana card, it's best to know all of your rights and options.
