The hypocritical attack by the IRS and US Attorney Melinda Haag against California medical cannabis dispensaries, particularly in Oakland, feels like it’s right out of a Kafka novel. On the one-hand, the feds (which include the IRS) adamantly maintain that the possession and sale of medical marijuana is illegal because pot is considered an unlawful controlled substance under federal law. But at the same time, the IRS maintains that any proceeds from the sale of medical pot by dispensaries to members of their cooperatives are taxable. On its face, this double standard is ridiculous. But the Internal Revenue Service’s mind-bending arguments don’t stop there.
